While wood has long been a go-to material in furniture, fresh new work shows that designers are branching out, making use of coconut shells, agave fibers, and more. It’s a trend that feels perfectly timed to the spring season, as we swap out lacquer and chrome finishes for those that feel more a part of the great outdoors. Some of these pieces, like designer Joyce Lin’s Root Chair, reflect their materiality in their form; others, like Grain’s playful Clover table made with cork, are more discreet. This nature-centric wave persists in fashion, too, where raffia hats and breezy silhouettes have hit the Jacquemus and Dior runways, respectively. Here, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite chairs, tables, mirrors and more that will help give your home the “natural look.”
