In the world of Italian interior design, few names inspire as much respect and admiration as Molteni. The 2023 collection, under the artistic direction of Vincent Van Duysen, is a true ode to elegance, functionality, and innovation, offering a contemporary interpretation of luxury furniture.
A Tribute to the Roman Domus
This new collection draws inspiration from the layout of the ancient Roman Domus, highlighting a fluid interaction between interior and exterior spaces. Under the artistic direction of Vincent Van Duysen, the collection celebrates the home as a space for conviviality and sharing, reflecting a relaxing and enveloping atmosphere where each room becomes a place for living and interaction.
La Table Mateo, a call for conviviality
At the heart of the collection is the Mateo table, a piece that combines traditional aesthetics with contemporary appeal. Its rounded shape and flared cylindrical base, interrupted by a central opening, express a rare lightness and delicacy. Available in several configurations and sizes, Mateo becomes the main feature of any space, symbolizing sharing and conviviality thanks to its Lazy Susan swivel system for the larger versions.
The Porta Volta Chair: form and function
The Porta Volta chair, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, is a striking example of the fusion of form and function. Its solid wood U-shaped structure, characterized by rigid lines, creates a striking contrast with its comfortable padded seat. The slight incline of the legs and backrest ensures optimal support, while the construction of the chair, with its comb-like joint connecting the upper part to the lower structure, combines aesthetics and comfort.
Tuscany and Cinnamon: Japanese influence
Molteni also draws on the expertise of Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa, adding a touch of innovation and diversity. The Tuscany chaise longue, with its sinuous, undulating shape, is inspired by the hills of Tuscany and offers maximum comfort. It is available in two finishes: matt lacquered eucalyptus and brass, or natural oak. As for the Cinnamon armchair, with its simple and essential shape, it inspires relaxation and tranquility. Its stretch jersey fabric upholstery and generous shape make it a comfortable and stylish addition to any living space.
Molteni's 2023 collection redefines the boundaries of interior design, harmoniously blending tradition and modernity, craftsmanship and innovation. Each piece is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, offering a rich and elegant living experience.
