13. MOSS WORKS SA and their striking installations made from preserved moss

Find a fresh alternative to wallpaper or vertical planting with these fully customisable preserved moss walls, which add a touch of colour and whimsy to any space.

Horticulture major Kevin Brown founded Earthlings, an indoor plant company, in 2001 and has since gone on to establish a division called Moss Works SA. Moss Works creates moss installations, made from preserved moss imported from Europe, which are fully customisable in shape and colour. They can be installed anywhere indoors and are ideal for both homes and corporate spaces. Plus, you’re able to place one of these installations virtually anywhere from ceilings to pillars to walls – the options are as wide as your imagination.

Boasting both tactile and visual appeal, Moss Works installations offer an alternative to planted “living walls” or wallpaper, enhancing spaces and adding to their ambience without the need for major maintenance efforts. With offices in Johannesburg and Stellenbosch, Kevin and his team are able to install their preserved moss walls across South Africa. Contact him at kevin@earthlings.co.za.
