About Moss Stempel

Moss ass e Stempel, deen entwéckelt gouf fir Mouss op Buedem ze planzen, dee vu Bëschbränn beschiedegt gouf. De Stempel enthält 150 Milliliter Mouss a funktionéiert mat engem Inkubatiounsraum, deen Mouss-Sporen an Nährstofflësung injizéiert an déi passend Wuesstumsbedingunge bitt. D'Ausgangsöffnung vum Stempel huet eng spiralfërmeg Form, déi der Aart wéi sech Mouss um Buedem verbreet, nogeet. D'Längt gëtt mat engem Knäppchen op der Uewersäit ugepasst, an eng Statusliicht weist déi verbleiwend Quantitéit un. Wanderer a Fräiwëlleger kënnen e Stempel aus dem Inkubatiounsraum huelen an de Mouss op de Buedem drécken, fir d'Erhuelung vum Bësch z'ënnerstëtzen.

Unique Properties: Maximum lifespan with Minimal actions
The goal of the project ‘MOSS’ is to restore
forests that have been devastated by forest fires.
The product for restoration consists of a stamp that
can plant moss and a Incubation room that can cultivate moss.
Participants(volunteers, hikers) in this project can contribute to creating a sustainable world just by stamping moss.
Dimensions & Packaging: Stamp(Closed) : 55 x 55 x 264(mm)
Stamp(Maximum Open) : 55 x 55 x 753(mm)
Moss capacity inside the stamp : 150ml
Incubation room : 940 x 940 x 1780(mm)

Production Technology: Moss has the property of preventing desertification by trapping fog and dew and retaining moisture in the soil. As a medium for tree root growth, it accelerates the recovery of forests destroyed by forest fires. The outlet of the stamp is a spiral design rather than a circle, reflecting the nature of moss to expand its territory. Incubation room is equipped with a system that injects moss spores and nutrient solutions into stamp and provides an optimal environment for moss to grow.
Design Challenge: In planning the project, it was difficult in the process of completing a structure that discharges moss rather than liquid completely.
We solved that problem by examining different types of moss and studying their molecular structures.
Research: This project proposes a solution to restore damaged mountains through an intuitive moss stamp and incubation room. People are put into the forest fire restoration project ‘MOSS’, directly creating a healthy mountain. We believe that ‘MOSS’ can also save countless lands damaged by rapid industrialization. By participating in the project, people can feel the seriousness of environmental pollution, see the earth changing due to their actions, and realize the importance of a sustainable world.
Inspiration: Forest fires have a larger damage area than any other disaster, so it takes a lot of time to recover.
We conducted research on how to quickly restore the devastated nature, and finally selected moss as a key material.
In addition, in the process of distributing moss on damaged mountains, we tried to suggest a way for humans to directly restore nature.
Taking a motif from the behavior of mountain climbers, we would like to suggest a method of stamping moss on the ground.
Project Duration: The project started in Seoul in March 2022 and was completed in Seoul in January 2023.
Operation Flow: After finding a nearby Moss incubation room, the user selects a stamp to take through the screen in the Incubation room. Then, Take the selected stamp out of the Incubation room.
After adjusting the length by pressing the button on the top of the stamp, stamp the moss.
You can check the current amount of moss with the indicator light at the top of the 'Moss Stamp'.
Finally, the mountain that turned into a wasteland changes into an environment where life can live.
