And the Wakeup finish, created exclusively by Molteni Vernici staff, proved to be the true and undisputed protagonist of the great design evening, enjoying immense success among the public.
With the aim of awakening consciences on the issues of environmental sustainability and eco-friendly design, Molteni Vernici gives life to Wakeup, a special finish for indoor media made from waste from the coffee industry that helps the environment by drastically reducing CO2 emissions.
In a world that really needs a positive review of its idea of the environment and protection of the planet, companies that create environmentally friendly industrial solutions stand out for their special qualities of sensitivity to the problem.
One of these is the Italian Company Molteni Vernici, world leader in design and luxury finishes, which, riding as it is in its DNA the wave of technological innovation, gave birth to Wakeup, a special finish obtained from the waste of the coffee industry, the first to be dedicated to the world of design and architecture obtained from regenerated material.
Thanks to its ease of manual application with a spatula or brush and the low industrial costs, the Wakeup water coating is suitable to be applied on indoor supports of metal, plastic and wood, characterized by its textured and three-dimensional to the touch, which is solid and completely insulated from hot or cold liquids.
The innovative finish uses the processing waste of the coffee industry, a beverage known worldwide for its energy and explosiveness and therefore the perfect spokesperson for the message of Molteni Vernici. Actually, the company aims to raise awareness on the issue of environmental sustainability. That’s the reason of the band’s leitmotiv: "WAKEUP - Wake up, do something for the environment!" accompanied by the goal of shaking the eco-friendly creativity of architects, companies and designers, opening forwards them a new range of opportunities.
From the sustainability point of view, Wakeup is doing a lot: its production cycle makes it possible to drastically cut CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, thus having a lighter impact on an abused planet, now exploited to the bone. A change to protect the future of our children, of which the company is proud to be a participant and protagonist, siding alongside the environment as a spearhead ready to undermine the preconception of the impossible, showing that even the discard can give rise to surprise.
Once again Molteni Vernici is therefore style, innovation and emotion. Reuse and recycling write the direction of the company towards sustainability combined with the attention to new technologies. The new goal is now the creation of intelligent finishes that drive hard towards greater and continuous protection of what we have, which is the most important treasure: the environment that surrounds us.
