One workshop near Graz. Every piece made by hand, to order — nothing outsourced.
Waldart has a single address: a small workshop in Kalsdorf bei Graz, Austria. There is no production line behind it and nothing is outsourced — every piece is made here, to order, only after you purchase it. About ten business days later it leaves the workbench for your wall.
Every design begins in our studio and is finished on the workbench. Because the moss is set by hand, tuft by tuft, no two pieces ever leave the workshop identical.
From studio to workbench
Five stages, from composition to packing. Images illustrate the materials and process.
Each design begins with a composition: the balance of colour, texture and open space. Natural differences in moss mean the finished surface will vary from the design image.
We work with preserved moss and lichen from European suppliers. The material is selected for its colour, texture and shape before it is arranged into the piece.
The chosen tufts are set onto the panel one by one. The composition grows under the hands of the person making it, following the studio design — and answering the material where it asks to be answered.
The finished panel is fitted by hand into its frame — black or dark wood. On the workbench it receives its edition number: each design is limited to 25 pieces, and the certificate travels in the box.
Each piece travels in a double-wall carton with corner protection and a spacer that keeps the surface untouched. Inside the box: a care card and a small repair kit with spare moss tufts, should your piece ever need attention.
Materials
Preserved moss and lichen offer different textures: branching tufts, low carpets and rounded cushions. Each design brings its own balance of these materials.
Because it is a natural material, every tuft is slightly different. We treat that as the point, not a flaw: the variation is what makes a wall of preserved moss feel alive.
Three moss types, three jobs: Iceland moss for body, ball moss for relief, flat moss as the base.
Soft, dense tufts — the body of most of our designs.
Rounded cushions that give a piece its relief.
A low, carpet-like texture for quieter areas of a composition.
Edition of 25
Numbered at the workbench, with its certificate in the box.
A repair kit in every box
Spare moss tufts included — and the workshop repairs or replaces under the 5-year guarantee.
Natural variation
Moss set by hand is never uniform. No two pieces leave the workshop identical.
