This past year has kept many of us indoors and Benetti Homes wants to help bring greenery to our indoor spaces. The Italian studio uses 100% natural and stabilized lichen moss to create fully customizable indoor wall oases. These unique living fixtures are completely self-sufficient and maintenance-free.
The lichen walls are made with a moss called Cladonia Stellaris, native to Northern European forests, which never attracts dust or bugs. Naturally cream-colored, the moss is available in 12 different colors.
To amplify the oasis experience, an upgraded version of the vertical garden features an aluminum panel that supports the moss and is capable of producing sound through engineering technology. The panels connect to an exterior amplifier controlled by the user through the Benetti Homes app.
