Muuto collaborated with Kinda Studios to create an installation that seeks to reestablish our connection with the natural world. "Grounded in Nature" offers visitors a pause away from the rush of the city and the opportunity to reconnect with nature's rhythm.  

At the heart of the installation is the Dream View Bench by Lise Vester. Designed to invite moments of reflection and daydreaming with its smooth curves that embrace the body's natural shape, gently guiding the gaze upward toward the sky. As a sensory-focused piece, the Dream View Bench is part of a broader movement in interior design that emphasizes spaces meant to be felt and experienced, not just observed.  

A journey through nature's senses 

Rooted in the science of neuroaesthetics, the installation immerses visitors in nature through touch, sight, scent, and sound, creating an environment that invites both reflection and connection. 

Elements like plants, grasses, and moss with varying textures engage the senses, while different plant heights create a layered, organic landscape. Fractal patterns, from the Dream View's shape to reflective ponds, enhance the space. Mirrors and water deepen the sense of infinity.  

Intriguing scents, including 'Floating Leaf' by Studio Pneuma, evoke nature's essence fostering a deeper connection to the present moment and our surroundings. The soothing soundscape, designed by Swell Studio, blends pink noise and natural sounds like flowing water and rustling leaves to reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and lower heart rates.
