A Window Into Molteni&C’s Milan Locale And Top Products

Molteni&C, the third-generation Italian design group founded by Angelo and Giuseppina Molteni, just marked 90 years in business, a milestone it celebrates with a new Milan address in a historic palazzo. The grand late-19th-century residence underwent renovations in the 1920’s, so art nouveau flourishes pair with the tony neoclassical architecture. Conceived by group creative director Vincent Van Duysen as the home of an astute collector, the seven-story space takes visitors on a journey through 32,000 square feet of design morsels. There’s glossy lacquered Lèa coffee tables from the 1990’s by Christophe Delcourt; a 2025 reissue of Monk, a chair of solid wood and leather designed in 1973 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa; and artwork curated by architect and designer Elisa Ossino. The top two floors function primarily as a gallery and currently play host to an exhibition of Santi Caleca photographs that capture works by Frank Gehry, Aldo Rossi, Ettore Sottsass, and Johanna Grawunder.
