class=\"has-drop-cap size-regular\">Flat ceilings, uniform walls, and repetitive grids lack the organic complexity that our visual systems crave. We spend 90 percent of our lives in spaces our biology doesn&#8217;t recognize\u2014surrounded by surfaces lacking the patterns that signal safety, comfort, and home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">This tension between the built environment and our innate need for nature poses a design challenge that goes far beyond aesthetics. It touches wellness, productivity, and how we experience space. The most progressive interior solutions don&#8217;t simply acknowledge this disconnect\u2014they dissolve it, integrating biophilic principles in creative, organic ways that blur the boundary between inside and outside across workplace, retail, hospitality, and residential environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Systems Rooted in Nature\u2019s Logic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">B+N Industries has built its latest product collections around this very principle. The Fortina Batten System, Iconic Panels, and Infused Veneer collections are designed to provide designers with a comprehensive toolkit, recognizing that biophilia isn\u2019t about simply adding a potted plant to a lobby\u2014it&#8217;s about embedding nature&#8217;s inherent logic into the architectural visual language itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">The company\u2019s Fortina Batten System offers over 100 wood-look finishes, capturing the grain, depth, and variation of natural species\u2014from rich walnut to bleached oak. This aluminum batten system, wrapped in patterned non-PVC film, can function as a shading device or a space-defining element. When multiple battens are arranged together, they allow light to filter through in dappled patterns that mimic sunlight through leaves\u2014a biophilic effect shown to reduce stress and enhance cognitive function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"865\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//11//Lo-Res-Web-JPG-ZigZagSpike-1024x865.jpg/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119915\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Lo-Res-Web-JPG-ZigZagSpike-1024x865.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Lo-Res-Web-JPG-ZigZagSpike-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Lo-Res-Web-JPG-ZigZagSpike-768x649.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"861\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//11//Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-PinkFrangipani-1024x861.jpg/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-PinkFrangipani-1024x861.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-PinkFrangipani-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-PinkFrangipani-768x646.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecting Art and Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">B+N\u2019s Iconic Panels bring the natural world indoors, evoking textures of bark, radial growth rings, and the flowing geometries of leaves and water. These tactile, sculptural surfaces transform walls into dimensional experiences that engage both eye and hand. With over 30 patterns and 12 finishes, the collection reflects collaborations with designer Jamie Durie\u2014whose \u201ctransterior\u201d philosophy dissolves boundaries between inside and outside\u2014and graphic designer Rex Ray, known for his abstract, midcentury-inspired aesthetic.<br><br>Also featuring designs by Durie and Ray, the Infused Veneers start with real wood, infused with patterns integrated directly into the surface. Durie\u2019s nature-inspired motifs blend with the wood\u2019s grain, evoking forms shaped by wind, water, and time, while Ray\u2019s midcentury-inspired collages add playful color and movement. High-gloss resin finishes deepen richness and texture, creating a vibrant, timeworn, and durable look ideal for walls, fixtures, and casework.<br><br>These collections empower creative professionals to bring warmth, pattern, and organic authenticity to indoor spaces, all while maintaining the performance standards that high-traffic commercial environments demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=https://metropolismag.com/"https:////metropolismag.com//wp-content//uploads//2025//11//Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-201-King-of-Prussia-Road_Interior_Lobby_09-2-1-scaled.jpg/" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-201-King-of-Prussia-Road_Interior_Lobby_09-2-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-201-King-of-Prussia-Road_Interior_Lobby_09-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-201-King-of-Prussia-Road_Interior_Lobby_09-2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-201-King-of-Prussia-Road_Interior_Lobby_09-2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-201-King-of-Prussia-Road_Interior_Lobby_09-2-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Mid-Res-Powerpoint-JPG-201-King-of-Prussia-Road_Interior_Lobby_09-2-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"comment size-regular\">Would you like to comment on this article?
