In the summer months, Inuit would build sod houses to live in. The walls were made of sod taken from the ground and traditionally covered with skins and whale ribs for support. This modern "Qammaq" is covered with plywood and tarps.

Sod returns to Armstrong Quad. Please help the grass grow and avoid walking on it for now. #tuttreno

How much oxygen did your furniture produce today? Sod Sofa is rammed earth, sod and soil. It's 100% organic and requires normal watering to keep it fresh and green. You can easily shape and trim it with a weed-eater.

Featured in ReadyMade and Loft magazines, CA Boom Santa Monica, the New York Times and the Pasadena Museum of California Art Design Biennial.

Where I come from, you don't get SOD in a bottle. It comes on a flat-bed truck and gets installed by an army of sweaty, hard-working landscapers. If only I had known of this simpler method of application!
