AF Audit™ // Greenmood

Unleash the Audit.

We put Greenmood through the Material AF Audit Engine™ and dropped the results on the AF Five Scorecard™.

This one’s a vibe. It’s calm, natural, and quietly confident. A sensory collision of cork, moss, and preserved foliage designed to reconnect people with nature. Greenmood’s biophilic acoustic solutions bring the forest to the office and the soul back to design.

But while the materials whisper serenity, the brand experience whispers a bit too softly. The potential is massive though and the execution just needs to be as bold as the idea.

Let’s break it down.

The AF Five Scale™

The new standard for material brand experiences. It’s not about budget. It’s about impact. From flatline to unforgettable, here’s how the scale stacks up:

• MIA → Missing in Action

No signal. No spark. Brand’s gone dark.

• AF1  → Busted

Flatline. Zero vibe. Bust it down and rebuild it right.

• AF2 → Needs Work

Spark’s hiding under beige. Tighten it up and bring the heat.

• AF3 → Decent

Solid bones, clean cut, but too safe to remember.

• AF4 → High Impact

Confident. Polished. Loud enough to turn heads.

• AF5 → Elite

Unforgettable. Iconic. The material experience everyone’s still talking

about.

Final Verdict.

Nature preserved. Sound absorbed. Story muted.

Greenmood’s material experience delivers on touch, scent, and natural beauty. You can feel the craft and care in every cork tray and preserved leaf. Their mission to “Reconnect with Nature Through Design” comes through loud and clear in the product itself.

Yet, the outer layers of the experience... the packaging, collateral, and storytelling don’t echo that same intention. A beige shipper, minimal branding, and missing emotional cues make a powerful brand feel shy when it should radiate calm confidence.

This is the paradox of Greenmood: a brand that has mastered silence, but hasn’t yet found its voice.

⭐️ BONUS AF

Natural Craft. Cork trays, preserved moss,

and layered plant compositions are

hand-made perfection. Every piece

radiates care and texture... the kind of

biophilic beauty that designers crave.

What Worked.

• Biophilic Brilliance

  Using 100% natural, preserved mosses, lichens and plants, Greenmood proves that quiet can be captivating. Real plants, preserved through ecological processes, offering the life of nature without the maintenance.

• Tactile Emotion

  From soft-touch box wraps to organic materials and earthy fragrances, the brand is built to be touched and felt... a rare kind of multisensory storytelling.

• Certified Performance

  These aren’t just pretty plants. The materials are certified for acoustic absorption. Proof that sustainability, serenity, and science can coexist beautifully.

• Human-Centered Vision

  Every detail ties back to a higher goal: creating healthier, calmer spaces where people can thrive. That’s authentic, emotional, and real.

Next Moves.

• Let Nature Speak Louder

  The beige shipper and minimal branding undersell a stunning product. Elevate the outer layer and let the unboxing reflect the interior magic.

• Build the Biophilic Narrative

  You’ve got the story: sustainability, sound absorption, well-being. Now weave it through every label, brochure, and touchpoint.

• Eliminate the Noise (and the Debris)

  Refine packaging to minimize plant dust and residue. Precision is part of the beauty.

• Go Digital. Go Emotional

  Add QR codes or AR moments that take users deeper... from physical samples to immersive storytelling about the plants, the process, and the people behind them.

Audit Over. Game On.
