A gentle production process allows the surface to retain most of their natural properties, such as their fragrance, feel, optics, and allow a multi-sensorial experience.

Note – product can vary within batch lots.

Organoid prefer to use natural and authentic raw materials that are usually not processed in conventional manufacturing. Attention is also given to the impact of transportation, favouring the shortest transfer distances in our region for sourcing materials.

The natural materials are visually appealing from the face surfaces and go through to the backing materials made from flax and FSC certified papers.

The intensity of the scent depends heavily on the temperature, humidity, and air exchange rate at the place of use as well as your personal sense of smell (habituation effect). Over time, this fragrance intensity decreases continuously. In the case of rose blossoms and vanilla, for example, a decrease in fragrance above the perception limit is only to be expected after a period of several years. Particularly with strongly scenting surfaces, it must be considered that the scent intensity can be reduced by an additional sealing or painting of the surface.

In fact many of the designs in the collection allow some degree of lighting throughout if applied to back-lit surfaces. Depending on the thickness of the surface material and different backings there can be various levels of light penetrates across the range.

To obtain increased protection against moisture or abrasion, most natural surfaces with a high density of raw materials can usually be varnished, oiled, waxed, impregnated, or even used under glass. If sealing is required, we recommend the Adler lacquers “Lignovit Terra” and “Aqua Resist” – but experience has shown that conventional acrylic and PU lacquers also achieve good results. In any case, preliminary testing is recommended with the respective coating agent on edge or remnant pieces.

Note: Some raw materials contain natural oils or fats that make it difficult or impossible to apply a coating.

MOUS: In the case of natural surfaces with moss, temporary changes in the surface may occur under certain climatic conditions. Due to physical processes, small salt crystals can form on the surface at a relative humidity below 40%. These crystals are of natural origin and are not hazardous to health. Moreover, they can simply be removed carefully with a damp cloth.

We recommend against the use of varnishes or oils to seal the natural surfaces of MOUS HELLGRIAN. Embracing their natural state allows them to thrive and maintain their unique beauty.

Even in its compressed state, the natural moss largely retains its property of storing room humidity and slowly releasing it back into its environment. This has a positive effect on the indoor climate. The feel of the moss can change due to changing room humidity: With increased room humidity, the surface appears softer and more supple; with low room humidity, it appears harder and more brittle. This is the natural behaviour of moss.

We advise against sealing the natural surfaces of MOUS HELLGRIAN and MOUS DUNKLGRIAN with varnishes or oils.

On Natural Flax Fleece non-woven or Self-Adhesive film, bending radii of only a few millimetres are possible. It is recommended to assess an individual test.

Note: Organoid natural surface is required to acclimatise pre installation over a 24-hour period.
