Handcrafted Geometric Face Design in Cast Concrete
This concrete 3D vase with preserved reindeer moss introduces architectural texture to interior surfaces. Cast from dense mineral concrete, each vessel features sharp polygonal facets forming a stylized human head. The heavy material anchors firmly onto desks, sideboards, and floating shelves, preventing accidental tipping. Individual castings display subtle variations in tone, surface pores, and micro-textures characteristic of authentic cement craftsmanship.
The geometric contours create shifting shadows throughout the day as room lighting changes. Finished in industrial charcoal, brick red, or speckled granite tones, the planter contrasts sharply with the soft, organic form of the crowning greenery. Each piece includes a protective felt underlay on the bottom surface to guard against scuffs and scratches on polished stone or wood surfaces.
Preserved Reindeer Moss Qualities and Lifespan
The top of each sculpture is filled with genuine reindeer moss (Iceland moss) treated with a mineral salt solution. This preservation process halts cellular degradation while locking in the natural volume, pliability, and color of the lichen. Because the plant matter is fully preserved rather than living, it requires no soil, no watering, and no drainage holes. It retains its texture and appearance for 5 to 7 years in typical indoor environments.
Preserved foliage thrives when kept away from excessive dampness and direct thermal sources. A moderate relative humidity range of 40% to 60% maintains optimal suppleness. If the ambient air becomes exceptionally dry, the lichen temporarily hardens, softening again naturally once relative humidity returns to normal levels. No trimming, misting, or plant food is needed.

Care Guidelines and Placement
- Light requirements: Position in shaded or indirectly lit areas; avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent premature pigment fading.
- Moisture contact: Keep completely dry, as liquid water dissolves the internal preservation salts.
- Heat sources: Maintain clearance from radiators, fireplaces, and forced-air vents.
- Cleaning method: Clear occasional surface dust gently using a soft makeup brush or a low-pressure hair dryer on a cool setting.
