Geometric Head Sculpture and Preserved Moss Architecture
This 3D concrete vase with reindeer moss introduces structured mineral geometry topped with soft biological texture. Each vase is cast from solid concrete into a multifaceted human head profile measuring 16 cm (6.3 in) in height and 10 cm (3.9 in) in diameter. The planter cavity is filled with preserved botanical elements, combining reindeer moss (Iceland moss), Provence moss (mood moss), and spherical ball moss (cushion moss or pole moss) that mimic textured hair above the brow line.
The raw, micro-porous concrete provides substantial weight to anchor the arrangement on credenzas, floating shelves, or office desks. An integrated protective felt pad lines the base to prevent scratches on glass, finished hardwood, or stone surfaces. The contrast between angular cast mineral surfaces and dense moss foliage creates a striking architectural accent suitable for modern minimalist interiors.
Preservation Method and Microclimate Guidelines
The botanical filler undergoes a non-toxic preservation process replacing natural cellular sap with a biodegradable glycerin and saline solution. This stabilization halts decay while permanently retaining cellular softness, volume, and natural coloration. The plants do not grow, release pollen, or attract pests, eliminating the need for soil or horticultural upkeep.
Preserved moss requires specific ambient conditions to maintain its texture over an evergreen lifespan of 5 to 7 years. Maintain indoor relative humidity levels between 40% and 60% alongside standard room temperatures from 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F). Never water, mist, or fertilize the moss. Position the sculpture away from direct sunlight exposure and forced-air heating registers to prevent the moss fibers from drying out or hardening.
Technical Specifications and Set Details
Supplied as a set of 2 pieces, these sculptural planters are hand-cast in durable colored concrete. The matte exterior finishes include solid off-white, deep cobalt blue, and charcoal black, highlighting the sharp geometric facets of the nose, jaw, and brow.
