Organoid®’s spectacular surfacing designs are as exceptional and naturally beautiful as the company’s locale in the heart of the Tyrolean Alps.
Company founders, Christoph Egger and Martin Jehart, were united by their shared drive to create something meaningful and sustainable for the common good. They began to experiment with organic shapes in a barn, with the help of Alexandra Jehart & Marco Unterlercher, and in 2010, after several years of product development, Organoid® natural surfaces came to fruition.
Organoid®’s designs have multiple applications, whether it be as a decorative element in sustainable furniture making, or indeed as wallpaper, on glass or for lighting elements.
Since its founding years, Organoid® has gone from strength to strength. From moving into its headquarters in Fließ Nesselgarten in the heart of the Alps and partaking in exhibitions on the international stage, to the launch of a semi-automatic production line with rolled goods, the company is determinedly finding its feet.
Today, the company has a new CEO team – Christoph Egger & Florian Föger – and an expanded portfolio and reach, but it has stayed true to its founding principles of sustainable and authentic surfacing that enriches wellbeing.
As you’d expect from a company that works so symbiotically with natural materials, Organoid® demonstrates the utmost regard for the environmental impact of its operation. The company is rightly proud to call itself “climate-neutral”, utilising 100% green energy in its plant and actively avoiding or reducing CO2 emissions wherever possible.
In cases where emissions are unavoidable, Organoid® offsets them by supporting a climate protection project.
Strict criteria are applied when selecting the raw materials for its products, with a focus on regional, rapidly renewable and upcycled materials. From upcycled moss and hand-cut hay, to a beautiful array of delphinium, lavender, marigolds and cornflowers, Organoid®’s designs are not simply aesthetically pleasing and sustainably produced, but create a sensory experience for the end user.
Materials such as the Alpine hay and flower petals are sourced from farmers in Organoid®’s close vicinity. In this way, the company is active and demonstrative in the way it supports local farmers and works to create value in the region.
Organoid®’s portfolio gives these natural materials a new lease of life, with the added reuse of food waste such as peppermint and spelt. Any leftover material is donated to local social institutions or kindergartens.
Organoid®’s new collection for 2024 brings all these elements together to create inspiring sensory experiences inspired by the boundless abundance of nature. The collection draws upon themed natural worlds, from “Forest Bathing”, to an “Alpine Paradise”. These worlds are explored in more detail within the striking 2024 collection book, produced in high-quality linen and full of inspiration and technical detail.
Four new, masterful creations made from the finest natural materials have been unveiled within the new collection:
ZIRBENWALD
This surface evokes the effects of the Austrian stone pine forests, incorporating real Austrian stone pine, fern, moss and needles. These ancient trees only grow in certain Alpine regions and altitudes in the purest, clearest mountain air. Its fragrance is thought to have an extraordinary effect on our body and mind, bringing inner peace, balance and a restful night’s sleep.
MOOS GRAU
A Nordic-inspired forest experience, thanks to the elegant light grey surface with mystical upcycled moss. The moisture-regulating properties of the moss create a feeling of freshness.
CARPE DIEM
Carpe Diem is designed to capture the scent of the Mediterranean, bringing Summer, sun and pure relaxation, thanks to its delightful blend of olive leaves, Greek mountain tea, magnificent cosmea flowers, delphinium, lavender, marigolds and cornflowers on natural flax fleece.
WILDSPITZE GOLD
Wildspitze Gold is a design of contrast – the rustic charm of genuine, hand-cut hay from the Tyrolean Alps meeting glamorous gold paper. The elegant contrast of golden shimmer and hay is reminiscent of delightful, warm summer evenings in the Alps.
There are many companies with mightily impressive sustainability policies, but those such as Organoid®, who live and breathe the natural world, harnessing its beauty while respecting and safeguarding it from beginning to end, are far and few between.
