What makes us belong? As humans, we instinctively long for a sense of root-fast attachment to a social and cultural community. For the second instalment of ‘New Naturals’—curated by editor and stylist Jennifer Haslam—Another Country explores how this profound need for connection is shaped by the spaces we inhabit. For Another Country, belonging means creating alongside a like-minded collective of designers, architects, and craftspeople who put the environment first.

This immersive exhibition showcases homes enveloped in nature, by architects dedicated to transforming spaces into nurturing, healthy environments. Featuring furniture from Another Country, models by Rural Office and Clementine Blakemore architects, the showcase proves that a connection to the natural world isn’t exclusive to rural living. By surrounding ourselves with natural materials within the very fabric and furnishings of our homes, we reap vital health benefits and find our grounding.

As Jennifer Haslam notes, “To be surrounded by all these natural materials and not know how to use them is a true waste.” ‘New Naturals’ champions the visionaries who know how to craft them out, designing with intention to remind us of our place in the world and the lasting impact of what we leave behind.
