Setting the benchmark with Molteni&C

Inspired by the idea of permeability and transparency between internal and external spaces as well as the idea of organic playfulness and unparalleled comfort, Molteni&C’s inaugural outdoor collection is a sight to behold

About Molteni&C

Tracing its historical roots back to 1934, Molteni&C is a revered Italian furniture company founded by Angelo Molteni in Giussano (located within the Brianza furniture district). What began as a small artisanal workshop evolved into a vertically integrated industrial group known for elevated class, precise craftsmanship and modular designs. Their portfolio spans indoor and outdoor furniture, kitchens, wardrobes and large-scale contract projects. Blending tradition with contemporary innovation, collaborations with celebrated designers such as Gio Ponti, Vincent van Duysen and Patricia Urquiola have shaped their timeless aesthetic and propelled the brand’s excellence to even greater heights.

A taste of Molteni&C

Green Point Chair

Courtesy of Vincent Van Duysen, the Green Point chair carries a slender silhouette, characterised by a flat band in burnished painted aluminium with zero corners. The bending of the band draws the shape of the backrest and its sled bases with dynamic, agile and angular profiles. It creates a pleasant contrast to the warm but dense textured upholstery constructed in the traditional weave pattern, available in the following colours: anthracite, olive green and desert yellow.

Palinfrasca Outdoor Sofa

Another Van Duysen creation, the modular Palinfrasca outdoor sofa is immediately recognisable by its iconic shape which pays tribute to the 1994 work by Luca Meda, interpreting the essence of solid teak in a contemporary way. Its frame, part of which serves as a convenient shelf for small objects, is characterised not only by gentle curves and soft lines for an intense feeling of comfort but also by the Mediterranean-inspired weaving of the thin backrest band.
