Ninety years of contemporary elegance

Molteni was founded in 1934 in Giussano as an artisan carpentry company. Right from the start, knowledge of traditional workmanship allowed the company to identify the search for quality and attention to technological progress as its focal points.

 

The desire for change in the 1960s pushed Molteni to change with society, translating its needs into furniture through a design process conceived as pure planning. Molteni began to transform into a modern company, growing through collaboration with designers and the acquisition of office and kitchen furniture companies. Molteni has grown into a group that is capable of bringing its unmistakable style and craftsmanship to furniture and contract projects, all over the world.

The sobriety and the warmth conveyed by Molteni&C furniture transcend the personal style of the designers who collaborate with the brand. The Molteni identity is such that it succeeds in merging and synthesizing individual styles to create a unique aesthetic that envisions the home as “cozy, warm and reassuring.”
