Work

Moving across different disciplines, anooi designs spaces, objects, and ideas that cultivate a nourishing relationship between people and nature.

Interiors

[Interior design. Spatial installations.]

Nourishing spaces that replenish and respect both people and nature. From concept and design development through documentation, specifications, and custom details. For residential and concept-driven, experience-led environments (commercial, wellness, hospitality, workplaces, cultural and community spaces, installations, and exhibitions). A single room or an entire interior, on-site or remote.

Product

[Concept development. Creative direction. Product design.]

Objects that engage the senses while celebrating and respecting the natural world. Created with brands and makers who share a commitment to responsible production.

Editorial

[Writing. Content structures. Visual and graphic direction. Editorial direction.]

Content and visual narratives that articulate the thinking and practice behind nourishing spaces and biophilic design. Books and publications, essays, columns.

Education

[Research. Content. Delivery.]

Sessions that explore and explain how nourishing, nature-based spaces are conceived and designed. Talks, lectures, workshops, seminars.

Culture

[Agenda. Creative and visual direction. Delivery.]

Gatherings and conversations that bring the idea of nourishing spaces to the public realm. Events, exhibitions and installations, curatorial collaborations, and research-led cultural work. Includes workshops and guided sessions: occasions for shared reflection hosted for festivals, institutions, and teams.

Projects originate from a shared way of looking at people, nature, and design. Each one led personally, from first conversation to completion. Every project begins with a conversation:

Approach

Everything begins with observation – noticing atmosphere, light, materiality, and sensory richness. How a surface feels to the touch. How light and air move through a space. Where the mind settles and where it is stimulated…

Found in the natural world and in daily life, these insights become spaces, objects, words, and experiences that replenish people, respect and restore nature, and inspire a deep and balanced relationship between the two.

For a broader sense of anooi’s perspective: Philosophy, Journal, A Biophilic Year.

Organization

Scope. Every project is unique. Scope and details are defined through conversation and shaped around the project’s own story, needs, and character.

Process. Projects follow a structured, phased path rooted in close collaboration. Even at a distance, they stay distinctly human and personal, grounded in video conversations, a dedicated Project Portal, and design decisions evaluated in real life.

Location. Both local and remote collaborations are possible, depending on the project.

Meaningful projects

A selection of meaningful projects across all disciplines and the stories behind them is in anooi’s portfolio.
