About Us

Who we are

Waldart is a small workshop near Graz, Austria. We make wall pieces from real preserved moss and lichen, arranged by hand and framed in black or dark wood. Natural differences in the material give each piece its own surface.

Why Waldart

The rooms we spend our days in shape how we feel. A Waldart piece brings a quiet presence of the forest indoors: preserved moss keeps its colour and softness for years without water, light or care. It rewards a closer look and asks nothing in return.

Where it grows

Nature, with a different rhythm

Real moss and lichen, preserved for indoor spaces. Their branching textures and natural relief become part of a composition you can live with, without watering.

  • Real moss and lichen, not plastic — every tuft grew outdoors.
  • Preserved, not living: no watering or growing light.
  • Arranged by hand near Graz, with natural variation in every piece.

How a piece is made

Made to order, one stage at a time

The design, material and frame come together by hand. Production takes approximately 10 business days; delivery time is additional. Images illustrate the materials and process.

  1. A black frame corner and backing board

    Frame & backing

    Your chosen size and frame define the space for the composition.

  2. Sorting preserved moss by type and shade
    02

    Selection

    The moss for your piece is sorted by type and shade; only even, intact tufts make it into the trays.

  3. A preserved lichen tuft held by hand
    03

    Setting

    Every tuft is placed by hand — the slow part, and the reason no two pieces are identical.

  4. Checking the set surface tuft by tuft

    Quality check

    Checked against the design, then numbered at the bench. Collection pieces ship with their certificate.

  5. A carton and corner protection prepared for packing

    Delivery

    Double-wall carton, corner protection, care card and a small repair kit — then 1–5 days in transit.
