Natan Gil Architecture - Loft Whispers of the Mountains. Just like in the misty mountain ranges of Minas Gerais in the morning, here white predominates, only interrupted at times by some furniture, the base of the dining table, and the bathroom cladding. Full of references to the architect's homeland, the 88 m² loft with living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom tells stories through original pieces. Large windows open to the green, dissolving the boundary between inside and outside, city and forest. These connections propose a new way of inhabiting, in which nature stands out and architecture dispenses with visual barriers, preferring to intertwine memories and textures.

More than a trend, organic furniture reflects a change in the way of living. Soft curves, fluid lines, and natural textures rescue the connection to the essential, creating welcoming and sensory projects. At a time when comfort takes center stage, these pieces awaken the eye and touch.

With roots in modernism and inspiration from nature, organic design values asymmetrical shapes, raw materials, and continuous surfaces. These are pieces that dialogue with the human body and with space — making the house a more alive, fluid, and intuitive place!

Design that embraces


These pieces stand out for their presence of non-linear forms, evoking the aesthetics of nature and awakening a sensation of visual softness.

Curves and fluidity


Curved, wavy, or asymmetrical lines are at the center of organic design. These shapes promote a sensation of movement and smoothness, moving away from geometric rigidity and bringing a touch of delicacy to projects.

Natural materials and textures


Organic furniture is often made from solid wood, stone, wicker, straw, or natural fabrics, such as linen and cotton. The evident textures reinforce the tactile connection with the object and with the project.

Integration between function and form


The pieces have ergonomics as a principle, with curves that follow the body and solutions thought out for everyday use. They are objects that balance comfort, aesthetics, and functionality — like wide-seated chairs or sofas with enveloping contours.

How to include organic furniture in the decoration


With a striking personality, organic furniture doesn’t need major interventions to transform a project. Knowing how to position them is the first step to explore their full potential.

Highlight for the main piece


Scultpure-like armchairs, coffee tables with irregular edges or sofas with marked curves work as protagonists in the decoration. It’s worth investing in a that interacts with the rest of the project and brings visual focus.

Balanced composition


Alongside linear or more discreet pieces, organic furniture stands out even more. The mix between straight and curved shapes creates contrast and values the sensory proposal of these pieces.

Visual breathing


Due to their striking visual presence, organic furniture needs space to "breathe". Leave gaps around, avoid overloads, and allow the eye to traverse the shapes naturally.

How to combine with other elements


The curves of organic furniture open up possibilities for softer, cozier, and fluid compositions. The key lies in maintaining balance and dialogue between forms, colors, and textures.

Welcoming colors


Neutral tones, earthy and natural (such as sand, terracotta, moss green, or off-white) create a base that values the design of the organic pieces. But it is also possible to explore contrast points, like a sofa with sinuous contours in a vibrant tone.

Lighting that values the shapes


Directed lamps or diffuse light help to highlight the contours of the pieces. Warm and soft light reinforces the welcoming atmosphere, especially in sitting projects.

Complementary with natural textures


Puffy rugs, raw cotton throws, handcrafted ceramics, and works in stone or wood dialog with the concept of organicity. These details expand the sensory experience of the space.

Maria Alice Crippa e Gustavo Assis - Living Essências. O Living nasce do encontro entre a solidez da pedra e a leveza da luz, entre a força dos materiais naturais e a delicadeza dos detalhes. Cada elemento foi pensado como uma extensão da paisagem, como se o tempo tivesse esculpido cada peça com a precisão da natureza. É um convite ao SENTIR. O bloco de mármore maciço ancorado no espaço parece conter memórias antigas, enquanto a luz dança suavemente sobre as superfícies dos painéis de lâmina natural com cantos arredondados.
