Did you say Reindeer Moss?
When we visited Orgatec last month we were introduced to NordGröna, A company developed by two twin brothers,Joris & Sander Oudendijk and their colleague,Oscar Pressfeldt, during their time at Lund University in 2014. You are probably wondering why I mentioned ' Reindeer Moss' in the title. Well, NordGröna put together products by handpicking Reindeer Moss from the forests and mountains in Northern Scandinavia to create inspiring and functional products with Acoustic Values for public and office environments.
The NordGröna products come in a range of sizes, shapes and colours to fit any work or public environments. The different styles you can get these products in are the Convex Square wall panel which comes in 3 different sizes and over 27 different moss colours. This panel retains its colour, is fire-proof, absorbs and releases humidity to remain soft, it is also maintenance free. The second style is the Convex Circle that has the same features as the the Convex square and also comes in 3 sizes and 27 colours. The final styles is the Pixel, this NordGröna product is a high-class sound absorbing wall piece which can be used, if purchased in bulk, to make great wall patterns by using different coloured moss' on each Pixel. The Pixel is one size which 5x5cm and 6cm wide, it also weighs 30g. The Pixel is delivered in sets of 36 to cover an area of 30 x 30 cm.
The colour range of Reindeer Moss' for these products is very wide and varied, there are 27 different shades to choose from including the original moss colour.
The Key Features of the NordGröna Reindeer Moss Products are that they are Natural & Authentic due to only 100% natural Reindeer Moss being used in the product, they are environmentally friendly due to being handpicked carefully to avoid as much harm to nature as possible, the NordGröna products are air purifying due to their constant cycle of absorption and release of ambient moisture within the air, the panels are fire resistant meaning they are not a fire risk if used around lighting and electrical in office spaces, the Reindeer Moss in the products is a natural humidity indicator by drying out when the relatively humidity in an environment drops below 40% and then softens when above 40%, the products are also Hypoallergenic due to the Reindeer Moss' natural qualities meaning it does not contain toxic chemicals or components and the NordGröna products are maintenance-free due to the products not needing any source of garden caring such as sunlight, watering or pruning.
This unusual acoustic solution caters to the need for more natural elements within the workplace whilst providing a very effective acoustic addition to the working environment.
We at Think Furniture love this idea and can only see this type of solution growing in popularity for workplaces ,hospitality or even or public spaces.
