The new Pianeta Verde collection seamlessly integrates natural elements into design products, maintaining the durability and vibrancy of the plants. This partnership fosters the evolution of their products, leading to increasingly sophisticated and personalized solutions. The versatility of MOSS opens up endless creative possibilities, allowing for unique and personalised projects that incorporate natural elements without the need for extensive plant maintenance.
