TerraLiving

TerraLiving 180+ years of terrarium's heritage, redefined for modern living spaces through biomorphism & science.

What you are about to see is the culmination of excellence over years of hard work, coffee, and very little sleep. We are bridging our strong background in life science, art, and technology. Our love for all things beauty and our passion for perfecting our botanical collection & sculptures will be a great addition to your life. We are a team of scientists, designers, and nature lovers who would li

ke to share our passion and work. We observed simple, tiny yet abundant natural living plants, especially mosses, alongside other natural elements ranging from natural bio-architecture such as leaf arrangements to molecular-level phenomena such as protein folding structures. We are incredibly obsessed with the way mosses survive through hundreds of millions of years and waves of mass extinction. We aim to deliver one of the most remarkable survivors of evolution to connect with your life. Our ever-expanding knowledge of what we do allows us to design our very own glass sculpture to host our botanical art. We also work with organic designs through 3D printing to deliver one-of-a-kind artwork that you cannot find elsewhere.

First launched in early 2024, our “Time Capsules” define an entire category of ZERO Moss terrarium with a large fan base, standing proudly alongside our Vertex II collection.

Most of what we do isn’t really visible in photos.

A single Vertex II has at least five materials. 3D printed structures, geometric glass, rubber-silicone cushioning, moss, organic (eg. oak bark) or inorganic (eg. rocks & miniature sculptures). Each one has a different surface.

We think about tactility in two ways. The first is visual. Our rock elements catch light differently at every angle. Moss look different depending on light directions. Some limited-edition bodies come with ridged textures that shift depending on where you stand. You experience those with your eyes.

The second is physical. The grain on the base. The rubber-silicone seams & cushions where our glass maker’s hands shaped each joint during curing. The edges where glass meets the printed body. These only register when you hold the piece.

We spend time on both. We also keep testing new materials and forms. The search for the right texture drives most of what we do in the lab.

The people who own our work know the difference the moment they pick it up.

P.S. We even study the sound when the glass comes in contact with the base, and the sound it makes when the whole piece touches a table, and of course, center of gravity and weight distribution.

She’s looking for things you’d never see.

A faint dryness at the leaf edge. Anything that shouldn’t be there. The first thread of growth that doesn’t belong, the kind of detail that left alone for a week can quietly affect a whole exhibit from the inside.

This is Leah. MSc in Plant Pathology, BSc(Hons) in Industrial Biotechnology. Inside TerraLiving she handles every export we send out: the pest screening, the phytosanitary clearance, the dense paperwork that lets a preserved moss piece cross international borders cleanly. She is our plant pathologist on the team.

You won’t meet her if you visit the gallery. Most of her work lives online and behind the scenes, away from the showroom floor.

She’s not on export duty here, either. She’s checking one of our live moss exhibits. We keep live specimens alongside the preserved work because moss as a living thing teaches us things moss as a finished art piece cannot.

Two worlds. One trained profession.

While working on bespoke designs with our collectors, we design and propose the glass before planting anything. This is part of the experience.

Here, what you’re looking at is a study of crystal shapes. Usually, geometrical glass form comes from a single question: what if the glass looked like it grew from something instead of being built? The reference is geological. (There is an organic form category but that will come later in other projects)

Minerals form through internal rules that create external shapes. Think of quartz emerging from rock or tourmaline pushing through at an angle. The form leans. This is intentional by nature.

Tilting the largest face toward the viewer makes the vessel feel more like a window into a another world. If it were upright and square, it would appear as our usual “Pillar of Moss”. The front panel separates along one of the crystal’s natural faces, so the opening follows the shape instead of cutting across it.

Swipe through, and you’ll see the same vessel from different positions. It looks different from each angle. Some views make it appear tall and narrow. Turn it, and suddenly it seems wider and more grounded. It offers a larger variety of viewing experience. There’s no moss yet. That will come later. The vessel is the first design choice, and we don’t rush this process (sometimes it took too long 😅)
