Palm to showcase biophilic fixtures that tap into the universal desire to be immersed in nature.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By Julie A. Palm<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replete with nature motifs and featuring fixtures that create dappled light, Broche is one of Crystorama\u2019s bestselling lighting collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts in neuroaesthetics and biophilia would not be surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not familiar with neuroaesthetics? It\u2019s a field of science that studies psychological responses to art, objects, design and architecture. In the world of home furnishings, neuroaesthetics can be used by manufacturers, designers and retailers to help people choose products and create rooms that improve their physical and emotional health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neuroaesthetics has several aspects. A foundation is that, as humans, we are drawn to nature, whether materials like wood and stone or the rhythms and patterns of the natural world, including the flow of water and that dappled light created by some of Crystorama\u2019s Broche fixtures. &nbsp;We sometimes talk about this as the biophilic component of neuroaesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humans are evolutionarily wired to be drawn to nature. For instance, dappled light reminds us of the tree canopy and the protection it offers, according to people who study such things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bill Browning, Hon. AIA, LEED AP, co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terrapinbrightgreen.com\/\">Terrapin Bright Green<\/a>, is an expert in biophilic design and has a book on the subject, <em>14 Patterns of Biophilic Design: Improving Health and Well-Being in the Built Environment<\/em>. He spoke about the subject last spring at High Point Market. Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/designnewsnow.com\/biophilia-beyond-plants-and-fountains\/\">here<\/a>.<em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But back to Crystorama. Ryan Ranzino, vice president of sales for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystoramalights.com\/\">Crystorama<\/a>, talked about the Broche collection and his company\u2019s approach to neuroaesthetics during a webinar last week on January 21. The seminar, \u201cDesigning for Well-Being: The Science Elevating Home Furnishings and Design,\u201d was sponsored by Science in Design, which teaches interior designers and others about the positive effects of beauty, nature and fine design on people\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranzino was joined on the panel by Jason Phillips, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phillipscollection.com\/\">Phillips Collection<\/a>, and Justin Alves, head of design at web design firm <a href=\"https:\/\/jolausa.com\/\">Jola<\/a>. Mike Peterson, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/scienceindesign.com\/\">Science in Design<\/a>, moderated the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranzino told the webinar participants that Crystorama has marketed the Broche collection as bringing \u201cthe outdoors in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Broche six-light chandelier is indicative of the collection\u2019s vibe. The inverted pendant is made of hand-painted wrought iron leaves delicately wrapped around the frame to create a warm, inviting glow. Shown here in Antique Gold, it\u2019s also available in Antique Silver and Matte White.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580-1024x583.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2627 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580-1024x583.png 1024w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580-1536x875.png 1536w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580-450x256.png 450w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580-20x11.png 20w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580-225x128.png 225w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580-900x513.png 900w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580-1350x769.png 1350w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Crystorama_1580.png 1580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Crystorama\u2019s Broche chandelier<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut many of these (neuroaesthetic) principles and design elements also show up organically for us in the way we think about proportion, material, finish or light output. (With light output,) we place close attention to how the light impacts the room, how it interacts with the pace, softens a room, creates rhythm,\u201d Ranzino told webinar participants. \u201cWe also use natural materials like handblown glass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by the webinar and Ranzino\u2019s insights, we thought we\u2019d look at other fixtures that capture some neuroaesthetic design principles, especially those related to biophilia. They range from organic and earthy to sophisticated and ethereal, offering options for a wide variety of consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As humans we\u2019re drawn to water. The High Tide linear pendant from <a href=\"https:\/\/varaluz.com\/\">Varaluz<\/a> is made of Spanish alabaster ovals that shimmer like ocean waves. Or maybe, the company says cheekily, they represent \u201cchic little fish scales.\u201d &nbsp;Either way, High Tide speaks to our affinity for the movement of \u2013 and within \u2013 water.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580-1024x583.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2628 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580-1024x583.png 1024w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580-1536x875.png 1536w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580-450x256.png 450w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580-20x11.png 20w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580-225x128.png 225w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580-900x513.png 900w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580-1350x769.png 1350w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Varaluz_High-Tide_1580.png 1580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Varaluz\u2019<\/em> <em>High Tide chandelier<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This round pendant is part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalco.com\/\">Kalco<\/a>\u2019s Coaxial collection, which combines natural materials and modern design.

The company describes the collection as blending classic and historical elements, including Egyptian, Babylonian, neoclassical, Viennese Secession and Art Deco influences. But in some pieces, we see biophilic influences, as well. Case in point: the Estela chandelier. The dark bronze octagonal frame and substantial chains may evoke the geometric rigor of the 1930s, but to us, the hundreds of slender glass rods, catching and reflecting light, mimic the mesmerizing cadence of raindrops streaming down windowpanes. Estela is also available as a wall lamp.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580-1024x583.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2630 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580-1024x583.png 1024w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580-1536x875.png 1536w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580-450x256.png 450w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580-20x11.png 20w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580-225x128.png 225w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580-900x513.png 900w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580-1350x769.png 1350w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_Eicholtz_1580.png 1580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Eichholtz\u2019s Estela chandelier<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In the Arvern sconce from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hvlgroup.com\/\">Hudson Valley Lighting Group<\/a>, two hand-woven wicker shades with scalloped edges are layered to create a seashell silhouette. \u201cAs light seeps through the tapered forms, it brings out the natural texture and tonal variations of the rattan,\u201d the company notes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580-1024x583.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2631 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580-1024x583.png 1024w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580-1536x875.png 1536w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580-450x256.png 450w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580-20x11.png 20w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580-225x128.png 225w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580-900x513.png 900w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580-1350x769.png 1350w, https:\/\/lightingnewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Neurodesign_HLVG_1580.png 1580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Hudson Valley Lighting Group\u2019s Arvern sconce<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Combining organic forms and echoing sea life, the Nome sconce from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arteriorshome.com\/\">Arteriors<\/a> was inspired by oyster shells.
