Molteni&C inaugurates Palazzo Molteni Tokyo, the new Flagship Store in Minami Aoyama, designed by Vincent Van Duysen, a building conceived as a sculpture—an architectural expression of the Molteni&C home and lifestyle, in the heart of the Japanese capital.
The new space spans about 1,000 square meters across four levels—one underground and three above ground—and marks an important milestone in Molteni&C’s international expansion. The opening is the result of a longstanding collaboration with historic partner ArflexJapan Ltd., one of Japan’s leading design players.
Palazzo Molteni Tokyo represents the first architectural project in Japan by Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen, Molteni&C’s Creative Director since 2016. The new Flagship Store is a striking architectural and sculptural presence that encapsulates the essence of Molteni&C’s design DNA while harmoniously integrating elements of Japanese culture and aesthetics.
“Palazzo Molteni Tokyo is a very important project both for me and for Molteni&C. It’s a building that has been conceived as a real house, where the façade follows the layout of the interiors and domestic environments.
It is, without a doubt, a project that embodies Molteni’s soul and DNA, and I am confident it will make a strong visual impact with its interplay of volumes, full-height windows, and terraces.”
– Vincent Van Duysen
“When I started thinking about this project, I wanted to create a very sculptural volume, monolithic…we could also describe it as tectonic, where there is an interplay between masses and voids. We aimed to express something very geometric in terms of patterns and playfulness, yet using a very restrained and quiet architectural language.”
– Vincent Van Duysen
