Through beautifully photographed residences, which have an exquisite layering of classic and modern furnishings, Stephanie Kienle Gonzalez discusses how to bring sustainable elements into your living space. She employs organic forms, stone and wood pieces, and natural weaves with texture, such as seagrass, caning, bamboo, and rattan. For her urban dwelling she adds tropical greenery and flowers to enliven the interiors, and her eco-friendly family lodge, immersed in the bush wilderness, is surrounded by lush plantings. International designers and artists who have inspired her are also profiled from sustainable architect Elora Hardy to designers India Hicks, Nate Berkus, and Kenneth Cobonpue. Full of design and entertaining ideas, Embracing Natural Design is for those who are interested in achieving an environmentally conscious lifestyle.
斯蒂芬妮·基恩勒·冈萨雷斯(Stephanie Kienle Gonzalez)拍摄了很多精美的住宅,并将它们的家具按古典和现代分类,教你如何将可持续元素带入你的生活空间。她采用了有机的形式、石头和木头作品,以及具有纹理的自然编织,如海草、荆条、竹子和藤条。在城市住宅中,她加入了热带绿色植物和花卉,让室内充满生机,而她设计的生态友好型家庭小屋,沉浸在丛林的荒野中,被茂盛的植物所包围。本书还介绍了给她带来灵感的国际设计师和艺术家,包括可持续发展的建筑师伊洛拉·哈迪(Elora Hardy)、设计师英迪尔·希克斯(India Hicks)、内特·伯库斯(Nate Berkus)和肯尼斯·科邦普(Kenneth Cobonpue)。本书充满了设计和娱乐的理念,适合那些对实现环境意识的生活方式感兴趣的人。
