‘An inspirational book … the gamut of creative individuals – from the most sophisticated designer lair to the most elementary self-built shack – are linked by a common passion and a seductive freedom of spirit’ – State of Art

‘Achingly beautiful properties … stunning photography’ – Daily Mirror

Distinguished Norwegian photographer Solvi dos Santos has roamed the globe seeking out artists and designers whose domestic interiors are inspired by natural materials and organic forms.

In the face of machine-made and technologically aided art, these artists have embraced nature as their medium and ensured that their art informs their everyday life. The result is a breathtaking book of styles that will never go out of fashion – a celebration, not only of the materials, but of the fusion of art and daily life.

Contemporary Natural is a universal style book, revealing to the full how infinitely inspiring nature can be and includes special visual resource section dedicated to the materials used by the artists.
