Exploiting the unique spatial qualities of the conserved buildings, the courtyard at the ground floor is cleverly used by B&B Italia to display its outdoor furniture to full advantage. A glassed overhead light-well and a 45 m2 (6.6m high and 6.9m wide) Elmich VGM Green Wall backdrop gives the courtyard an outdoor feel though situate in the confines of the showroom.

Elmich’s modular VGM Green Wall system was used to install the living wall which provides the green backdrop that creates the ambiance to showcase and bring out the luxurious outdoor furniture. The living wall can also be viewed from the windows of the 2nd level of the showroom, making it and the courtyard a showcase in every sense.
