The piece
A quiet ascent, where green whispers harmonize.
Ascent I invites you on a journey of natural tranquility. Each moss gradation, from deep fir to pale grass-green, draws the eye upward, evoking the subtle rise of morning light over a forest canopy. Whether a statement piece or a quiet whisper, its presence instills a serene atmosphere. The natural hues offer a grounding focal point in any space, bringing a tactile sense of nature that feels both timeless and intimate.
Crafted to order in the Waldart atelier, Graz, Austria, Ascent I is composed of preserved Iceland mosses in deep fir-green, medium-green, and pale grass-green shades. Each piece is framed in either black or dark wood, made with skilled hands and meticulous attention to detail.
No water, no light, no maintenance needed. Keep out of direct sun and sustained high humidity.

Siblings from the same palette and hand — made to hang together as a pair or set.

Every Waldart palette starts outdoors: which greens sit next to each other, where light catches, how much empty space a surface needs. The first two images are nature studies for this design family; the others are photographs from our walks. The panels themselves are made from preserved moss.
Tinder fungi climb a dead beech trunk, one bracket above the next. Each level is its own shape, together they make height visible. Ascent turns changes of green into the same kind of climb.
A turkey tail fungus seen from above: ring after ring, each a little lighter or darker than the last, all leading toward one centre, like contour lines on a map.
Only the tips catch the light. That is why the brightest green appears sparingly, as an accent rather than a surface.
Moss never stops in a straight line. Colour fields fray into each other, and we let them.
Water makes the spaces between stones visible. Empty space is part of the composition, not what is left over.
