At my firm, David Baker + Partners, we’ve really been getting into green roofs. Green roofs are basically grassy pads of moss and other plants that sit on your roof to help keep the heat in in the winter and cool in in the summer. This bath mat brings a bit of the green roof inside and puts it under your feet. I love it mainly because I love the feel of moss on my feet, but having one of these mats would seem to also save you time and money… and energy because you never have to clean it. I’d like to smell one of these things after a year’s time.

Love the idea, but wouldn’t you actually end up with moss debris on the bottom of your feet?

Unless you scuff your feet on it, healthy moss won’t shed much. It doesn’t need much more than water to stay healthy. Neat idea!

Don’t use rolling stones as the foundation…you know what they say about those…of course, if YOU gather the moss, perhaps it’s a moot point.

Nguyen La Chanh,
I would like to know if you are really planing to sell this, and how much of an investment would you need to get started.
Contact me via e-mail and we can get in touch there.
Thank you for your time,
Miles Hoffman

I think it’s just a prototype.
