1. What is preserved lichen and why is it so popular in the restaurant industry?

Preserved lichen is one of the most interesting and innovative solutions in the world of green interior design, especially for the restaurant and hospitality sectors. It's a natural lichen that, through an eco-friendly preservation process, is treated to maintain its appearance and softness over time, without the need for water, light, or care. Unlike real plants, lichen doesn't grow, doesn't wilt, and requires no maintenance. This makes it the ideal choice for bars, restaurants, and venues that want to integrate natural elements into their spaces but don't have the means (or time) to manage them. Its visual impact is immediate: it conveys a sense of authenticity, freshness, and care, adding a distinctive touch to a wide range of spaces.

2. Atmosphere, well-being and comfort: the real advantages

Using preserved lichen in your space means investing in the atmosphere, and atmosphere is everything in the hospitality industry. Studies show that a welcoming and well-designed environment directly impacts guest satisfaction, length of stay, and, last but not least, spending habits. Preserved moss , with its soft texture and vibrant green color, creates a calming, almost woodsy effect that conveys serenity and relaxation. Furthermore, lichen has an important sound-absorbing effect: it can significantly reduce acoustic reverberation, making the environment more pleasant, even from a sound perspective. This is particularly useful in restaurants with large seating capacity or busy bars, where noise is often a concern. Incorporating green moss elements therefore helps create a more refined and memorable multisensory experience.

3. How to use preserved lichen in bars and restaurants

The application possibilities for preserved lichen in restaurants and bars are wide and creative. The most dramatic solution is undoubtedly a vertical wall or wall panel, used to decorate an entrance wall, the back of the bar, or a relaxation area. But it doesn't end there: lichen can be integrated into custom furnishings (such as tables, chairs, or lamps), or used to create three-dimensional company logos, frames, lettering, or decorative graphic details. It's also perfect for elegantly dividing spaces: consider green dividers between tables or lounge areas. Thanks to its versatility, it adapts to any style, from minimal to rustic, from modern to Scandinavian. Mosshouse projects are born with this very approach: creating customized solutions , consistent with the visual identity of the venue and the experience it aims to offer.

4. Zero maintenance, maximum impact

One of the main advantages of preserved lichen for indoor spaces is its virtually maintenance-free nature. It doesn't require watering, pruning, or exposure to light: it stays intact for years, maintaining its natural beauty as long as it maintains moderate environmental conditions (no direct sunlight or excessive humidity). This makes it perfect for restaurants and bars where there isn't always staff available to maintain the greenery. Furthermore, unlike real plants, lichen doesn't attract insects and doesn't make a mess. This translates into more hygienic and tidy spaces, a highly appreciated quality in a food service environment. The balance between aesthetic impact and practical maintenance is among the best on the natural design market. A modest investment with an immediate and long-lasting return.

5. Why choose preserved greenery for your premises

Incorporating preserved greenery into restaurants today is no longer just an aesthetic choice, but a true branding tool. A venue that invests in natural elements communicates attention, care, sustainability, and innovation. The preserved lichen bar , for example, is perfect for creating a strong and recognizable visual identity, ideal for standing out in an increasingly competitive market. Customers notice details and choose places where they feel good: offering a visually stimulating, comfortable, and welcoming environment helps build loyalty and keep them coming back. Mosshouse supports businesses on this journey, designing green solutions that combine design, functionality, and sustainability. Because greenery, when well integrated, is more than just decoration: it's an experience.
