Naturally Soft Ripples Between the Streets and Rooftops

Cities are generally considered to be the opposite of nature. Little green, hardly some animals, but a lot of traffic, noise, crowding and stress. At the same time, however, cities also stand for culture, dynamism and change. In this attitude to life characterised by speed, efficiency and innovation, the desire for places of peace and relaxation is stirred. A quiet longing for nature, which is inscribed in every detail of everyday life. We look for the green spaces, the fresh air, the rustling of the leaves and the soft light of a canopy above us.

And although we don’t think of nature with the first thought we think of cities, it is essential for the life in cities. It makes a decisive contribution to the everyday quality of life and the attractiveness of cities. In the midst of concrete, glass and asphalt, plants give the city their lively breathing, while trees filter dust and exhaust fumes, provide shade and cool the heated atmosphere. Parks and green spaces transform noise into silence, hectic into peace and quiet and they are places of retreat and recreation for people and also animals. Green spaces promote well-being, reduce stress and invite you to linger and meet. They reconnect people with nature and are an encourgaging reminder that life grows even in the densest urban network.
Varied urban greenery thus enables very different habitats with a special biodiversity of animals and plants in a very small space. Ideally, modern urban design also takes this to heart and pays attention to the integration and coexistence of nature for the benefit of all, fostering healthier environments and a stronger connection between people and their surroundings.

With our Organic Duvet Cover Set Line Merelly, we take up the often ambivalent attitude to life in the cities and harmonise it with the tranquility of nature. Our new colour, Urban Pool, is reminiscentof one of the most important building blocks of life: water. Our bodies consist of a good 70 percent of it. Water is fundamental for all bodily functions and helps us feel healthy and vital. Maybe that’s why it’s so soothing to swim in crystal clear natural water, surrounded by plants and water that is so clean that you can drink it. Instead of using great effort and aggressive chemicals to curb the forces of nature, ecological swimming pools, so-called living pools, offer the beautiful opportunity to let them work for you. Here, plants, gravel and microorganisms take over the purification of the water and make bathing an experience in harmony with nature. Like gardens, parks and green spaces, ecological pools also form functioning ecosystems in the middle of our cities, creating small but vital sanctuaries within urban environments. They stand for a way of life that combines peace and relaxation with ecological responsibility, ecouraging a more conscious lifestyle.

Surrounded by glass facades, traffic noise and appointment calendars, it is of particular importance that we find enough time to relax, to slow down and to get a good night’s sleep. Merelly is made of pure organic cotton and allows us to sensitise the senses to the natural cycles, to calm the breath and to reconnect us with nature even in the cities, where such moments can be rare. Certified from the field through the entire production chain with the strictest international standard for textiles, the IVN BEST, Merelly lets you gently immerse yourself in Urban Pool as in clear natural water and sleep restfully and healthily, night after night.

Between Skyline
and Silence

Between natural world and city
blue-green and grey
city comfort and natural balance
weariness und vivaciousness

In the midst of the city
we find a piece of nature
next to the window,
a mirrow, a sky

meeting each other
water and clouds
mixing together
purling wind

casts reflexions
on the wall inside,
soft ripples of light,
and on the outside, crisp,
it is awaiting you.
