Today, we are introducing you to products that immediately excited us. As the exclusive Mogu partner for southern Germany, we are pleased to give you an insight into the world of this pioneering brand in the field of sustainability. Mogu is committed to developing innovative and sustainable solutions that have a positive impact on our lives while conserving resources.

Especially today, when sustainable office concepts and engagement with the environment are becoming more important every day, Mogu has redefined the boundaries of what is possible. Mogu grows mushroom cultures into the shape of sustainable and beautiful products. You heard me right.

Imagine fungal mycelia growing into a shape and creating products for your office as a binder of natural waste products like cotton or plant residues.

In this article, we would like to introduce you to products that help you create sustainable office concepts.

Overview of Mogu

Mogu comes from Italy. More than eight years of research and development have resulted in products that reconcile design and ecology. With a passion for sustainability, Mogu has developed products based on environmentally friendly materials such as mushroom cultures or natural industrial waste.

Mogu offers solutions for floor coverings, wall coverings and acoustic solutions in office concepts that enable a sustainable approach to office design. These innovative products not only help to protect the environment, but also create a healthy and pleasant working environment that promotes people’s well-being.

Sustainability is deeply rooted in Mogu’s corporate philosophy. The company takes a holistic approach that spans the entire life cycle of their products, from production to recycling. Care is taken to leave the smallest possible ecological footprint and to maintain the highest standards of quality and functionality.

Mogu continuously invests in research and development to drive new innovative products and technologies. The company works closely with experts, scientists and partners to create the best possible solutions for sustainable furnishing concepts.

Technology from Mogu

Mogu’s technology is based on the growth of mycelium. It makes it possible to obtain materials from the vegetative stage of fungi. By closely monitoring the growth, Mogu has acquired the ability to optimize everything to such an extent that it can be used in various areas of interior design. The fungal mycelium serves as reinforcement for the matrix structure of the products, resulting in a 100% plastic-free and coherent material composite. This innovative approach allows Mogu to inertise the products at the end of the production process through slow drying and reduce energy consumption. The result is absolutely stable, safe and durable products that have the added benefit of being biodegradable.

With this technology, Mogu has succeeded in turning biomass into a valuable piece of interior design. The fungal mycelium naturally feeds organically and allows acoustic absorbers, for example, to grow naturally. The result is products that could hardly be closer to nature and provide excellent services in terms of design and reducing sustainability.

The following video shows the production process in more detail:

Products from Mogu

Mogu offers a wide range of solutions for interior design, using only microorganisms that are harmless to humans and the environment. Only technique-free, non-allergenic fungal strains are used, which do not release any spores during the entire production process. All materials are also tested free of allergens and VOC emissions. They even offer better protection than many other materials such as wood that we find in an office.

These products reflect Mogu’s innovative technology and commitment to sustainability and are part of the company’s vision to create a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.

Acoustic solutions

Mogu offers innovative acoustic panels in various colors and shapes that promote a pleasant working environment. By using mushroom mycelium in combination with recycled fabric scraps, the sound is effectively absorbed and muffled. Mogu’s acoustic solutions help to reduce noise levels in offices and create a quiet and concentrated working atmosphere. And they look great too.

Here, for example, you see the Foresta system, inspired by a walk in the woods, natural components should be combined. By simply attaching the mycelium panels to the wooden construction, the German Design Award Winner 2022 promises maximum flexibility in design.

Wall panels

Mogu’s wall panels are also made from mycelium and agro-industrial residues, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional wall cladding. Mogu’s wall elements are easy to install, durable and biodegradable, making them an ideal solution for environmentally friendly office design.

The Pluma wall panels impress with their nature-inspired designs.

Flooring

The floor elements in the form of resilient tiles or rolls set new standards for sustainable flooring. A stable mycelium-based core in combination with high-performance bio-based coatings ensures robust, durable and impact sound-absorbing elements. The natural and visible pigments used from, for example, corn, rice straw or coffee grounds also give the elements a unique and eye-catching appearance.

Mogu’s Flex range are flexible floors made from 67% bio-based materials. Digital cutting technology allows them to be customized to individual needs. It is even possible to create a continuous design from floor to wall, including skirting boards.
