Makoto Azuma, a flower artist from Japan with Unitika Ltd, created an organic carpet made of Biodegradable Moss planters, at the Tokyo Fiber Sensware exhibition. It really stole the show at the exhibition in the Milan furniture fair. This technology makes use of a container, known as Terramac, meaning “sons of the mother earth”, to grow the moss carpet. The most remarkable feature of this technology is the way in which it blends a plant-derived plastic with a plant (the moss)to create an enhanced sustainable environment. It is amazing to see how moss, which is generally, found growing on walls and the ground, can be put to better use. So, why buy artificial carpets made of not so eco-friendly material, when we can grow them right inside our homes?
