Studio

Handmade in Porto.

mossence is made by our team in Alfena, just outside Porto. Every piece is cut, placed and finished by hand, by people who have worked with preserved moss for years.

Our team has been making moss pictures and moss walls since 2018, for many years also for styleGREEN. Today we work under our own brand: mossence. mossence is an independent brand and is not affiliated with styleGREEN or its owner.
