Real materials

High-quality real materials such as wood, slate, concrete, glass or even paper are not only a real trend in home furnishings. Materials in their natural and unaffected form have special characteristics - in terms of processing, colour, structure and effect. Their popularity can be attributed to various factors.

Why real materials

1

Sustainability and environmental awareness

Due to the growing awareness of environmental issues and sustainable consumption, many people attach importance to natural materials. This is because they are often more environmentally friendly to produce and dispose of than synthetic materials.

2

Authenticity

In a digital and fast-moving age, many people long for authenticity, naturalness and durability. Real materials such as wood, concrete, glass and paper epitomise these values. They lend a room a special atmosphere.

3

Aesthetics and haptics

Real materials often have an unusual texture, a unique appearance and a pleasant feel. This enhances the sensory experience of a room and contributes to a harmonious overall look.

4

Durability

Real materials are robust and durable. With good care, you can enjoy them for many years or even decades, whereas artificial materials often show signs of wear more quickly.

5

Individuality

As real materials are subject to natural fluctuations, products made from them are often unique. This is appreciated by many people who want unique home furnishings.

As long as the need for sustainability, authenticity and quality takes centre stage, real materials will remain a trend.

Overview of real materials

  • Slate

    Slate, a timelessly elegant natural stone, impresses with its layered texture and impressive flexural strength. It can be integrated into living areas in a variety of ways and harmonises particularly well with natural materials such as wood and stone. Innovative production processes emphasise ecological responsibility and make slate heat-resistant, scratch-resistant and waterproof. Its use not only creates an earthy ambience, but also makes a statement for sustainable design - even in the form of a light switch.

  • Concrete

    Concrete, once in the shadows, has become the star of design. Robust, resilient and durable, it is not only functional, but also environmentally friendly thanks to its local production and recallability. Versatile in use, every concrete object shows slight variations, from worktops to furniture. The combination with warm materials prevents cold industrially, while concrete brings a natural, raw aesthetic to modern designs. Contemporary and timeless, concrete creates atmosphere in any room.

  • Glass

    Fascinating and versatile material that impresses with its transparency, durability and longevity. As a 100 per cent recyclable material, it offers numerous design options, from transparent to patterned. Whether as an accent or the main feature in a room, glass lends openness and light, especially through glass walls or doors in open-plan living concepts. Easy cleaning and stain resistance make glass ideal for kitchen splashbacks, bathrooms, table tops and even smart home controls such as the Busch-RoomTouch® 4" with a glass surface.

  • Paper

    At first glance, it may seem unusual for interior design, but the diverse properties of wood make it extremely attractive in the design sector. Many types of biodegradable paper are resistant to heat, abrasion and chemicals. Compared to other materials, paper is often inexpensive, an affordable option for decoration and design. Paper composites have become increasingly popular in the construction and residential sectors due to their functional and sustainable properties. Their strength makes them ideal for the construction of furniture, decorative wall panels and light switches.

  • Wood

    One of the oldest and most versatile building materials. As a renewable material, it can be sourced from sustainable forests or recycled to suit different budgets. Versatile in use from flooring to furniture and decorative accents such as light switches, wood shows its breadth of application. With the right care, it will last for generations. Wood harmonises with glass, metal, stone and fabrics, enabling versatile and interesting design combinations. Whether rustic or modern, simple or luxurious, wood can be used in a variety of ways depending on the type and application.
