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.

Moss Art for Home | Interior Design
For years we have been asked to open up an online shop with some smaller, custom art for the home. Well, in December 2021 we FINALLY got it together and launched the The Savage Way Online Shop. Our Moss Art pieces make beautiful additions to any space and are maintenance-free! That’s right – no water or sunlight required! Everything is made from real moss that has been preserved! We are excited to offer this home line for anyone to easily order straight to your door. Check out a breakdown of all the products below.
FERN CIRCLE
One of our most popular Moss Art pieces is The Savage Way Moss Circle, it comes with a variety of different elements including sheet moss, mood moss and ferns. Add it to different spaces, like a kitchen, living room, office space, or even in a bedroom, to create a calm vibe. As shown below, the Fern Circle adds a perfect pop of greenery to brighten up any room.
MOOD MOSS BOWL
Our Moss Bowls just keep on selling out! These are a fan favorite which makes sense, I mean look at them! Our Moss Bowls bring the perfect amount of nature to any room without any maintenance! The bowl is a weathered, rustic style of wood. Each bowl is unique, so the texture and sizing can vary slightly. We are in the process of offering multiple sizes – Stay tuned here for updates.
CLT MOSS ART
We are a local Charlotte, NC based business and we wanted to create a piece that was close to home. This CLT Moss Art piece is the perfect gift for any Charlottean to add to their home or office space! It comes in two different colors, Chartreuse (lighter) and Basil (darker). It is the most affordable item on the website and makes a great gift whether it is for a friend, spouse or family member! Like our other products, this is made from preserved moss that requires zero maintenance.
HAMSA MOSS ART
Lastly, we have the Hamsa Hand which is known as the Universal Sign of Protection. It is known to bring fortune and fertility, as well protection against the evil eye. If it is hung with fingers pointing downward it is to let more goodness, luck, fertility and abundance into your life. Hanging with fingers pointing upward signifies protection against negative energy. Our Hamsa Hand comes in two different colors: green and royal.
We also have a variety of one-of-a-kind pieces on the site including Homer, this Rainbow Box, a Lion and a sticker pack! We constantly are testing new ideas in the studio and we update the site whenever a new item is for sale. And like we tell all of our clients, if you don’t see something that you like, hit us up!

If you live in Charlotte, NC, then you’ve certainly seen the hot new restaurant with the jungle vibes making its way around the internet by now. This is Para and we had the honor of creating some really special moments of interior design with our Moss Art. One of the owners is Chet Desai and he has been a client and friend of The Savage Way for years now. When we first started this company (and when we were still doing social media and marketing work) we helped him open Stache House & Lounge in Southend. Well things have come full circle as we were able to help him on his latest restaurant venture, Para.
We created two standout green wall moments for this contemporary, modern style restaurant and bar. The desire was to feel like you were walking into a lush and luxurious establishment like you would in Miami or NYC – but right here in the Queen City. Para will deliver a globally influenced menu built from fresh, high-quality ingredients – a little something for everyone.
Now for the Green Walls…The Moss Art
The first is this 12’w x 8.5’h gorgeous fern, foliage and moss wall that showcases the Para logo in gold painted letters. Green walls made of moss and other preserved plants are ideal for clients who want the look and feel of a plant wall but do not want to be concerned with maintaining it or killing the plants. All of the plants that you see have gone through an extensive preservation process so there is no need for water, drainage, sunlight or a costly maintenance package. We love how this piece acts as a center piece for the restaurant.
The second moss installation we created was a green wall for the bar fronts on the opposite side of the building. In total it is over 90 sqft of coverage. Using sheet moss, mood moss and reindeer moss, all preserved, we created this dimensional, textural, plant look to help tie into the lux feel of the entire place.
We also created this custom Mood Moss channel that lives behind the banquette seating. Just another little nod to the beauty of nature and the care and effort that went into every nook and cranny of Para.
We are always honored to have repeat customers and to have a client that trusts us to help bring a vision on paper into real life. Cheers to grand openings (officially open 1/19/22), cheers to using mother nature in interior design and cheers to friends bringing their dreams to life.

We had the pleasure of creating four Moss Art Walls for Bank of America Corporate Center in Uptown Charlotte. Each wall incorporated three shades of preserved reindeer moss, creating a unique green element in this corporate office setting.
The collaboration for these maintenance-free plant walls came from Little Diversified Architectural Consulting, an international architecture and design firm, as well as a talented team of millworkers at Onsite Woodwork Corporation. The four moss art walls had to be able to uniquely stand on their own and at the same time create a cohesive look across the Bank of America floor. We are obsessed with how these dimensional walls turned out.

This Moss Art is called “The Park” and it requires no-maintenance.
The fourth Moss Art Wall for BofA is called Courtyard.
The use of biophilic design in the office setting not only is aesthetically pleasing, but it brings a calm element to workers. Biophilic Design is a concept used within the building industry to increase occupant connectivity to the natural environment through the use of direct nature, indirect nature, and space and place conditions. Our Moss Art is the perfect way to bring this concept to life. The beauty of our work is that it brings that natural element inside without all of the hassle. Our moss requires no water source, no sunlight and no expensive ongoing maintenance. Just hang it and enjoy!
These four Moss Art Walls, named The Plaza, Greenway, Park and Courtyard, had some varying levels of moss to showcase dimension in the design. Our green plant walls were part of a larger renovation for the Bank of America Corporate Executive Suite. This work can be found in Charlotte, NC.

One thing we really appreciate about the Sightline team is their attention to excellence. From their website, “We believe a project’s success is taking every detail into consideration before the product is approved for fabrication. Smooth installations and finishes are not a product of luck and should not be decided on site, a smooth install requires proper planning and coordination.” We can get behind that kind of commitment!
Our custom Moss Art signs are made with so much care and love and that allows us to stay motivated to keep creating. And when we see our clients happy it truly is one of the best feelings. We are excited to keep following the Sightline journey.
