==Inspirations, collaborations and visibility==

Each Benedetti Life collection is inspired by animal species in danger of extinction because of the human impact. The collection Parrot raises awareness of the extinction of those beautiful and clever creatures in the Amazon. The Octopus collection is made with sustainable wood silk, pineapple leather, vegetable buttons and organic textiles. It is one of the rarest
biodegradable and non-toxic collections in the world.

In 2019, Matea Benedetti collaborated with the worldwide known Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who wore an elegant Benedetti Life suit in Madrid at the 2019 Marca Gala, receiving the Ricardo Zamora Trophy for the best goalkeeper in Spain's LA LIGA. The Jan Oblak sustainable Life BOX was also designed in a collaboration with Benedetti Life and has his personal signature and a bamboo T- Shirt. A step towards spreading the message.
