The rectangular preserved lichen frames by I Giardini di Giulia bring nature indoors with an authentic aesthetic and zero maintenance. Each frame is made with preserved Nordic lichen, selected for its three-dimensional texture and intense color, capable of transforming any wall into a biophilic design element.
Features of Preserved Lichen Frames
- 100% preserved Nordic lichen, without moss: soft texture and uniform, long-lasting color.
- Available sizes: 40x30 cm, 60x40 cm, 90x60 cm, suitable for any wall format.
- Frames available in black, white, or frameless versions to complement any interior design style.
- Three-dimensional composition with natural bark for a textural effect and depth.
- Ideal for living rooms, offices, reception areas, hotels, and commercial spaces.
Placement and Installation
The rectangular format offers maximum installation flexibility: each frame can be hung vertically to enhance high ceilings and narrow walls, or horizontally to create a wider, panoramic composition. The back is prepared for wall mounting using standard brackets compatible with any type of wall — drywall, masonry, or wood. For multiple-frame compositions, we recommend leaving a distance of 5-10 cm between the frames for a neat, impactful gallery wall effect.
Care and Use
- Place indoors, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- No watering, artificial light, or pruning required: zero maintenance.
- Recommended ambient humidity between 40% and 70% to preserve the lichen's softness.
- Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth or low-pressure compressed air.
- Can be combined in multiple compositions for greater visual impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do preserved lichen frames require water?
No. The preservation process replaces the lichen's natural sap with a plant-based solution that maintains its softness and color over time, without the need for watering.
Where can I hang a preserved lichen frame?
In any indoor setting: living room, bedroom, office, store, or hospitality space. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and environments with humidity below 40%.
Can it be hung both vertically and horizontally?
Yes. The frame is designed to be installed in either orientation. The back is equipped with wall-mounting brackets compatible with masonry, drywall, and wood walls.
How long does a preserved lichen frame last?
Under the right environmental conditions, a preserved lichen frame maintains its color and texture for 5-10 years without any maintenance.
What is the difference between preserved lichen and moss?
Lichen has a more pronounced three-dimensional, branching structure than moss, with a visually richer texture and a more irregular natural appearance. Our frames are made exclusively with preserved Nordic lichen.
