The Savage Way has been creating custom Moss Art for almost a decade now. We create everything from 70′ long moss walls in a corporate lobby to a small moss logo in a coffee shop. No matter the size, the fusion of art and nature is something that fuels us as artists. There is something magical about the beautiful dance of color, texture, and use of nature to enhance a space. This “thing” actually has an industry term called Biophilic Design.
By definition, Biophilic Design blends someone’s innate attraction to nature and living things into architecture and interior design. Many modern workspaces seek to integrate biophilic design strategies and the nature-forward approach into their design plans for a variety of reasons; improving employees’ quality of life, meeting sustainability goals and increasing productivity and creativity. Check out this article in House Beautiful to read more on Biophilic Design.
We have the pleasure of installing these calming elements into tons of workspaces in North Carolina and beyond. Below are some examples of green preserved plant walls in action. Take note of how seeing the lush greenery makes you feel when even looking at a photo… now imagine opening your computer and getting work done while next to a natural element like moss. #Dreamy.

Terraces at Park Place showcases beautiful, organic Moss Art in their newly redesigned space. And in our opinion, this is how you elevate a corporate lobby!
The Savage Way was brought in to design a Moss Art installation that would cover the expansive, white lobby. We worked with the team at Collett Capital, owners of the property, to bring biophilic design into the space. We landed on these wavy, flowing lines in various shades of green to bring life to the space. Using preserved reindeer moss, we were able to create a calming, welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in the door.
Terraces at Park Place is a plaza owned and operated by Collett Capital. Collett Capital is a real estate private equity firm with over $700+ million in assets under management. The firm is focused on acquiring and developing well-located, income producing real estate assets with durable cash flows and upside potential. Learn more here. In this particular building, there is 73,000+ square feet of space with tenants like OrthoCarolina, Starbucks, Sabor Latin Street Grill, Sherwin Williams, Firehouse Subs, TLC Wings, Sprint, Pizza Hut, and more.
We love when companies decide to use green walls in their space. Biophilic design, or someone’s innate attraction to nature and living things, blends perfectly into architecture and interior design. Many modern workspaces seek to integrate biophilic design strategies into their design plans for a variety of reasons; improving employees’ quality of life, meeting sustainability goals and increasing productivity. Research has shown that humans prefer a natural environment over built, especially in a post-COVID world. By having Moss Art in a workspace, employers are promoting overall well-being.
We love the scale of this project with Collett Capital and are honored to be included in the design.

These beautiful Geode Moss Frames have found a home at the office of Global Support & Development (GSD). We love how this idea translated across 75 sqft of space in their new Charlotte, NC location.
We worked with GSD from idea inception to installation and the process was seamless. As you can see below, our installation team worked hard to hang these huge beauties in their break room area. Our Project Manager, Kimmy, is seen next to the frames for a size reference!
Each Moss Art frame is created in a custom 5’ x 5’ painted wood frame with gorgeous preserved reindeer moss. We took the concept of a geode crystal and turned it into art. Not only are geode’s gorgeous and but we love to surround ourselves with their energy. They are symbols of creativity and the birthing of new ideas. It’s been said that keeping a geode in your workspace can facilitate inspiration and increase creative thinking. These three Geode Moss Frames are leaving a huge impact on this office space. We are so grateful to share our eco-friendly plant art with companies making an impact.
GSD is a humanitarian organization whose mission is to rapidly respond to disasters in collaboration with at-risk communities & support them to prepare for the future. In a nutshell – they are doing powerful community work. You can learn more about them on their website.
If you love the look of this art, we have smaller residential sized pieces available in our shop. Check out our Geode Moss Circles and Geode Frame.

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.

The Vue Uptown Apartments, a Northwood Ravin property, recently hired us to create this beautiful green wall on the 50th Floor bar of their luxury high rise in Charlotte, NC. This full moss panel brought a natural softness to the bar area. It’s pretty awesome to be able to design and bring to life a green wall from start to finish.
This Moss Art was a true labor of love. The existing wall was all white tile and we had to design an inset moss panel, which is always a challenge. However, The Vue team and our crew of artists were able to bring this vision to life. It’s about 16.5′ w x 3.75′ h with a custom branded logo through the center. It was created using two different types of preserved moss; Mood Moss and Sheet Moss. And yes, preserved means that the plants are no longer living (aka preserved), so no maintenance is required!
This is such a great example of how bringing in elements of Biophilic Design can completely change how a space feels. While gorgeous, the original bar was slightly sterile and cold. Once we were able to bring in these plants, the energy of the space became warmer and more connected to nature. You find yourself wanting to spend more time in the space. It’s pretty magical that our Moss Art can bring so many amazing elements to the table.
Love this video from The Vue Uptown Apartments 50th Floor Bar where you can see the entire room. Really brings it all together.
The Conspiracy Moss Art
This is the second piece that we have created at this Northwood Ravin property. We created a 5′ metal banded Mixed Moss piece for The Conspiracy, their speakeasy on the ground level of the high rise. This is a bar open to the public, so be sure to swing by and check out the art.
