In the sunny silence of the Spanish countryside, between olive groves and whitewashed walls, Nuria Val reinvents the art of natural living. The founder of Rowse cultivates a sensitive, instinctive aesthetic, nourished by light, material, and the peaceful rhythm of nature. Through a summer lunch imagined for Ferm Living Stories, she shares much more than a moment of conviviality: a vision of the world, where the table becomes a silent manifesto of simple beauty and self-awareness.
Photographer, artistic director, and founder of the natural cosmetics brand Rowse, Nuria Val cultivates a way of life that is both intuitive and deeply rooted in nature. With her sensitive eye and passion for raw materials, she creates a peaceful, luminous world where every detail counts.
In an interview with Ferm Living Stories, she shares her vision of a more conscious daily life, where the table becomes a true space for personal expression. Far from the superfluous, Nuria composes her meals with precision, simplicity, and sensitivity. The setting? A sun-drenched house in the heart of the Spanish countryside, where the imperfection of handmade objects, the richness of organic textures, and the fleeting beauty of natural light are celebrated.
For this summer lunch, she imagines a spontaneous setting, guided by the seasons, the colors of the earth, and the desire to slow down. Each element tells a story: that of a way of life which values the living, the connection to the elements, and an aesthetic without artifice.
" Living in Spain, and more specifically near the sea, I'm surrounded by warm, natural tones, raw textures, and incredible natural light. These elements always appear on my table: raw linen, terracotta, sun-bleached wood, and simple wildflowers. There's a relaxed elegance to the Spanish landscape that I try to capture. " Nuria Val
