The Project
Botanic Blend is a unique desk and chair set designed to bring the calming presence of nature into your home workspace. Inspired by the natural way leaves fold and bend, this furniture piece aims to enhance the work-from-home experience by fostering a closer interaction with plants. Perfect for those who lack the luxury of accessing green spaces, Botanic Blend offers a biophilic touch to help you stay connected to nature right at your desk.
The Inspiration Behind the Project

The inspiration for Botanic Blend stemmed from the growing need for a connection to nature, especially in an era where working from home has become so prominent. Recognizing the positive impact of nature on well-being, Jessop wanted to create a piece of furniture that could provide this connection within the confines of a home office.
