NATURAL MATERIALS
B I O M O N T A G E® Our Reindeer Moss grows abundantly in vast Scandinavian forests and is harvested by hand in a way that ensures perfect renewal of the plant. The moss is preserved naturally and is 100% biodegradable and is also fire retardant. Reindeer moss is a very efficient acoustic modulator, making it a perfect biophilic design element in public places and offices.
Lime Green Reindeer Moss
Prairie Brown Light Stone
Our Light Stone panels are made from a combination of natural stone and resin, which is lighter and more manageable than raw stone. These naturally attractive panels come in two finishes which complement any interior: Prairie Brown and Mountain Grey.
Medium Green Reindeer Moss
Forest Green Reindeer Moss
Our sustainable Yellow Poplar tree bark comes from the Appalachian Hardwood Region of the U.S. The poplar wood is used for furniture production but the bark has limited practical uses. BioMontage® helps prevent the bark from becoming waste. Our bark also has excellent acoustic properties.
Harvested sustainably by hand in the forests of France, and preserved naturally, our Vivid Green Pole Moss presents a three dimensional, natural texture in a distinctive, long lasting color.
Mountain Grey Light Stone
Sustainable Poplar Bark
When the Coconut tree can no longer produce its famous fruit, the tree is harvested and used in building construction and furniture production. The “Coco Bark,” has very few uses and is often discarded. We hand-craft the small pieces into beautiful natural panels that fit perfectly into our BioMontage® system. Vivid Green Pole Moss
Upcycled Coconut Tree Bark
Harvested in a natural, sustainable way in the forests of Turkey and preserved naturally, Long Moss is an elegant, cost-competitive alternative to Flat Moss. Long Moss holds its deep green color very effectively in virtually any interior environment.
Deep Green Long Moss
The Mangium Tree is used primarily in furniture production. Branches are periodically cut from the tree and could easily become waste. We slice and trim the branches into small tiles, then combine the tiles to create a stunning natural mosaic which is an exciting new addition to the BioMontage® range.

Upcycled Mangium Tree Branches-Leaf Burst Pattern Instead of making square tiles from the branches, with this design we allow the sliced branches to retain their natural round shape, then we trim off pieces and fit them together to form the shape of a leaf. We then arrange the individual leaves to create a stunning burst pattern that is nothing less than a natural masterpiece!
Natural Green Pole Moss Just like our Vivid Green Pole moss, this new natural green color is harvested and preserved according to strict sustainability standards. When viewing Natural Green Pole Moss, one is drawn emotionally into the deep forests from whence it came. Biophilia is experienced at the highest level with this stunning new moss.
Upcycled Tugbak Tree Branches The Tugbak tree is harvested sustainably for use in the construction industry. The branches are not useful and can sometimes become waste, but now we have found a beautiful alternative for them. The branches are sliced into narrow circles and allowed to dry, then the circular pieces are attached in a pattern onto flat panels. The result is a natural piece of art that provides an extraordinary biophilic experience to all who view it.
