At Wild Dirt, design isn't confined to four walls; it's cultivated amidst the verdant landscapes, the rustling leaves, and the shifting skies. Our ethos revolves around venturing into the world, immersing ourselves in the wonders of nature, and channeling those experiences into our creative process.
The Twilight Collection: An Exploration Inspired by Nature's Transition
In our quest to encapsulate the essence of nature's evocative transitions, we explored the ethereal stages of twilight. Astronomers discern three distinct phases: civil, nautical, and astronomical, each painting a different hue on the canvas of the sky.
Unveiling the Twilights: A Journey from Day to Night
Civil Twilight and Dusk:
A subtle transition from daylight to dusk, where the world softens and the glow lingers, allowing daily activities to persist without artificial illumination. It's when neighbors tend to their gardens, sharing moments amidst the fading light.
Nautical Twilight and Dusk:
Rooted in the era of star-guided navigation, this phase occurs when the sun dips 6 to 12 degrees below the horizon. Most stars become visible to the naked eye, marking the time for sailors to harness celestial navigation.
Astronomical Twilight and Dusk:
Amidst the fading light and the imminent arrival of darkness, the sun reclines 12 to 18 degrees below the horizon. A gentle illumination lingers, revealing a sky where stars begin to paint their constellations.
The Intersection of Nature and Creativity
Snatching these twilight moments, we find ourselves immersed in unparalleled inspiration. As designers, we draw from the hues, the shifting light, and the transitions that dance across the sky. These moments of atmospheric poetry inspire our collections, infusing them with the essence of the natural world.
Pledging to Preserve the Earth's Measure

A Call to Embrace Nature's Palette
With their nuanced hues and mystical transitions, the twilights beckoned us to savor these fleeting moments.
