“Como para todo lo que es nuevo, hay una gran emoción por aprender. Conocer de cerca el mundo de Molteni&C, sus productos y los profesionales que trabajan en él, ha inspirado el resultado final”
La colaboración con Molteni&C marca el punto final de una labor comenzada por Marta Ferri en los archivos de los más destacadados fabricantes textiles italianos. De la delicada sensibilidad de la diseñadora, surge una colección única de textiles combinados con las nuevas creaciones de asientos y sofás firmados por Patricia Urquiola, Rodolfo Dordoni y Vincent Van Duysen.
“El nombre de la colección es una referencia directa a la estructura de los textiles que la caracterizan y también – de una manera más abstracta, una alusión a la narración sofisticada lograda por las combinaciones matéricas y cromáticas.
Los objetos se visten y cobran una nueva identidad expresiva, entablando un diálogo creativo entre elementos, colores y materiales que genera resultados tanto evocativos como funcionales.”
Marta Ferri
The Frammenti collection is distinguished by a harmony inspired by Nature combining earthy tones with various shades of green. Weft and warp intertwine, creating a rich blend of colours and contrasts. The material becomes an accomplice of this union giving form and depth to the structures. Once again Marta Ferri projects her fresh and dynamic vision to the world of furnishings.
Her original intuition, which combines her love of colour and her passion for everything that surrounds her, makes the collection warm, striking and contemporary.
Canvas
Karl | Krill
The canvases chosen by Molteni&C. for its collection are created with twisted high-resistance threads. The fibre’s intrinsic nature makes the structure of the fabric extremely compact, resulting in excellent performance through time. Its non fade quality is guaranteed by the use of high resistance dyes.

Chenille
Wallance | Wonder | Wing
Chenille is a fabric with a long history. Created with a special weave, it recalls velvet, but unlike velvet, it is worked on traditional loom set ups. To make sure that it is strong, it is important to tie the threads as tightly as possible. The chenilles chosen by Molteni&C for its collection are of the highest quality possible, obtained with the most advanced manufacturing technology and processes.
The new textile collection created by Marta Ferri for Molteni&C. Bright contemporary yarns intertwined with natural fibres – linens and cottons – express Marta Ferri’s latest ideas for Molteni&C textiles in the 2019 Fibra collection. A new way of interpreting plain colours, combining cold hues, twinkling with silver filaments, and warm ochre and rusty shades, enlivened by copper-coloured strands, in a fresh, futuristic interpretation of the ancient art of weaving. Added to these, the softness and warmth of an embossed, shearling-like textile, which becomes the ideal layer not only for furnishings but also for surfaces and spaces.
Linen
Wiluna
Linen is one of the most ancient and noble fibres used by man in clothing and furnishing. This fabric offers sobre, contemporary fabrics which are at the same time ancient. One of its main characteristics is its resistance through time. Linen becomes sophisticated when it takes on that particular “crumpled” look which gives it a nonchalant feeling of being “lived”.

Safire
These fabrics are the product of special looms with multiple insertions. From the initial stages of the thread manufacture, it is necessary to use special, very slow, machines, so as to leave the fibre unaltered in all its length and resistance. The “felt” effect and the irregularities of the fibre which stands out exalt the special features of the natural fibres used (cotton – viscose). These irregularities are A feature typical of the working of this wool.
Entre las nuevas y diferentes declinaciones de tejidos, destacan dos propuestas dedicadas de Kvadrat®, excelencia textil danesa. También está la piel, con una nueva interpretación dedicada.

Velvet
Zenith
The velvets selected by Molteni&C; are made with threads of the highest quality. They are high quality fabrics with a base which supports a thick layer of pile and have a distinctive “three dimensional” effect which exalts the covers’ looks.
Leather
Unique
Unique uses bovine leather from Western Europe’s best cattle farms. Raw leather is selected carefully at each processing step. It is a full-grain, drum dyed aniline leather. The product’s main characteristics are its softness and touch, obtained by using low specific weight grease and retanning which gives it an extremely natural feeling. A special tanning process gives the leather a natural grain appearance.
The positive partnership initiated last year between Marta Ferri and Molteni&C is developing with a new exclusive collection of 7 textiles (linen, bouclè, canvases, chenilles and jacquard), 2 leathers and 3 blankets made of cashmere, pure merino wool and a wool/cotton mix respectively.
“Gea is a collection that excited me right from the start, because it offered me the chance to bring all the colours and warmth of nature into the Molteni home. It is an extremely material collection, featuring intense dyed-in-yarn colours and daring interweaving that enhance cosy interiors and give depth to the forms. Gea means earth, nature and life, and these are precisely the elements that I wanted to represent when I made my choices for the collection: the deep orange of rust, the vibrant green of moss, the yellow ochre and the ethereal pink of powder”.

Wool
Why
The wools chosen for the Molteni&C collection are woven with traditional or jacquard loom set ups. The best wools are used: they give excellent results regarding wear and tear and feature that slight hairy texture when rubbed which testifies to their quality. Woollen fabrics are notoriously excellent for heat insulation. They give a feeling of warmth or coolness thanks to their property of reacting to whatever condition they are in.

Leather | P
Pandora
The carefully chosen leather is treated with a light grinding process on the surface after which it is tanned (with chrome) and coloured (with analine dye); all the treatments help to preserve leather’s exceptional natural characteristics, including certain anomalies due to the free range raising of the animals, such as scars, slight grazing, insect bites etc. These anomalies are visible proof of a natural product. After dying the hide are finished with treatments which increase their resistance to light and to grazing. The leather is characterized by a glossy grain, obtained by the use of waxes in the finishing process, slightly in relief, for a very soft hand and a silky touch.
Leather | S
Scirocco
The carefully selected leather is tanned with chrome salts and dyed exclusively in baths with aniline. The surface is buffed, making it pleasantly soft to the touch with a play on various levels of luminosity. To guarantee long lasting use a waterproof treatment is applied. A choice of leathers with nabuk working offers a rediscovery of classic sensations combined with contemporary design.
The new Bed Dressing Collection stars three new plaids, in sable cashmere, merino nuanced wool finished with blanket stitch and cotton jacquard. A new world to dress the Molteni&C collection beds, 100% made in Italy, using the finest yarns with a contemporary image.
Originating from the central Asian plateau, the Hircus goat lives up to an altitude of 6.000 meters. A thick, smooth and soft undercoat protects it from these particularly harsh climates. This is where the valuable high quality cashmere comes from, with an average thickness of 15 thousands of millimeters (micron), it is considered the thinnest and thus the finest in the market.
This ultra light imperceptible yarn is the result of a careful selection of the most precious Australian merino wool fibre on the market. The rigorous choice of 16.5 micron raw material, guaranteed by long-standing relations with our suppliers, along with the professional care given to processing yield an ultra fine and inter seasonal yarn. Its excellent quality has won it the 140’s Woolmark Company (international certification agency for pure wool) certificate in the 2/60 titre category, indicating the fineness of the fibre, precisely 16.5 micron.
La arrolladora y coloreada llegada de la estampación
“Materia” se compone de tres fantasías inspiradas en el mundo de la naturaleza: Foliage, con una clara referencia a la naturaleza tropical, Roots, inspirada en las raíces de los grandes árboles seculares, y Paglia, una refinada interpretación textil de la paja de viena.
Al lado de las fantasías, Marta interpreta también cuatro propuestas en el mundo de los terciopelos, reinterpretado con colores modernos e insólitos, de las chenillas con su característico efecto "desgastado”, de los linos brutos, y finalmente de una piel nueva, caracterizada por curticiones naturales con acabado efecto cuero, que aúna el brillo del cuero tradicional y la suavidad de las pieles anilinas clásicas.
