( History )
90TH YEARS OF MOLTENI&C
Molteni&C was born in Giussano in 1934, in the heart of Italy's furniture district. By 1947, what began as Angelo and Giuseppina Molteni’s artisan workshop had grown into a factory employing more than 60 craftspeople.

( Icons )
Since 1934, the Molteni&C culture of quality living has been shaped by profound collaborations with designers who have made history around the world.
The Molteni Icons are the hallmarks of these collaborations, blending elegant echoes from the past with timeless visions for the present and future.
( Molteni Minds )
Innovation depends on people who imagine, design and build it. Molteni Minds celebrates the architects, designers and multidisciplinary talents whose creativity, expertise and collaboration nurture the evolution of Molteni&C.
( Molteni Compound )
The Molteni&C headquarters in Giussano is not a mere production site. It is a compound where architecture, history, and design coexist within a few hundred meters of each other, and each building possesses its own unique purpose.
( Palazzo Molteni )
Molteni&C's global presence takes many forms, counting more than 130 Flagship Stores across six continents. But there are locations where the brand expresses itself at a different scale entirely.

( Our expertise )
Molteni&C has built an unrivalled reputation on one founding principle: that for quality to be ensured, it must be fully embedded in the process, from design to finished product. A completely in-house production cycle gives the brand direct control over every stage — from the first technical drawing to the completed piece — so that nothing is left to chance.
( Design Culture )
Instrumental in the creation of Salone del Mobile Milano in 1961, Molteni&C has always understood that design does not exist in isolation. It is produced within a cultural context, and the brand has a responsibility to that context.
( Sustainability )
Across three generations of ownership, the Molteni&C has invested continuously in the materials, technologies, and processes that produce furniture of enduring quality and minimal environmental impact. The discipline of true craftmanship is inseparable from a commitment to longevity and a deep respect for natural resources.
