Biophilia is a concept that explores our inherent human inclination to connect with the natural world. Coined by Dr. Edward O. Wilson, a renowned Harvard naturalist, this term delves into our instinctive need to bond with nature. Biophilic design harnesses this innate connection by incorporating natural elements into environments where it would not usually occur, from confined windowless spaces to clinical hospital interiors. Professional architects, construction contractors, and interior designers utilise biophilic design concepts to ensure a vital link to the natural world is maintained, enhancing overall health and well-being. One of the most remarkable benefits of biophilic design is its ability to naturally reduce stress and anxiety while promoting holistic wellness in every aspect of life. Sky Inside has used the concepts and principles explored in biophilic theory, taking its integration above and beyond in our digital displays. Our products are classified as medical equipment, given the immense patient benefits they are proven to have. This makes us the leading supplier of such products in the UK today.
