Five reasons why wood is a natural choice when designing a public place

Designing a public space requires a lot more than what meets the eye. Layout, flow, seating capacity, acoustics and lighting all come into play. One of the most important pieces of this puzzle is to carefully plan the choice of materials used in a space. Designers can choose from plastic, glass, metal or wood, not to mention a variety of fabrics and foams. The options can be overwhelming, especially when balancing the aesthetics of the materials with their comfort, sustainability, durability and safety.

As we are moving towards making greener choices in our lifestyles and reducing our carbon footprint, thinking in an environmentally friendly way when designing a public place has become top priority. With wood being one of the highest trending materials, Green Furniture Concept sees it as an easy and natural choice when designing for the future.
