Moss; biophyllic design

Utilising Moss for decorative wall panels adds texture and create a natural cocoon into any work or communal space. Moss walls bring a natural visual impact and lowers energy costs. Areas around the moss walls are cooler in the summer months, and the winter, provide a layer of insulation within indoor areas.

The moss used to decorate the walls are all sustainably grown and preserved using natural glycerine and non-toxic food dyes. Moss walls reduce carbon dioxide levels, absorbing CO2 within indoor and urban settings.

Evidence shows the positive relationship between productivity and the presence of nature in offices. Moss brings in improved air quality - absorbing pollutants in the rain and air which are then converted by the moss into biomass.

Texas A&M University examined correlations between plants and productivity in the workplace. They found that participants demonstrated more innovative thinking and solved more problems whilst working in a space that featured plants.

Another study performed by Dr. Virginia Lohr of Washington State University found that participants working in spaces with plants were 12% less stressed than participants working at workstations without plants.

Excellent for interior design projects where communal living and working is essential.
