1. LAIA MONTSERRAT CORTÁZAR FROM SLOW STUDIO: WHAT IS SLOW DECORATION?
Laia Montserrat Cortázar is an architect. Her studio, Slow Studio, specializes in sustainability. “We believe that slow decoration must be a project commitment from the very beginning, focused on improving health and quality of life in our homes, opting for conscious consumption and questioning every decision we make, whether regarding the selection of materials, finishes, furniture, or fabrics,” she notes. Slow decoration is closely linked to the well-being of the people who inhabit the spaces.
2. ESSENTIAL: THE CHOICE OF MATERIALS
When creating a slow space, the architect from Slow Studio considers the correct choice of materials essential. “It is vital to always ask whether the materials are natural, have a low ecological footprint, are locally sourced, are harmless to people and the environment, and can be recovered, reused, or recycled at the end of their useful life,” she explains.
3. SLOW STUDIO: INTEGRATING GREENERY
“In line with the commitment to the authenticity and warmth of natural materials is the integration of greenery, creating biophilic spaces—in contact with nature—and following the principles of regenerativism,” indicates Laia Montserrat.
