Green Again

June 27, 2012

Julie introduced me and I think some of you to living green walls in her post here.  There are some people good at spotting something cool before it becomes a trend and Julie is one of those people.  Now I'm seeing a big interest in incorporating green walls in interior design.
After her post I went to Malaga and took this photo below (posted about here) of a wall at a restaurant in the port. 
 
Ever since, I have become aware of any design that incorporates greenery.  Like this!  Isn't this stunning! Nature as art.
Then I learned about this:
evergreen panels composed of living lichen.  So basically, a base of fiberboard is covered with a 2-inch thick layer of reindeer moss which draws all the materials it needs to live from the air.  So it helps regulate humidity and the best part- it also promotes high quality accoustics- HELLO media room!....or any room....!

A company called Freund does this type of evergreen paneling.  I'm sure if you are handy and green-thumby you could figure out a way to do it yourself.
