2023 New Collection
A modern transposition of the Roman Domus
The 2023 Molteni&C Collection project, under the creative direction of Vincent Van Duysen, narrates the connection between indoor and outdoor, between intimacy and sharing, and between private and public space. The project is based on the domestic configurations of the ancient Roman Domus: the central element of the domus is the uncovered courtyard, from which the house receives light and water, collected in a pool. The other private and public rooms are arranged around the courtyard. The inner portico, or peristyle, adorned with columns, bounds the garden, and is intended for one’s otium in nature.

2024 Collection
Augusto | Sofa
design Vincent Van Duysen
The Augusto sofa, by Belgian designer Vincent Van Duysen, is an exploration of contrasts: where past meets present and technical innovation meets the expert craftsmanship of Molteni&C.The key to Augusto’s timeless aesthetic is the balance of soft, upholstered seats with the sophistication of its modern metal structure. To enhance Augusto's unique silhouette, elegant piping runs along the cushions, defining their shape.
“For this new sofa, we have accentuated its architectural and graphical presence. The proportions are generous with more voluminous elements, a clean departure from previous work with Molteni&C”
states Vincent Van Duysen
Mateo | Table
design Vincent Van Duysen
Vincent Van Duysen reconfigures the dining room, adding character with a new table design, available in two different versions. The table, featuring a cylindrical and cone-shaped pedestal in the centre, divided in two in the vertical part of the base, is available in two versions tapered at the edges: round and oval, blending in perfectly with all kinds of environments.
“It was inspired by the hospitality area designed for the new Pavilion inside the Molteni&C headquarters. A welcoming place, conceived to create an atmosphere of Italian hospitality, elegant and minimal, in line with the soul of the brand”.

Porta Volta | Chair
design Herzog & de Meuron
The Porta Volta Chair by Herzog & de Meuron marks a new chapter of collaboration between the historic brand Molteni&C and the renowned international architectural firm, long-term partners of the Molteni Group.
The Porta Volta Chair highlights the relationship between the upholstered seat and the solid timber back, the defining element of the design. The floating backrest extends around the perimeter of the seat in a U-shape, extending forward to create the armrests, and resting on 3 intersecting wooden U-frames that feature a special curved bent “finger joint” detail at their rounded corners. The legs and the support for the back are angled slightly outwards, to give a sense of stability and generosity while adding extra comfort.
Tuscany | Chaise longue
design Naoto Fukasawa
Acclaimed designer Naoto Fukasawa presents his latest exploration of shape and form with Tuscany, the chaise longue that marks an important contribution to the Molteni&C catalog, recalling new suggestions.
“The Chaise lounge, with its undulations reminiscent of the rolling hills of Tuscany, was designed so that you can lie on it and doze off while gazing at the hills in the distance. The soft and ergonomic cushions conform easily to the contours of your body”
explains Fukasawa
Cinnamon | Armchair
design Naoto Fukasawa
The Cinnamon armchair by the Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa is a masterpiece of furniture design that seamlessly blends form, function, and comfort. The enveloping shape exudes an air of warmth and tranquility, inviting you to sink in and relax.
“The inspiration for the Cinnamon armchair was the feeling of being wrapped in a soft embrace — or like you are floating in an inflatable ring with your arms drifting along the water surface. A simple yet cozy shape, where the body is pleasantly welcomed”
declared Naoto Fukasawa, describing his creative process.
