Design is all around us, but good design that is focused on people, problem solving and resistant to fast changing trends is rare. WOOD MOOD DESIGN is a result of design thinking that puts humans and their needs at the center of attention, finding aesthetic inspiration in tradition and nature. Traditional elements have metamorphosed into minimalistic shapes, yet they still carry the signature features of their time, molded into contemporary forms. Made of natural materials, nature itself dictated design forms in some cases, bringing present day human in touch with nature, such a necessary move in these modern, hectic times.
