A Path to Stress Reduction

Mohawk Group is developing flooring collections that embrace a central methodology from nature, called fractals, and bring it into contract interiors. These patterns highlight the harmony and order that exist all around us and our vision has become fluent in nature’s visual language of fractals. We are hard-wired to look for these patterns, and, when our subconscious recognizes them, we feel calmer, and our stress levels are reduced.

At the intersection of design, science, and sustainability, Mohawk Group has collaborated with 13&9 Design and Dr. Richard Taylor of Fractals Research to create fractal-based collections that support human well-being. For Anastasija and Martin Lesjak of 13&9 Design, design is a holistic tool that connects people to their environments, encouraging moments of reflection beyond the daily routine. Dr. Richard Taylor and his team of scientists bring a deep understanding of how fractals, natural patterns, can significantly reduce stress and promote psychological wellness. Together, this partnership is driven by a shared mission: to craft thoughtful, sustainable environments that offer respite from the sensory overload of contemporary life.
