3form is launching a fresh take on biophilia with their new Ivory Flora Collection—a neutral all-white palette of botanicals that celebrate the texture, detail, and scale of materials found in nature. From delicate Star Flowers to robust Anahaw Palms to feathery Mountain Ferns, 3form design experts are showcasing organic materials with a crisp white twist. The new flora designs give designers the creative freedom of a blank canvas— whether you choose to leverage the 3form color system to create a unique look or as a neutral modern statement, the detailed textures of 3form’s Ivory Flora Collection bring the outdoors inside.
“We’ve shifted the idea of biophilia as a color additive and focused on the texture, detail, and scale these organics offer, and the result is a surface that draws you into a stunning display of materiality.” shared 3form’s Chief Creative Officer, Ryan Smith.
To develop the Ivory Flora Collection, 3form pressed dried botanicals within their flagship Varia product, meticulously testing the floras’ interaction with natural light. The beautiful dichotomy of crisp cleanliness and warmth comes alive when the patterns are exposed to different types of lighting, creating a depth and texture sought after in biophilic design. The collection includes three variations of scale, as well as the option to leverage 3form’s color system so that designers can add their signature touch to patterns ranging from delicate to dramatic.
Star Flower: This delicate, stemmed floral captures the calmness of a meadow and spring’s fresh start after a long winter. Star Flower’s intricate textures and variations of ivories and whites give a naturally light aesthetic, perfect for health and wellness spaces.
Anahaw Palm: For a bolder look, the white palm is reminiscent of natural shade on a white sandy beach, playing with shadow as ambient light passes through it. Though dramatic, the neutral tone keeps Anahaw Palm adaptable across many different environments, especially in high-end spaces needing a statement piece.
Mountain Fern: Soft and delicate like fresh snow layered on a tree, the complex textures of the sweeping blades beg to be observed up close. From far off, the Mountain Fern pattern is bright yet not stark, pillowy, and nearly translucent, adding elegance to interior spaces.
“The patterns in our new Ivory Flora Collection are real; you can see the unique characteristics of organic materials and appreciate the natural beauty up close and in all types of lighting. There’s no other architectural material as simple or as beautiful as a 3form organic panel,” shared 3form’s Chief Creative Officer, Ryan Smith.
3form’s Ivory Flora Collection is available in their Varia material platform. Varia has certifications in Optimized EPD (SCS), Greenguard Gold (UL), Type III EPD (SCS), and a Red List Free Declare Label (ILFI). This aggressive pursuit of certifications and higher product standards is one example of the company’s comprehensive sustainability program, Align, in action. Launched in March 2020 Align represents 3form’s commitment to empowering architects, designers, and consumers to make smart choices about how they buy and build.
The Ivory Flora Collection in Varia is available in 48" x 96" and 48" x 120" panels and in gauges ranging from ¼” to 1" with a four-week lead time.
