Floating Greenery: A Moss Ceiling as a Design Feature
As part of a private living room renovation, the goal was not only to refresh the space but to give it a completely new character through a strong natural element. The vision was a green ceiling surface that radiates calm and acts as a striking design statement. We were pleased to bring this idea to life using our natural materials, creating a custom-made moss ceiling precisely adapted to the architectural conditions.
For the existing ceiling recess, we produced perfectly fitting elements using our preserved bun moss. These now form the heart of the room and introduce a tangible forest-like atmosphere into the home. The green feels fresh and vibrant, yet remains entirely maintenance-free. This project clearly demonstrates how high-quality natural materials can transform a living space and give it a distinctive, lasting identity.
From vision to reality
Crafted to measure in our atelier
To realise the client’s vision with precision, selecting the right materials was essential. After an initial exchange, the client visited our showroom to experience the effect of different moss types and colours first-hand. The choice fell on our bun moss in meadow green, which impressed with its fresh appearance and distinctive texture.
Precision down to the last detail
The implementation then took place in our Swiss atelier. Across a total surface of approximately 135 × 235 cm, our florists arranged the preserved moss spheres by hand on 12 mm MDF panels. Each element was produced with the utmost precision to fit seamlessly into the existing ceiling recess, like a perfectly tailored puzzle piece.
A floating effect created by light and moss
The finished result captivates with its harmonious integration of all components. The moss surfaces fill the ceiling niche and are highlighted by indirect LED lighting. The interplay between light and the three-dimensional structure of the moss creates an impressive sense of depth, making the greenery appear to float above the room.
Beyond its striking aesthetics, the ceiling also offers functional benefits. The soft moss spheres act as natural sound absorbers and noticeably improve the acoustics of the living room. The result is a space that is not only visually impressive, but also conveys a sense of calm and well-being.
