Timber Inside: Bringing nature into our buildings

As a time-tested, renewable, carbon-storing material, the benefits of using wood in our built environment are well known. The focus of this panel is to delve into the powerful psychological, educational and sensorial potentials of making a building feel like a wood building.

Featuring leading designers behind three projects from the Wood Awards 2025 shortlist, this talk will consider how timber interiors – from exposed structures, to fit outs and furniture – can connect users to history, to nature, and to sustainable making practices, in both rural and urban spaces.

This talk will take place at the Material Matters Fair at Space House, during the London Design Festival. The talk is free to attend for registered visitors.


When: Friday 19 September, 15:00 – 15:45

Where: Space House, 1 Kemble Street (Kingsway), London WC2b 4AN
