Nothing beats the texture and warmth of natural beautiful timbers. Featuring woods in any interior is equally good for our wellbeing and the environment when sourced sustainably. This week’s Indesign In Focus brings to you an array of warm finishes.

As designers, we are responsible for building and creating. But how can we design thoughtfully without waste? This weeks’ Indesign In Focus combines a list of sustainably designed products and accessories.
