Ginkgos – The Power of Balance
For millions of years, the ginkgo tree has symbolized resilience, balance, and regeneration.
This natural principle is the foundation of our brand: Gingkos develops materials that harmonize spaces
and support people in their everyday lives – gently, naturally, and tangibly.
Our products bring the balancing qualities of the ginkgo tree into modern living spaces
and create spaces that promote tranquility, clarity, and a sense of well-being. We combine insights from building biology with modern materials research to create a sense of calm in living spaces and foster a balanced living environment. Gingkos embodies the belief that spaces are more than just architecture – they have an effect on us. That is why we develop solutions that balance energy and restore spaces to their
natural harmony.

The creators of Gingkos
Behind Gingkos is Barbara Jurk, an architect and interior designer, Master of Green Building, building biologist, Feng Shui expert, and Tao Geomancy Grandmaster, who is registered with the German and Spanish Chambers of Architects. For more than 25 years, she has been exploring the question: “How do we create spaces that are truly good for people?” Her experience in architecture, building biology, and materials research leads to solutions that not only work from a technical standpoint but also tangibly enhance the sense of well-being in a space.
