Description

‘Paramoss’ is a parametric clay room divider designed to optimise the indoor climate. The product was digitally designed using Grasshopper visual programming software and Rhino 7 application. Thanks to its parametric adaptability, this room divider can be adapted to different application situations and design preferences. The resulting shape of the clay components is produced using the Liquid Deposition Modelling (LDM) printing process. It is worth noting that the plant components for the subsequent greening of the object are added to the base material prior to the printing process, so that the subsequent printing is homogeneous with the plant components and the base material. The use of common white moss can promote aspects of well-being indoors. Pollutants, fine dust, noise pollution and room temperatures can be reduced by using the moss.
