🌿 Improving Air Quality in the Workplace with Plants 🌿 I was inspired to write this after hearing Nick Munro of Butterfly Air speak at the Bio-Spaces: Regenerative, Resilient Futures event, part of the London Design Festival, co-curated by Planted Community and Oliver Heath Design. Nick highlighted how butterflies 🦋 are indicators of clean air, which is essential for healthy workplaces. Earlier this week, I spotted this butterfly on my lunchtime walk around our office building. After hearing Nick speak, I now know that its presence is an indicator of good air quality, which I had not considered before, every day is indeed a school day! Despite spending 90% of our time indoors, there’s surprisingly little research on indoor air quality in the UK. Poor air quality can lead to all sorts of health problems, from breathing issues to struggles with focus. Research by Imperial College London points out that indoor air pollution can often be worse than what we find outside. This really shows how important it is to find effective ways to boost air quality in our workspaces. At Benholm Group, we understand the importance of nature-based solutions for improving air quality. Our living walls and plant displays not only purify the air 🌬️ but also regulate humidity, reduce stress, and increase productivity—creating healthier, more productive work environments 💼🌱. If you'd like to explore how our plant displays can enhance your workspace, feel free to contact me directly. #BioSpaces #LondonDesignFestival #NatureBasedDesign #BenholmGroup #RocaLondonGallery #butterflyair #greenwall #biophilicdesign #biophilia #interiordesign #interiordesigner #interiordesigners #officedesign #corporatedesign #greenery
