It’s not a stretch to think that every owner of luxury homes throughout the world would want at least one item of Italian design within their walls. The Italian furniture industry itself is synonymous with modern, long-lasting products. Whether it’s a leather handbag or a sectional sofa, the “made-in-Italy” tag is also widely accepted as a mark of quality.
So you would think that Molteni&C, a venerable Italian furniture brand that collaborates with top architects and designers including Patricia Urquiola, Foster + Partners and Jean Nouvel, could rest on its laurels. That’s exactly the opposite of what it’s doing, thanks to the energy and tenacity of the Molteni family, who have steered the company for over 80 years and across three generations.
