Nature Squared

Founded by Paul Hoeve & Lay Koon Tan in 2000, Nature Squared is a Swiss ethical design brand specialized in surfaces. We combine artisan skills and innovation to transform natural materials into sustainable products for residences, yachts, jets, and luxury brands. We are pioneer in the use of eco-friendly waste like eggshells, seashells, fruit and more.
“We create extraordinary new surfaces using sustainable natural materials and waste.”

Product highlights

Our Natural Material

  • Our core crafts are hand weaving, hand casting and hand inlay.
  • We design using natural organic waste from Asia & Africa that we divert from landfill, thus averting methane emission. Every sale adds fully to our carbon negativity.
  • We source predominantly from industries such as farming and fishing, transforming what would normally be considered waste.
  • We combine artisanal skills with cutting-edge technology to upcycle the beauty of materials that are abundant and not endangered, protected, or threatened.
  • Our Surface Offering

  • Our surfaces are available as panel components for fit-out and furniture applications as well as in fully Bespoke items.
  • Emerald Forest, Crimson Moss and Stone Ashes are 3 of our hand-inlaid collections. We have many more collections of hand inlaid, hand woven and hand cast materials.
  • Through Material Bank we share a glimpse into our world.
  • Please contact us directly for more collections of hand inlay, hand cast and hand-woven surfaces as well as product collections of furniture, tiles, and objects.
  • Our Ethos

  • Sustainability is our founding value, in which environmental & social responsibility are inextricably linked.
  • While Swiss-based, we produce in the Philippines one of only eighteen mega-biodiverse countries, for plant and animal life both underwater and on land, facing significant challenges, such as frequent typhoons and rising sea levels, a threat to low-lying areas.
  • The Philippines is the 76th poorest country in the world, suffering a constant brain drain. There, we employ and train artisans, chemists, engineers, draftsmen & project managers, enhancing local heritage artisan skills with innovative, cutting-edge European technology and solutions.
  • We also support local communities by buying their waste products and supplementing subsistence incomes. Respect and dignity for every individual are at the core of our values.
  • Our Quality

  • We work closely with the world’s finest creative talents to provide one-of-a-kind interiors for residences, cars, private jets, superyachts, and customized items for luxury brands.
  • We are renowned for the highest technical and regulatory standards, quality control and seamless delivery, including the management of complex, high-profile projects.
  • We are ISO 9001certified facility and compliant with ISO, 14001 ISO 45001, and REACH standards.
  • We are the only provider of IMO compliant natural materials to the superyachts and cruise industries.
