Organic Design is more than using “green” materials. It means incorporating what is unique and essential to the client into defined, clear, healthy, innovative and naturally balanced designs and lifestyle directions. Organic Design means considering human interaction with nature, spiritual believes, comfort, dimensions according to the human body’s proportions, habitat orientation and relation to natural light, selection of natural materials, time-saving organization, fluidity of the furniture placement, harmony of the form, psychology of color, economy of material, energy efficiency and relationship with the outside environment.
Amélie personally ties her professional knowledge and successful experience with a true understanding of the clients’ needs, lifestyle and personality to satisfy their taste. The result is a new creation each time, allowing the design to be free from any influence, should that be a trend or an established style.
