Stepping into the expansive store, guests are greeted by a welcoming dining area dominated by the VVD island. Cherished pieces such as Vincent Van Duysen’s Mateo and Regent tables, and Herzog & de Meuron’s Porta Volta chairs display a contemporary yet cozy interpretation of a modern-day gathering space. Underfoot, Marta Ferri’s Vibrazioni carpet invites visitors further into the experience.

The bedroom area is a carefully constructed masterpiece, designed to evoke feelings of coziness. The Ovidio bed by Vincent Van Duysen takes centerstage, while the Cinnamon armchair by Naoto Fukasawa and Regent coffee table allow utility with sophistication. Perhaps the most emblematic piece of all is the Gliss Master wardrobe system that Van Duysen ingeniously imagined. It is a testament to the innovative spirit of Molteni&C.

To conclude the tour, a final kitchen area presents Vincent Van Duysen’s Intersection Island with Woody stools by Francesco Meda. Guests are invited to explore the ingenuity behind the Hector modular bookcase system. Notable pieces of furniture such as the Pannacotta coffee table by Ron Gilad, Van Duysen’s Paul sofa and Elain armchair, and Heritage-collection Blevio table seamlessly integrate luxury and hospitality.

The D.C. flagship store is a culmination of 90 years of Italian tradition and an homage to the master designers that have contributed to the Molteni&C legacy and art of living.
