One of the things that The Savage Way is known for is our custom signage Moss Art. Our pieces are highly designed to the client’s desires, all while following brand standards. We pride ourselves on giving our clients a full circle experience, from the brainstorming & design phase to final execution. With our extensive marketing background, we understand those established brand standards and maintaining the brand aesthetic. We love when we get a chance to create signage out of our preserved plants.
There are a multitude of ways to display your branded signage in the office, but using Moss is such a unique experience. It adds greenery to your space in an unexpected and creative way. And the beauty of working with The Savage Way, is that we are able to customize the requested design to fit your interior design intent. Below are several ways that we have created signage out of moss for our clients.
From neon signage on a mixed moss backer to routed & filled letters that are stud mounted to the wall, Moss Art brings an elevated biophilic design element to any space. We are able to translate a traditional logo or even your company mission statement / core values into a stylized Moss Art piece.
Moss Art is definitely a trend we can get behind. There are so many benefits to bringing plants into workspaces. Nature is calming, reduces stress and leads to an overall better experience in an office setting. Our custom signage Moss Art creations are a great alternative to living plants (since Moss Art require zero maintenance!)
Our team is ready when you are to brainstorm all the creative solutions to bring your brand or logo “to life.” Since Moss Art does not require maintenance, it’s truly an ideal alternative in the signage and decorating space. Email us at info@thesavageway.com to start the conversation.

While The Savage Way is primarily focused on our service lines of Clean Graffiti and Moss Art, we also decided a while ago to have some creative fun and open a Moss Art Shop. We wanted to find a way to get some of the creative ideas out of our head and also offer some of our art and merchandise at a more affordable rate for residential clients and new art collectors.
A big part of what we enjoy is getting to infuse our philosophies into everything that we make. We created a few collections that achieve just that!
SEEK THE GOOD COLLECTION
If you’ve been around for a while, you know that “Seek the Good” has been a motto for a longtime. It reminds us that sure, it is always great to stay positive, but for us, it’s a constant reminder that we GET to do this. No matter what is going on with out business… putting out fires, growing pains, decision fatigue, navigating employees, beautiful new projects, etc… We remind ourselves to stop and laugh. WE GET TO DO THIS LIFE.
We work hard and have created something out of nothing. That is no small feat. Building a company is hard, but we are so grateful for the #SeekTheGood mentality.
Items in the Collection:
– Evil Eye Moss Art
– Gen Z Blobs
– Geometric Moss Art
– Pink Seek the Good Hoodie
RICH (Realizing I Create Happiness) COLLECTION
RICH stands for Realizing I Create Happiness. We decided years ago when The Savage Way began, that we would do things our way. We choose to be happy. We choose how we react to situations around us. We decide. And we decided that we are insanely RICH! This sweatshirt is infused with abundant energy and we can’t wait for you to rock it all over town.

We are so proud of every item in here and can’t wait for you all to hang these beauties in your homes. The shop is something that is going to ebb and flow with time.

But just like life, we are going to stay flexible with the next items and only put energy into things that excite us.

PARA CLT is a Charlotte hotspot known for great food, cocktails and gorgeous atmosphere. The owners wanted to bring a different experience to the Queen City and it absolutely gives Miami, New York or Las Vegas vibes. Para is short for ‘imparable’ which means unstoppable and that is what this restaurant is, it’s shaking up the game. They embraced bringing plants and art into their space from local creatives (aka us – The Savage Way) from the onset of their launch. Originally, we created a 12′ w x 8.5′ h gorgeous preserved Fern Wall with the PARA logo centered in gold to set the tone for the dining experience – lush, unexpected, unique. It even garnered a celebrity sighting or two.
The co-owners of PARA are always ones to keep people on their toes and it was time to do something fresh and new for the space. We were elated to be asked again to help bring some natural beauty into PARA. The restaurant group owners asked our team to create a piece that would reflect how we are all feeling about these wild times, and all are proud to showcase it. It’s a preserved reindeer moss piece called: Self Reflection: You are entirely up to you.
More about the piece:
Self Reflection: You are entirely up to you.
Look at yourself. Like truly stop and take a look in the mirror. Are you showing up daily how you want to? Are you doing your best? Are you using your time wisely? Are you taking care of your health? What in your life is holding you back? How can you be more present for others? What relationships can go deeper? These are the questions you need to answer to be able to better your circumstances. And the beautiful reality is that you get to decide.
You get to choose or choose again and again and again until the change that you dreamed of is your reality. You are entirely up to you. And as a collective, if we all look inward to better ourselves, then we can show up for others in such an authentic and beautiful way. This life will just get better and better the more self reflection we do.
Size: 12’ w x 8.5’ h, inset into the main dining wall | Moss: Preserved Reindeer Moss in four colors

We have the honor of being a featured artist in the Mint Museum Uptown! Gordon Holliday (@Roole.co) invited us to be a part of his show, Yasuke: The Hidden Ronin exhibit. Our Moss Art was a perfect addition to this eco-conscious, “art-full” experience. Check out all the details below on how you can view our work IRL.
Side Note: If you’ve been following us online for a long time and have yet to order a piece from us or see any of our work in real life, this is the PERFECT opportunity.

Trust us… Moss Art is meant to be enjoyed in person – the dimension, the lush factor, the connection to nature – it is totally worth seeing!
Art Exhibit: Yasuke: The Hidden Ronin
About the Exhibit: The story of Yasuke is a fascinating story about the first black samurai. In understanding the history of traditional Japanese quilts, images of what Yasuke would wear in today’s modern times, inspired by contemporary fashion elements, were developed. In an effort to incorporate more sustainable methods of creation, donated, reworked, and up-cycled leftover materials were used to create this exhibition. Utilizing the traditional Japanese quilting style of Sashiko and Boro, 10 modern kimonos were created to honor the intersection of African and Japanese cultures through Yasuke.

When we have the chance to create not one but three Moss Art pieces for a company like Lending Tree, you know we are doing a happy dance. Not just because of the work, but because this company sees the value in bringing plants/moss into a workspace. It truly transforms a space.
Moss Art is a perfect way for companies to bring a green, plant element inside without any of the maintenance. Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE plants and know that there is certainly a place for them in the workplace, but our Moss Art is such a great alternative because it requires zero maintenance. None! No water, sunlight or drainage required during buildout. No expensive ongoing maintenance packages. All of our moss is real, it is just preserved. It truly is a thing of wonder.
Now back to that company and this amazing job we’re talking about – Lending Tree! Lending Tree is “an online loan marketplace for various financial borrowing needs including auto loans, small business loans, personal loans, credit cards, and more….Together, these services serve as an ally for consumers who are looking to comparison shop among multiple businesses and professionals who will compete for their business.” (Lendingtree.com) They recently opened their new corporate headquarters in the Historic South End neighborhood of Charlotte, and this space is gorgeous! Their incredible team included Southwood Corporation who handled all of their signage and brought us into the equation.
We were hired to create three custom Moss Art pieces for the space, each unique in their concept and design. The first was the Lending Tree Logo made in preserved reindeer moss. We were able to use a variety of colors to complement the brand colors as well as the interior design.
The second piece was an homage to the Queen City. A 4’ tall CLT with the Lending Tree Leaf also made of preserved reindeer moss. This lichen is great because it offers beautiful coloring as well as sound absorption properties.
The third piece was a 10’ wide x 9’ tall “Breathe” wall made with preserved sheet/flat moss, Mood/pillow moss and reindeer moss. The moss was placed within a structure that Southwood Corporation built. The grandeur of the Moss Art is what stuck with us. It is simple yet so impactful.
Congrats to the Lending Tree team on the new office. And thank you for embracing our fun, custom art as a part of your interior design package. Learn more about our offerings and how we can bring some life into your work environment
