Présentation de l'entreprise Nature Squared
Nature Squared is a Swiss-based company, founded 25 years ago by Lay Koon Tan and Paul Hoeve, as sustainable business.
We undertake all our work in Cebu Philippines, one of the most vulnerable places to climate change on earth, where we employ over 250 artisans specialising in weaving, casting, and inlay work, as well as technical and project managers across the globe.
We transform natural waste into luxurious finishes for interiors, furniture and accessories, working and collaborating on the most demanding projects, including mega-yachts, jets, high-end residential, and luxury hotel & boutiques.
However, we believe that creating beautiful materials should not harm the environment but instead respect and support local communities (such as bakeries, fishermen, and farmers), skills, and resources.
Produits et savoir-faire
Our portfolio features over 3,000 surfaces using a selection of over 60 types of natural waste materials, including eggshells, seashells, tobacco leaves, feathers, bamboo, canes, vines, reeds, and palm fiber, among others.
We work on individual projects, as the process is entirely handcrafted, from preparing the raw materials to the final finishing. Each piece whether walls, floors, ceilings, door panels, or complete furniture items is fully custom-made to the client’s specifications.
