The connection to the sea has always been part of my life. Being born near the Mediterranean is something that has had a deep emotional connection with me. The sea's shore is the perfect environment to gather my thoughts during a walk and to find new ideas while my gaze is lost in that horizon where the sea and the sky meet. I love the sound of the waves coming and going, and the colourful sunrises that reflect on the water leaving me wondering whether what I see is real or a dream.
Perhaps it is my connection with the sea that has led me to opt for a healthier and more conscious life. As today is World Water Day, I would like to focus on environmental care, especially for the seas and oceans, and on the issue of drinking water, which is becoming an increasingly scarce resource.
Our lifestyle is damaging the ecosystem. Fortunately, there are more and more people who are committed to sustainability so to continue enjoying an environment that leaves everyone disarmed by its tranquillity. That is why the preservation of biodiversity has become an important value when it comes to shaping my brand of decoration. At Ofelia, we are committed to natural decoration, where sustainable development becomes just another design tool. In this way, I don’t only have sustainable decoration objects and furniture in my home, but these pieces can also reach other homes, thus multiplying their impact.
Sustainable decoration is not a style, a trend, a fashion, or even a way of decorating. It is rather a way of life, adapted to one’s personal taste, and based on the awareness of how each person can reduce his or her ecological footprint by decorating their home.
