Molteni&C realizes a project involving re-makes of furniture and furnishings designed by renowned 20th century maestro Gio Ponti. Works that have an innovative energy due to the form, technique and historic moment in which they were designed, and that caused a break with conventional tastes and language. Remaking implies being respectful to the soul of the design updating it. New technologies, new materials, new functionalsolutions, but respecting the original. Industrially produced furniture, for everyone, not limited editions, manufactured with the utmost attention to detail, material and proportions, in Ponti’s footprints but renewed, to live in contemporary homes alongside contemporary pieces.
