Molteni&C is a perfect representation of Italian care for beauty, aesthetics, and immense quality. The company was established in 1934, in Giussano, Brianza province in Italy, when the furnishing industry was transitioning from tailor-made manufacturing to mass production and the wood artists started to become entrepreneurs. A company grew while refining its manufacturing processes together with implementing advanced design projects. Now the company holds 4 brands for various types of projects: Molteni&C SpA (house furniture), Unifor SpA (office furniture), Dada SpA (kitchen furnishing), and Citterio SpA (divider walls and office furniture).
The whole Molteni group has more than 700 retailers in over 80 countries around the world. The company is proud to offer a 100% made in Italy production, from the materials to the finished product.
Molteni&C – a manufacturer of timeless design pieces
The company founded by Angelo Molteni had a profound boom in the 1960s when the economy was growing rapidly. Angelo Molteni was one of the 13 visionaries and entrepreneurs who launched the Salone del Mobile in Milan – the vehicle for promoting Italian furniture worldwide.
First Molteni modular solutions for different spaces of houseware launched in the 70s. The product could be modified to be suitable for the living room, study, bedroom, or any other area. In the same decade, the contract division was founded to contribute projects specifically for shops, hotels, museums, and cruise ships.
The 80s of Molteni were marked by the creation of Aldo Rossi, who collaborated with the company to design a series of functional and aesthetically refined furnishing pieces.
Gio Ponti Collection was released in 2012 which was a project partnering with Gio Ponti Archives, that included pieces from the architect that were created in the 50s and never have been mass-produced. Now Molteni&C sofas, wardrobes, and iconic modular systems of timeless design can be found inside the interiors all around the world.
