About this ebook
""Natural Wood Comfort"" explores the profound impact of wood on our well-being, delving into design psychology and our innate connection to nature. The book argues that wood positively influences our psychological state by triggering biophilic responses, reducing stress, and enhancing feelings of comfort.
Interestingly, research shows different types of wood, finishes, and applications can affect mood, cognitive function, and physiological stress responses. As urbanization increases, understanding how natural elements like wood can mitigate our disconnect from nature becomes crucial for creating sustainable, healthy living environments.
