CELLA by Ecoid

www.ecoid.net
CELLA is a project of Yongkyu Kim and Jonghyun Baek. It's a 3d printed cell of different sizes which houses Moss. A "creative product designed to bring urban people closer to nature."

The porosity of the material provides an ideal environment for the proliferation of moss because moss gathers all of its nutrients from the air so doesn’t need soil.

Cella was developed from a green roof research project called “Mosspebble” at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design.

There are two ways to use Cella. The first is with a Soilball (a mixture of vermiculite, pearlite and bed soil) to make grow small plants. The second is obviously with a Mossball (sphagnum + moss).
