Description// Beschreibung
Moss is a fascinating kind of plant that has endured since ancient times. Found almost everywhere it has been a steady presence to nearly anyone, making our life better by cleansing the air we breathe. And while it does, we humans marvel at its beautiful appearance. However, Moss only comes in the color green and is quite time and cost intensive to maintain which inspired me to create a unique sustainable acoustic object by transforming Peony Petals into a moss look-alike sound absorbing and damping surface. These petals remain in their form in spite of the fact that they have no internal structure, realized by a special hand-loom technique that employs an interlocking system, without glueing or stitching, which is easy to repair and adjust.
This design is build up in a similar nature as the irregular foam structure of 1960's furniture by designers like Panton or Colombo, incorporating the benefits of milk foam that insulates the hot beverage beneath it. Therefore, sucking sound like a sponge.
Flowering Moss makes it possible to create various perspectives, types of surfaces beyond the limitations of the classic moss, branching between one sided and double face versions and between a full and partial surface. All the while being easier to maintain than real moss and, due to its materiality, friendly to those with allergies.
Available as wallpanels, wallcovers, ceilingpanels, desk dividers, design screens, lamps, rugs, cushions, upholstery, funiture, baffles, living accessories etc. In various heights, shapes, sizes, patterns, and over 40 colors.
Handmade locally, in a solar-powered working environment, from natural, renewable, fully biodegradable woolfelt (OEKO-TEX®). A material which, with its astounding environmental friendliness mirrors moss's insulating properties and natural ability of breathing in that absorbs and releases moisture from the air – reducing energy wasted by heating and air conditioning. Beyond that wool is a natural absorbent of sound, airborne toxins and formaldehyde as well as an antibacterial agent; naturally flame-retardant, water-repellent and without any harmful substances.
