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.

The book progresses systematically, first introducing biophilic design and the human connection to nature. It then examines the psychological effects of wood through research and case studies in residential, commercial, and healthcare settings, demonstrating improved well-being through strategic wood use.
Finally, it explores the sustainability aspects, advocating for responsible forestry practices and the role of wood in reducing carbon footprints. This approach bridges environmental psychology, sustainable design, and neuroscience, providing a holistic understanding of wood's multifaceted impact and offering practical design recommendations for optimizing well-being.
