In 2024, Molteni&C celebrates 90 years of innovation, design, industry, and corporate culture with a book, “Molteni Mondo. An Italian Design Story”, the first monograph dedicated to the identity, history, and values of the company founded in Giussano in 1934 by Angelo and Giuseppina Molteni.

Molteni Mondo is also a connecting platform: words and images, actions of doing, projects of architects and designers, the looks of artists, the choice of raw materials, services, strategies, reputation, customer appreciation, the centrality of human capital, process sustainability, digital and technological innovation, social responsibility. Always with the magnificent obsession of Quality.

“In 2024, our company celebrates its ninetieth year of activity. Studying its history, werealized that it coincides with the history of Italian design. It begins in 1955 in Brianza with the first Selettiva di Cantù, also promoted by my father Angelo – an exhibition that had architects of the caliber of Gio Ponti, Alvar Aalto, and Carlo De Carli on the jury, spreading knowledge of design in the area. In this important year, we want to share our goal for the future: spreading the culture of quality living throughout the world” (Carlo Molteni, President of the Molteni Group).

Always in dialogue with new worlds, Molteni&C has traveled stories and geographies since 1934 to internationalize itself, thus supporting precious and unique skills; to intercept the needs and desires of contemporary living, and respond with new skills to special projectsworldwide, custom-made.

Molteni Group, increasingly global and lifestyle-oriented, leverages synergies between Molteni&C, UniFor, Citterio, and is now present in over 100 countries, with over 700 points of sale, 100 Flagship Stores. And a consolidated turnover of 475 million in 2023, 70% ofwhich is international.

Molteni Mondo is a factory of Italian design that has made production an endeavor to be respected, passed down, and developed from generation to generation, a common good, one of the centers of the creative process, making itself available to creative minds to explore their language and codes. Gestures and faces are the greatest capital, a knowhow of knowledge settled in 90 years of history that is part of our heritage. At the center is the representation of a world of objects and thoughts, ambitions, and imperfections. There is the responsibility of knowing how to do and how to be.

The great protagonists of design and architecture have always played a fundamental role in the innovation processes, in promoting the culture of living, and in creating timeless products, interpretating the social changes, such as the new collaborations with Herzog & de Meuron, Naoto Fukasawa, Yabu Pushelberg. And the new collections, Outdoor since 2023 and Kitchens Dada Engineered, celebrating the Italian excellence of outdoor living and proposing infinitely customizable solutions.

Molteni&C’s new flagship store is located on Avenida da Liberdade, Lisbon’s main avenue, known for its luxury stores and charming style that reflects classic 19th century Portuguese architecture.

Spanning almost 400 square meters, the store covers two floors, including living, kitchen and dining areas that immerse visitors in Molteni&C’s timeless Italian style.

This flagship store is a conceptual celebration, an ode to the protagonists of the world of architecture. Within the walls of the store are works by great masters and designers of cities, spaces, interiors and furniture, such as Vincent Van Duysen, Naoto Fukasawa and Rodolfo Dordoni, among others. In line with Molteni&C’s philosophy, the space exudes the idea of a warm, comforting and inviting home, but one that also evolves with the times.
