Green idea for home: live moss tiles MOSStile
Today, "living" walls with vertical landscapinghave become, perhaps, one of the most favorite ways for designers to decorate the exterior or interior of a house. And this is not surprising at all, modern trends in fashion are increasingly based on ecological design, and people have increasingly begun to return to the origins of nature.
Italian design studio Benetti StonePhilosophy has taken the idea of greening the home even further by developing a series of "living" tiles MOSStile made from unpretentious varieties of moss (lichen). A wall laid out of such tiles requires almost no special care after installation. The plants do not need to be watered, fertilized or trimmed; for their lush growth, it is enough to maintain the air humidity in the room at least 50%.
Moss tiles should not be exposed to direct sunlight.light, which gives owners of shaded apartments or windowless rooms a great opportunity to revive and green the walls. Walls covered with green plants not only look original and impressive, but also create a favorable microclimate in the room, regardless of the type of room they are installed in. In hot summer, living walls contribute to natural air cooling, and in winter - to heat conservation. In addition, plant walls have excellent soundproofing properties.
The base of the Mosstile tile is made ofresins without the use of chemical fertilizers or toxic materials, which makes such wall coverings truly environmentally friendly and safe. You can choose living tiles from 12 different colors.
Plant tiles can be installed onvertical, horizontal or inclined surfaces, cover the entire wall surface or individual fragments with them - the pattern depends only on the designer's imagination or interior design. The standard size of one tile is 29.8 cm by 29.8 cm.
