An 80-year anniversary deserves some fanfare, and the extraordinary new Molteni Museum throws a worthy celebration in honor of the legendary contemporary furniture line. Housed in the penthouse of the company’s Giussano, Italy headquarters, the exhibition offers a dazzling tour of Molteni’s journey from modest atelier to industry icon.
Not all ordinary chairs come with their own fan clubs, but the Gio Ponti D.154.2 Armchair does exactly that. Described by the New York Times Style Magazine as a “manifestation of Ponti’s twin ideals of harmony and joy,” and featured as one of Kara Butterfield’s “Editors’ Picks” in this month’s Boston Home, this piece is an instant classic for contemporary interiors, and is almost certain to earn sought-after status among today’s collectors.
Italian contemporary furniture designer Molteni & C recently celebrated 80 years in the business. This is no easy feat. To celebrate, the company hosted the exhibit 80! Molteni, exhibiting eight decades of high-quality furniture design. You can visit the exhibition in person, featuring iconic Molteni & C pieces throughout the decades, at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in the Villa Reale in via Palestro.
