THE FINISHES

Molteni&C's Outdoor offering is the result of thorough research into a few selected materials. Burnished varnished aluminium, natural teak, stainless steel, EVA polyurethane bands (a UVresistant material), polypropylene or polyethylene ropes and Etna lava stone. These are the only materials that make up the structural part of the Outdoor proposal. Each material has a precise and distinctive aesthetic and with its own ability to evoke visual and tactile sensations, recalling Mediterranean cultures and manufacturing traditions, here revisited in a new and contemporary image.

THE TEXTILES

Musco, the series of upholstery fabrics developed in collaboration with Limonta Spa, embellishes and complements the Landmark and Timeout Collections. Seven monochrome and decorative fabrics, selected by Marta Ferri, with a material and soft hand: monochrome or striped jacquard and bouclé yarns, to be combined ton sur ton or contrast, without prevailing over the material identity and the expressive figure of each Outdoor collection. The fabrics are inspired by shades of nature, where warmer tones, such as rust and dark brown, alternate with cooler ones such as blue or undergrowth green.

SUSTAINABILITY

Considering the strong palette of materials of the Outdoor proposal, colors have been carefully coordinated. Organic tones such as rust, desert yellow, earth brown, olive green, and anthracite mean that pieces from disparate collections can live easily together. Molteni&C’s steadfast commitment to sustainability resides at the core of the collection. It is a responsibility that is pursued in every step of production, from conception to the product’s end of life. The furniture in the collection is predominantly mono-material and sourced from certified supply chains, the parts are replaceable, and, as in the case of the upholstery, recyclable. The vitreous inserts of the Etna lava stone, used for the oven-baked enameling of the surfaces, come from the crushing of recycled glass from TV and PC monitors.

THE DESIGNERS

Molteni&C's Outdoor collections are independent but dialogue with each other, thanks to mutual and sophisticated references in the details and in the common color palette, which reflects typically Mediterranean colors, from the warm earthy tones to the hues of olive groves, to the shades of coastal vegetation: olive green, anthracite, ivory, burnished and desert yellow. The same shades are featured in the rugs: creations by Marta Ferri, Nicola Gallizia, Vincent Van Duysen and Elisa Ossino add an extra touch of elegance to the Outdoor experience. The products are interpreted by the most important contemporary designers, from Studio Dordoni, Foster + Partners, Ron Gilad, and Elisa Ossino to Gio Ponti and Creative Director Vincent Van Duysen.
