Molteni&C is pleased to unveil the inspiration behind the 2025 Collection, a sophisticated homage to Milan’s architectural and design heritage. Under the creative direction of Vincent Van Duysen, the collection reinterprets the brand’s archives through a contemporary lens, blending historical influences with modern elegance.
The mood of the 2025 Collection draws inspiration from Molteni&C exhibitions and projects from the 1970s and 1980s, reimagining them for today’s open living spaces. An open-plan apartment in an elegant residential area of Milan was the point of departure for the Collection, reflecting the city’s grand past as well as its modern aesthetics.
In Vincent Van Duysen’s own telling, the Collection is crafted to enhance, “dynamic, almost abstract environments, light, fresh, and scenographic – a home inspired by a contemporary re-reading of archives and history.”
At the heart of this vision is the newly opened Palazzo Molteni on Milan’s Via Manzoni, an international hub for design that embodies the fusion of historical grandeur and modern cosmopolitanism — a theme echoed throughout the collection. The space reflects Molteni&C’s commitment to innovation, providing a setting where the brand’s heritage and forward-thinking design converge.
