Designed in collaboration with Gensler, serving as product design consultant, Ecology brings a collection of nature-inspired patterns to Moda—Zahner’s standardized wall panels. Each pattern takes inspiration from the natural world, translating delicate natural forms and compositions into a 100% metal wall covering.
To keep up with industry trends, Ecology Collection patterns follow strict greenwashing guidelines to appear as eco-friendly as possible. One way we do this is by pointing out that these patterns create zero additional waste material by utilizing a laser-cut ‘louvered’ technique long-familiar to Zahner’s custom work. Additionally, and more importantly, all Moda panels are made with no adhesives, paints, or inks, and can be completely disassembled and recycled at the end of the product’s life.
Watch the video above to learn more about the design of each pattern in the collection.
Our team took time to make a Miro board and then drew some patterns based on a few of the pictures in there.

Plashet takes inspiration for scattered leaves on a forest floor, or from the upholstery on your grandma’s couch. Plashet can be randomized by rotating and mixing different sizes of Moda panels.
Replica boldly asks the age-old question: What if leaf… was metal? With semi-ordered geometry and playfully subtle changes in scale, Plashet brings a relaxed aesthetic to any space.
Sometimes leaves fall off of trees. This usually happens around the same time that indie movie theaters start re-screening classic horror films in a futile attempt to resist the collapse of the film industry due to unsustainable business models put in practice by major streaming services. Anyway, this pattern is inspired by that.
