A modern architectural interior showcasing biomimicry-inspired design elements. The left image features an intricate suspended installation of irregularly shaped stone fragments and translucent minerals, seemingly floating in mid-air, evoking the organic randomness of natural rock formations. Warm, linear LED lighting accentuates the textures and depth. The right image presents a contemporary fireplace with a rusted metal hood, mimicking the natural process of weathering, and a sculptural chandelier composed of suspended rocks and glowing bulbs, resembling a fragmented, illuminated canopy. The raw concrete walls and minimalist bench further highlight the harmony between natural materials and innovative design.
