Living Hues: Biomimicry Design Concept

An innovative design concept that explores the application of biological colour-changing mechanisms found in marine life to create adaptive interior wallpaper solutions.

This exploratory research investigates natural colour-changing systems in cuttlefish, octopuses, and chameleons, analysing their cellular structures and rapid transformation capabilities. The study proposes a conceptual synthetic implementation using smart materials and environmental sensors to create adaptive wallpaper that responds to user preferences and environmental conditions.

The concept addresses interior design innovation through dynamic room ambiance control, circadian rhythm support, and mood-responsive environments for wellness applications. The design considers sustainability through energy-efficient colour changing compared to lighting systems and biodegradable material options inspired by natural processes.

This project demonstrates the potential for biomimicry to inspire innovative solutions in interior design, combining natural efficiency with modern technology concepts to envision adaptive living spaces. The work focuses on understanding the biological mechanisms rather than technical implementation, exploring what might be possible through nature-inspired design thinking.
