Molteni&C 2026 Collection: Softness, Balance, and Timeless Design by Vincent Van Duysen
midday gamfratesi
For 2026, Molteni&C presents a collection shaped by softness, balance, and quiet presence, an evolution guided by Creative Director Vincent Van Duysen. Rather than following trends, the collection refines a consistent language where architecture, material, and proportion come together with clarity. Within this broader offering, a series of key pieces highlights the direction of the collection.
In the living space, Van Duysen introduces the Julian modular sofa, a system defined by generous proportions and adaptability, allowing configurations to shift between intimate and more open arrangements. It is paired with the Eter coffee table, also by Van Duysen, where curved surfaces and a grounded base create a balance between lightness and structure. The Mollis stool continues this exploration, offering a more compact expression of material and form.
Edmond modular sofa
New perspectives emerge through international collaborations. Cristián Mohaded makes his debut with the Corsetto armchair, where soft upholstered volumes are held in tension by a structured leather framework. Christophe Delcourt contributes the Edmond modular sofa, Jeanne coffee table, and the Leonard and Armand armchairs, pieces defined by a sense of mass, tempered by restraint.
The dialogue extends with GamFratesi, who introduce the Atelia chair and Midday sideboard, alongside an extension of the Tibeau bedside table. Their work brings a layered sensibility, combining Nordic precision with Italian craftsmanship.
Jeanne coffee table
In the night area, Van Duysen’s LieLow bed offers a softer, more intimate expression, while lighting, from the Gio Ponti Oro floor lamp to newer designs, adds an atmospheric dimension.
These pieces sit within a larger, evolving collection, where each element contributes to a unified vision, one defined by continuity, material integrity, and a more considered approach to contemporary living.
