The Benetti Home green wall takes center stage in the design of Salvatore Cuomo Café in Manila, created by architect Tomaso Piantini of arcHITects and inaugurated in 2019 by chef Salvatore Cuomo inside The Podium.
The company created a striking 5x4-meter Benetti Moss wall featuring 100% natural, stabilized cladonia stellaris lichen. This installation has become a defining element of the venue and the focal point of a green concept that dialogues with the shopping mall’s external vegetal cladding.
Chosen for its strong aesthetic impact, zero maintenance requirements, and resistance to humidity, mold, and insects, essential qualities in Manila’s tropical climate, the Benetti solution has significantly contributed to the project’s identity. In 2022, the project received the BigSee Award in the Interior category.
