MOLTENI HISTORY

“A long ride, with a few obstacles and many challenges, from 1934 to the present. And the feeling that it is never enough... No, "knowledge" is not enough anymore, but we have a magnificent obsession for quality every day and in every detail.”

Piroscafo — Pirosacafo – design Luca Meda & Aldo Rossi

Kitchens Dada Engineered

Today, with the Group’s expansion worldwide and the Molteni&C brand’s establishment in the high-end home furnishing sector, the integration of kitchens under the Molteni&C brand has become strategic.

This has led to the creation of Dada Engineered, which is much more than a name; it is a seal of innovation, a new tool for relating and certifying the attention and care that we have always put into kitchen design.

Designed in 1953, the D.153.1 armchair is part of the furniture of Gio Ponti’s private house in via Dezza in Milan. It features a brass structure, cover in bicolor white-blue leather or “Punteggiato” fabric

**D.859.1**

The D.859.1 table, designed primarily as a meeting table for up to ten people, stands out not only for its impressive size—over 3,60 meters long—but especially for its simple yet refined design. The legs are notable for their fine-membered modernity, creating a trapezoidal single-span bridge upon which the large tapered top conveys the idea of aerodynamics.

The armchair, designed for one of the projects closest to Gio Ponti’s heart, the villa of the Planchart collectors in Caracas (1953-57), it is part of the Gio Ponti Collection.

**D.552.2**

Architecture, a pan virtuosity, acrobatic proportions and an intersection of joints. An infinite table which is a geometric dialogue between the glass and rosewood – lightness and abstraction distilled.

Gio Ponti’s D.154.2 and D.151.4 armchairs, Jean Nouvel’s Graduate bookshelfand Foster+Partners’ Arc table represent the hallmark designs of Molteni&Cand offers a snapshot through the company 90 years of history.
