“Never as today the study of new housing needs, expectations and desires of different populations of users has been so crucial to our profession. And, more than ever before, it is the interior spaces and objects of everyday life that reflect the transformations in lifestyles and ways of living.

Stefano Boeri
Among the values and principles that Stefano Boeri Interiors promotes and that underpin his design approach, there is the demineralization of urban surfaces, which encourages the production and sharing of energy from renewable sources in various forms and scales of design. The study, in fact, favors and supports a circular economy, thanks to the use of materials of natural derivation, with levels of certification and guarantee for the healthiness of inhabited spaces or that have high percentages of recycled. With his work, in fact, he promotes the growth of biodiversity, protecting natural habitats and upgrading the degraded ones.
