The company, led by the Molteni family and directed by Vincent Van Duysen, seamlessly blends tradition with innovation, ensuring its furniture not only looks stunning but also enhances living experiences, respecting its rich heritage while forging ahead into the future.
L’iconica poltrona D.154.2, disegnata da Gio Ponti negli anni '50 per Villa Planchart a Caracas, rivoluzionò il design con la sua scocca rigida in poliuretano e la contro-scocca morbida, segnando un nuovo standard di comfort. Dal 2015 parte della Heritage Collection di Molteni&C, è stata recentemente premiata con il Compasso d’Oro alla Carriera al Prodotto 2024, riconoscendo l'impatto duraturo di Ponti nel mondo del design. Un capolavoro che combina innovazione e tradizione, custodito per le generazioni future.
In esclusiva per Mohd, la D.154.2 si veste di un raffinato rivestimento in velluto marquise, per una special edition disponibile in tre colorazioni che rende questo tesoro del design italiano ancor più ricercato.
The Blevio table, designed by Ignazio Gardella in 1930 for the Molteni family residence on Lake Como, boasts a streamlined, elegant design. The table features two hollow cylinders topped with simple wooden capitals that support a rounded rectangular top, exemplifying Gardella’s minimalist approach to form and function, where materials themselves become aesthetic features creating a visually pleasing architectural balance.
Afra and Tobia Scarpa's MHC.3 Miss chair, designed in 1986, encapsulates the essence of elegance in design, reflecting the Scarpa’s philosophy of integrating both technique and meaning. The chair’s seamless structure transforms the front legs into armrests and melds into a curved backrest for optimal comfort. Available in natural or black-stained ash with a choice of a leather or woven rope seat, the Miss chair strikes a perfect balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
The Living Box sideboard epitomizes Vincent Van Duysen's design philosophy: an elegant and functional furniture piece, acting as a pivotal element in modern living spaces. Crafted from high-quality materials by skilled artisans, this low, rectangular sideboard, which can cleverly conceal or display items, achieves a harmonious balance of aesthetics and functionality, meeting practical needs with style.
The Arc sculpture table by Foster + Partners features a base sculpted from a single block, available in colors ranging from white to black, with intermediate shades like brick-colored concrete and bronze. This table pairs its bold, architectural base with a choice of elegant round or oval tops made from glass or fine marble, enhancing any modern space with its distinct style.
Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the Porta Volta chair beautifully combines the architectural design of its solid wood U-shaped frame with the comfort of an upholstered seat, making it a striking yet inviting piece of furniture that perfectly balances aesthetics with functionality.
The iconic MHC.1 chest of drawers, designed by Werner Blaser in 1955, reflects a minimalist and refined aesthetic deeply influenced by Japanese culture, offering a timeless piece that transcends trends.
Yasuhiko Itoh’s MHC.2 bookcase, designed in 1959, features a daring wood curvature that showcases ambitious design and refined beauty. Once a Japanese prototype, this piece now celebrates both innovation and timeless elegance within Molteni&C’s Heritage Collection.
