Catalog excerpts

The story of a family, a legacy and a passion for things beautiful and for finely crafted furniture, a culture forged and nurtured within the firm. This is how it has always been, for Molteni&C.

Case all'italiana Italian style homes A home and a palazzo, the hill between the woods and the Venetian lagoon, modernity and classicism, different eras and histories coexist in the interiors that house the Molteni&C and Dada collections. The palazzo was restored by a great architect, Carlo Scarpa, who created a project that was at once ancient and modern. “We can say that the architecture that we would like to be poetry, should be called harmony, like the face of a beautiful woman”, he wrote.
