What we can learn from butterflies

Ever since I first read Janine Benyus's Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature, I've descended into a rabbit hole in search of what " intelligence " really means (and who has it). Perhaps that's why I love the name of this newsletter so much. [It's a worm, after all. A humble, indispensable critter buried beneath the soil.] Benyus's central argument is that the "smartest" solutions to human problems already exist in nature. We just need to know where, and how, to look for them. (For instance: wind turbines inspired by humpback whales.)

Ensemble Is a Tribute to Nature That's Sculpted Into Seating

Nature is often the go-to inspiration for design, but award-winning French designer and De La Espada Atelier take that idea and make it strikingly literal. Their limited-edition Ensemble collection doesn't just nod to the outdoors but borrows directly from its forms and silhouettes, reinterpreting them in wood, stone, and textiles. The result is the next best thing to being in the forest, only brought indoors.
