Ever wondered what your ground cover would look like as wall covering? Wanted to create a maintenance-free green lung in your home?
Well, MOSStile from Italy’s Benetti Stone Philosophy is just that: a vertical, no-gardening-required touch of nature indoors.
And it’s now available on our shores. MOSStile – which comes in 12 natural colours, from “Green Pepper” or “Wasabi” green to “Paprika” or “Vanilla” – can be installed on any kind of wall surface and can be combined with myriad other tiles and wall coverings for a multi-textured, lavish visual effect.
The tiles are made by placing a stabilised block of lichen over an ecologically sound resin base, and the good news is that they don’t require irrigation, fertilising or pruning and can be placed in rooms without natural light.
Available from The Modern Home Company in Cape Town.
