Objects, like plants, can take on new life when seen with fresh eyes.🌿 An industrial drawer turned elegant planter.

We recently found this rustic wooden drawer, likely once part of a Danish industrial factory cabinet πŸ›  from the early 20th century.
Objects, like plants, can take on new life when seen with fresh eyes.🌿 An industrial drawer turned elegant planter. We recently found this rustic wooden drawer, likely once part of a Danish industrial factory cabinet πŸ›  from the early 20th century. Its dark knot of wood caught our eye—an imperfection transformed into a mark of beauty. Paired here with a pink-leafed coleus we picked up in Berlin—left on the sidewalk with a handwritten sign that read “to give away”—the two together remind us how much worth lies in the overlooked and discarded. Like the process of bringing a book into the world, πŸ“• building a collection relies on patience, attentiveness, and care. Alongside our seasonal collections, Spring Moon Design πŸŒ™ curates the Everyday Collection 🌲: artifacts and objects from near and far, each with a story to tell. ✨ Spring Moon Design launches October 7. Subscribe to Field Notes πŸ¦†πŸŒΎ for behind-the-scenes stories and first looks at the Everyday Collection. #springmoondesign #everydaycollection #vintagedesign #objectstories #slowinteriors #wabisabi

Proofs! ✨ After more than three years of research, writing, studying moss🦠, and collaborating with some incredible artists to celebrate it, holding these nearly-final pages in my hands feels momentous! Before a book goes to print, every page gets a last careful look. I leaned on my editor husband’s expert eye to refine it and catch missing quotation marks or errant punctuation. (Note how on this page the missing quotes look like smiley faces = ).) Moss survives through intricate networks, and this book, too, has grown through the care and contributions of so many helping hands. 🌿 πŸ’š 🌿 Nervous and excited to see the final books next week! πŸŒ™ Spring Moon Design's debut publication, Moss: A Love Story.πŸ’š #springmoondesign #mossalovestory #fieldnotesnewsletter #artistsbook

Moss Vibrations πŸŒΏπŸ–€ Ink on paper, traced from the shadows moss cast on my kitchen table. Not drawings of moss, but reverberations — outlines, essences, afterimages. These silhouettes appear in _Moss: A Love Story_ 🦠 alongside “Hypnum No. 2,” an original composition by Brian Ledwidge — a Dublin-born composer I first worked alongside at a music-and-film school in Berlin. Together, sound and image try to catch the pulse of something small yet infinite. Tonight’s _Field Notes_🌾🐚 newsletter will share a first glimpse into the book — a limited edition of 20 copies, years in the making. πŸŒ™ Subscribe via link in bio if you’d like to be among the first to see. #springmoondesign #mossalovestory #fieldnotesnewsletter #artbook

🌿 Textures in conversation: wool and moss, pattern and forest floor. Details from a moss-inspired scarf—created by a Kraków-based artist with a background in theatre design, using locally sourced wool. Its intricate textures seem to echo the lichen-dotted stones and mossy slopes of mountain paths. Its shifting colors remind us of the forest floor after the rain. Part of our soon-to-launch Moss Collection 🦠, where artists and artisans reimagine nature’s smallest marvels into singular works. Spring Moon Design πŸŒ™ launches October 7th. #springmoondesign #mosscollection #mossalovestory #objectstories

🧑 A thermos that became a vase—carrying with it memories of persimmons in Korea, and friends in Stockholm... While visiting friends in Sweden, we stumbled upon this 1960s orange-and-black thermos. Though we’re not fans of plastic, we believe beautiful objects deserve a second life—like this one, now reimagined as a vase 🌸. Its bright hue reminds us of ripe persimmons and half-moon rice cakes at Chunseok — the Korean harvest festival. Alongside our seasonal collections (like our soon-to-come Moss Collection 🦠), Spring Moon Design πŸŒ™ also curates an evergreen Everyday Collection 🌲: artifacts and artworks from near and far, each with a story to tell. βœ‰οΈ Want more?
