MaterialRidgeThese hand formed materials with sculpted patterns depict certain earth forms. They are a mixture of acrylic and plaster. The materials are handmade in-house and installed on-site.
MaterialDropletThese hand carved designs are cast in an acrylic modified plaster of various dimensions for custom wall surfaces. They are inspirated by nature and geometric forms. All materials are handmade in-house and installed on-site.
MaterialMoss & Lam FinishesMoss and Lam works closely with interior designers and architects as fabricators and installers of commissioned artwork, or simply as creative consultants for interior spaces. They fabricate and install their commissioned pieces but can operate as project supervisors or installers for custom made finishes.
MaterialMoss concreteRespyre's moss concrete is a revolutionary material, designed to foster urban greening and sustainability. This concrete solution emphasises environmental friendliness, biodiversity, and urban aesthetic enhancement.
MaterialPreserved Pillow and Flat mossAfter harvesting, the moss is carefully dried, preserved, and coloured using eco-friendly methods in Moswand.eu's own production facilities. This makes it permanently soft, elastic, dirt-repellent, and fire-retardant, while ensuring it is no longer living. Treated using an immersion technique, the preservation process penetrates the entire moss structure rather than just the surface, guaranteeing an exceptionally long lifespan.
MaterialCopper MossThe Copper Moss project was created through the study of the diffusion of copper by electricity on a resin containing graphite. Through this process, the copper particles settle on the graphite, forming structures similar to moss. These structures, so similar to the plant world, cause a possible similarity of processes in animate and inanimate nature.
MaterialOrganoid® MOOS MIXThe Organoid® MOOS MIX features upcycled light and dark green moss with moisture-regulating properties, enhancing interior climate and well-being. The natural flax backing is temperature-regulating and noise-cancelling, supporting a healthy indoor environment. Available in various backings, it brings a forest-like look to interior spaces with a fresh, natural effect.
MaterialReMoss©A sustainable solution for crafting beautiful moss designs. ReMoss is made from leftover materials of preserved reindeer moss that would otherwise go to waste. This reuse provides an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution for wall cladding. ReMoss is odourless, does not crumble, and retains its natural colour for a long time.
MaterialEvergreenMoss walls are increasingly popular because they are acoustic, cooling and increase a healthy indoor green environment. A moss interior wall as an indoor garden doesn’t require natural light, in fact it doesn’t like direct sunlight, doesn’t need watering, fertilizing, or pruning. The moss wall is fast and easy to install. It is available in green or apple green, or even white, orange, pink, red, blue and black.
MaterialBio-receptive 3D printed ceramicsThis material merges traditional craftsmanship with advanced technology, using natural, recyclable clay and living moss to create sustainable, functional, and visually captivating surfaces. The process begins with 3D printing, powered by parametric design, which enables the creation of intricate, customized geometries that would be impossible to produce through traditional methods.
Material3D Printed Urban Ceramics 4D TileThe 4D Tile is an innovative 3D printed ceramic tile conceived as a 4D building element, designed to interact over time with water, climate, and living nature. Measuring 8x8 cm and crafted in durable stoneware ceramic, its sculptural geometry is engineered to capture rain and retain ambient moisture, creating ideal conditions for local moss to thrive.
MaterialLava tilesOccasionally the hot running lava of Iceland is solidified into a big smooth surface reminiscent of a grand cathedral floor. Tinna Gunnardóttir likes to grasp this wild material and force it into geometrical shapes, which can then be used as a paving material. The lava tiles quickly get colonised by moss and other vegetation. The lava tiles have the size 40x40x2 cm and are made of Icelandic lava.

MaterialClimaLifeClimaLife are concrete roof tiles that clean the air, using titanium dioxide. Using light, surfaces coated in this material neutralise harmful particles such as NOx and particulate matter. 100 m2 of surface with titanium dioxide has the same air cleaning effect as 6 adult broad-leaved trees! The surface is very hydrophobic, antibacterial, and prevents algal growth.
MaterialHT coating for ceramic tilesThe HT coating for ceramic tiles is based on the photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide as a catalyst, which effects a reaction between light, oxy-gen and air humidity. The coating is baked onto the glaze at high temperature in-plant.
MaterialPotato corkPotato Cork is completely bio-based as it is made from a vegetable residue: potato peelings. The peelings are hygienised and, depending on the application, pressed and dried. The main ingredients are lignin, cellulose, hemicelluloses and protein. Potato Cork has a low specific gravity, is fire resistant, isolating and water repellent, and has a high tensile strength.
MaterialClassic-Panels Classic-StoneThe Classic-Stone panels are made out of more than sixteen types of mineral and chemical charges (stone, marble, silica, silicates, etc.) and polyurethane. This results in very realistic reproductions, yet significantly lightweight panels. The product is non porous, insulating, sustainable and resistant to all kinds of conditions.
MaterialClassic-Panels Classic-LightThe Classic-Light panels consist of a layer of 1 to 4 mm crushed marble stone with a layer of high density injected polyurethane. This results in very realistic reproductions, yet lightweight panels. The product, with a UV-resistant top layer, is non porous, insulating, sustainable and resistant to all kinds of conditions.
MaterialSmile PlasticsSmile Plastics is a premium collection of recycled sheet materials from Smile Materials, crafted entirely from 100% plastic waste, including PET bottles, chopping boards, and packaging materials. Fully recyclable, water-resistant, and easy to work with, each panel has a unique design, making every sheet completely one-of-a-kind.
MaterialEssential TextureThe HPL trend collection of essentials texture characterise themselves by the particular structures. These structures creates an appreciation for the irradiation of the product and the application. The plates are suitable for numerous interiors and applications: castes, walls, counters etc. There are several structures and colours. The collection contains 17 décors which are directly form stock deliverable.
MaterialAbacáAbacÁ is a dimensional decorative surface made of recycled banana fibers. The residues from banana harvesting are transformed into a high-pressure laminate with a total organic look. To yield a random, non-directional design and texture, the fibers are sprinkled over an array of background colors.
MaterialTwinsonBy the mixture of wood(50%) and PVC(50%), Twinson combines tradition and innovation, uniting the natural appearance and warm feel of wood and the durability and low maintenance of PVC.
MaterialLupine fibreboardLupine fibreboards are produced from Alaska Lupine (Lupinus nootkatensis). Although almost the entire plant can be utilised for fibreboard production, the samples in this project were made from the aerial growth of the plant. The fibreboards are 100% biodegradable without requiring controlled conditions, such as heat, for decomposition.
