Dome Fixture Featuring Preserved Ball Moss Interior

The pendant light with ball moss incorporates a matte black powder-coated metal shell lined with three-dimensional cushions of preserved ball moss (Cushion Moss or Pole Moss). Designed for installation over dining tables, kitchen islands, or commercial surfaces, this overhead luminaire directs downward illumination while highlighting the textural contours of the preserved botanical interior.

Measuring 36 cm (14.2 in) in diameter and 25 cm (9.8 in) in vertical height, the hemisphere profile delivers balanced spatial proportions. A central socket positions the lamp at the core of the botanical canopy, ensuring wide beam dispersion across tabletop surfaces.

Thermal management is essential for preserving organic compounds. Standard incandescent and halogen bulbs generate high radiant heat that dries the glycerin-preserved plant cells. Using cool-running LED bulbs eliminates thermal stress, preserving the pliability and coloration of the interior moss.

Environmental Performance and Care Guidelines

The organic filler consists of real forest moss treated through an ecological preservation process. Plant fluids are replaced with a biodegradable mineral and glycerin solution, permanently suspending biological activity. It requires no water, pruning, or pest management.

Light source selection: Use exclusively low-temperature LED bulbs to avoid moisture loss in the moss.
Humidity limits: Maintain indoor ambient relative humidity between 40% and 70% to preserve natural softness.
Placement restrictions: Install strictly indoors away from direct outdoor UV radiation and forced-air heating registers.
Surface cleaning: Wipe down the external black dome with a dry microfiber cloth, and clear occasional dust from the moss using low-pressure compressed air.

In addition to visual contrast, the irregular convex surface of the moss interior dampens high-frequency ambient reverberation in open-plan rooms containing hard surfaces like concrete, tile, and glass.
