Molteni&C Kitchens & barbecues
An Italian
story
Molteni&C was founded in 1934 by Angelo Molteni. Originally an artisan workshop, it quickly evolved into one of the leading design brands, known for its craftsmanship and focus on technological and social progress. In the 1950s, Molteni&C anticipated the needs of modern living by presenting the first prototype of modern furniture—a drawer with a three-fork geometric joint designed by Werner Blaser, an assistant to Mies van der Rohe, along with two bookshelves by designers Itoh and D'Urbino-Volonterio.
Over the years, Molteni&C partnered with leading designers and architects who helped define the brand’s aesthetic and solidify its role in the design world. These include Luca Meda—who transformed Molteni’s style, Afra and Tobia Scarpa, and Aldo Rossi. In 1994, the brand received the Compasso d'Oro alla Carriera for its leadership in furniture design and its broad vision of the cultural context. Since 2012, Molteni&C has produced the Gio Ponti Collection, featuring valuable archival designs brought to life through research conducted with Ponti’s heirs.
Today, Molteni&C stands as a benchmark in Italian design, with a distinctive and refined aesthetics under the art direction of Vincent van Duysen.

Ninety years of contemporary elegance
Molteni was founded in 1934 in Giussano as an artisan carpentry company. Right from the start, knowledge of traditional workmanship allowed the company to identify the search for quality and attention to technological progress as its focal points.
The desire for change in the 1960s pushed Molteni to change with society, translating its needs into furniture through a design process conceived as pure planning. Molteni began to transform into a modern company, growing through collaboration with designers and the acquisition of office and kitchen furniture companies. Molteni has grown into a group that is capable of bringing its unmistakable style and craftsmanship to furniture and contract projects, all over the world.
Molteni style through its designers
The sobriety and the warmth conveyed by Molteni&C furniture transcend the personal style of the designers who collaborate with the brand. The Molteni identity is such that it succeeds in merging and synthesizing individual styles to create a unique aesthetic that envisions the home as “cozy, warm and reassuring.”
Part of this vision of refined, quality design are some of the leading international designers and architect, such as Herzog & de Meuron, Foster + Partners, Michael Anastassiades, Jean Nouvel, Jasper Morrison, and Ron Gilad, as well as masters of Italian style such as Gio Ponti, Tobia Scarpa, Rodolfo Dordoni, Ferruccio Laviani, and Aldo Rossi.
