Living marimo, designed to bring calm into your space.
A marimo is a small, living algae
that grows slowly in fresh water,
just a few millimeters per year.
In cold, clear lakes,
it moves gently with the currents,
shaping itself over time —
quietly, without rushing.
In Japan, marimos are cherished
as symbols of love and connection,
living companions passed down
through generations.
Calmarimo was born in Zurich from a personal search for something slower, something real — and a simple belief: that slowing down is a form of care.
A small way to reconnect —
with nature,
with presence,
with time.
Each piece is an invitation
to care for something living,
to slow down,
and to hold onto a quiet moment.
A living marimo,
presented in a minimal
glass piece.
A simple composition —
water, glass, and natural elements —
bringing it closer to where
it comes from.
Designed to fit naturally
into your space —
quiet, simple, and alive.
Three small rituals. Nothing more.
Change the water every one to two weeks. Tap water works — just let it sit for a day first.
Indirect sunlight is perfect. Avoid direct sun — marimo prefer the calm shade.
Roll your marimo gently now and then to keep its round shape. Talk to it if you like.
A quiet presence to accompany your everyday life.
Something to care for, to return to, to slow down with.
A subtle, living detail that brings calm into a space.
Something guests notice, ask about, and connect with.
A small, living presence that softens the environment.
A quiet reminder of care — bringing a more human feeling into work.
