Why Biophilic Design and Preserved Moss Walls Don’t Work

What is Biophilic Design and Why It Doesn’t Work

Biophilic design is the idea that bringing certain elements of nature into your space creates a sense of relief. In 1984, Harvard renowned Edward O. Wilson researched biophilic design. He researched if stress and anxiety in people were reduced when visions of nature were brought into their space. Since then, several psychologists have conducted the research.

However, Moss Pure has found a gap with biophilic design. There is not much scientific data that confirms that biophilic design works. Biophilic design only includes the visual sight of nature and only improves your wellbeing by 15%. This isn’t significant. Some companies mention that painting a room green is a biophilic design aspect. Or that adding wood to decor in a space is another aspect. Or that even adding a plant or two to your space. These elements are claimed to help improve your wellbeing. However, this isn’t true and there isn’t clear scientific testing to prove it. Biophilic design just doesn’t work from a scientific viewpoint.

The alternative to biophilic design – Moss Pure®

Biophilic design doesn’t work from a scientific perspective. So, we created the patented Moss Pure® Method for stress and anxiety relief. Using science and design, Moss Pure provides you with therapeutic relief from stress by going above and beyond biophilic design. Moss Pure combines proprietary and patented science and interior design techniques to engage not only your vision, but your other senses such as touch and smell to increase the effects of biophilic design and reduce your stress and anxiety levels.

Preliminary testing shows that the patented Moss Pure® Method reduces stress and anxiety by 84.6% and increases productivity by 72.2%.

How the Moss Pure® Method Provides You With Therapeutic Relief

VISION:

• Most moss companies use preserved moss that is no longer living. Moss Pure uses actual live, real moss in your direct space
• We use proprietary 3D design elements and naturally occurring materials such as reclaimed wood, which makes it feel like you’re in an indoor, modern forest
• Our products are lightweight and mobile to move with you throughout your space, providing a relaxing, zen environment wherever you are

TOUCH:

• Most moss wall companies use screens or a barrier from the moss. It was critical for Moss Pure’s design to be open to allow your direct interaction with the live moss in our products, therefore providing therapeutic relief
• You can’t touch preserved moss walls. The dyes from preserved moss will rub onto your fingers and the preserved moss falls apart easily from being processed with chemicals.

SMELL:

• Moss Pure’s live moss smells like fresh nature, a park, and fresh cut grass. The refreshing smell creates a zen and calming environment in your space.
• In contrast, preserved moss gives off a strong chemical odor. Some preserved moss wall companies may say the preserved moss smell is “earthy” but it not. The smell can be irritating and comes from the preserved chemicals used to treat preserved moss. Real, living moss shouldn’t have a chemical smell. If it does, there’s something wrong – either it’s not moss or it’s not real or living.
