Moss walls: The newest trend in green interiors
Moss walls are the latest trend in green interiors
Incorporating moss for a holistic décor
A thousand years ago, the Zen Buddhist monks of Japan delighted in the cool tranquility of the moss that grew in their temple gardens. They cultivated them on stones and walls, creating the sensation of expansiveness, freedom from clutter and daily distraction. For them, moss was an essential element: a symbol of harmony, age, and tradition that facilitated meditation.
In modern cities, where air pollution and artificial surfaces intrude upon us, mosses and lichens persist in the forgotten spaces between our daily frenzies — on roof tiles and between pavers, in sidewalk cracks, and along concrete walls. Lichens thrive in the leftover places of the world, too harsh for other creatures: frozen Arctic tundra, scorching dry deserts, rocky shorelines, poisoned slag heaps, and within solid rock. Lichens can voyage into space, become exposed to massive doses of ultraviolet and cosmic radiation, and return to Earth as happy as the day they left.
In short, if the conditions go bad, moss doesn’t wither away, but rather simply remains dormant until conditions are restored and they can thrive again.
Joe Zazzera and Pat Mahan are the owners of Plant Solutions and masterminds behind the exciting new creation of the latest trend in interior living designs.
Contemplating landscapes is a path to enlightenment, a break from constant mental chatter, a quiet escape from busy practical concerns.
After 25 years together in the interior plantscape and design business, they have developed custom vertical moss wall designs that are at the forefront of all moss wall art. The two entrepreneurs are known for custom designing each moss art piece to fit the client’s desires as well as making the space it will reside feel unique.
