Scenographic impact and a feeling of well-being: the presence of “green” in the interiors has positive effects at home, in the office, in commercial spaces, in food and hospitality premises.
BENETTI HOME, a young and dynamic Italian company, has developed a product with unique characteristics: BENETTI MOSS is the name of the zero-maintenance vertical garden for interiors made with a 100% natural and stabilized lichen.
It is easy to manage, starting from installation, which is very simple and can be foreseen in the project step or even later: featuring highest versatility of application, the garden can be placed on the walls and even on the ceiling.
Born 15 years ago with the use of cladonia stellaris, a moss collected in the woods of Northern Europe, BENETTI MOSS offers advantages from the point of view of cleaning, thanks to the absence of electrostatic charge that does not attract dust, ensuring stability and durability over time, as well as being unwelcome to insects.
In addition, this panel features good sound-absorbing qualities and fire-retardant properties certified in class A by the rigorous American fireproof tests.
Stivens Benetti, owner of the company based in Novara, explains:
“Our point of strength is our great design skill and a quick response approach in offering a timely and quality service, combined with a list of references difficult to mach, that allows us to count on customers like Amazon, Facebook, Google, Adidas, Yves Rocher. In Milan, just to name a few, we realized green walls for Mustela, in Verano Brianza for Media World. We are able to carry out extremely interesting projects not only in Italy, indeed mainly abroad and in particular in the United States, in collaboration with world renowned architectural studios such as Gensler or Perkins Will.”
By choosing BENETTI MOSS vertical gardens, customers will rely on shapes and sizes capable to be adapted to any space requirement and designer’s vision, to create customized walls based on chromatic games as well as the combination of full and empty spaces, dimensions and volumes; also, it allows to realize logos on neutral backgrounds, or vertical and horizontal stripes or decorative motifs in all shades of colours, as creativity is the only limit.
On the basic colour (cream) of the lichen when it is collected, food and totally non-toxic dyes can be added, choosing from a range of 12 colours in the catalog, even if green in its various shades still remains the prevailing colour.
Among BENETTI HOME’s latest proposals, there is BATIK MOSAIC, a new product presented in early 2020 and currently being launched: it is a very light and very thin resin mosaic on which real photographic images can be digitally printed, in any size, glossy or matt. It can be placed in any kind of environment, outdoor or indoor, suitable for wellness and spa areas, as it is resistant to humidity. It can also be applied over an existing wall, without requiring brickwork.
Another proposal is BENETTI SOUND, an aluminum panel like that one supporting the MOSS and capable of producing sound: the result is a collection of panels with an exciter connected to an external amplifier from which the user can control the output sound in a simple and direct way, through its personal devices.
With BENETTI HOME solutions, the vertical garden is much more than a garden. And giving up indoor greenery will be truly impossible.
