At Milan Design Week 2025, Molteni&C unveiled its 2025 Collection—a refined tribute to the architectural and cultural heritage of Milan. Curated by Vincent Van Duysen, the collection reimagines archival designs from the 1970s and ’80s with contemporary clarity and restraint. Its debut was marked by the opening of Palazzo Molteni on Via Manzoni 9, Milan (read here) , a new seven-story flagship that blends exhibition space with cultural narrative. Complementing the launch, the “Letters to Milan” installation at Museo Poldi Pezzoli, conceived by Studio Klass, offered an immersive experience reflecting the city’s layered identity through architecture, art, and design. The unveiling of Molteni&C’s 2025 Collection also marked the introduction of new designs by Vincent Van Duysen, Creative Director of Molteni&C: Aria (writing desk), Linea (armchair),
Highlights of collection include a prestigious collaboration with Christophe Delcourt, GamFratesi, Yabu Pushelberg, Tobi Scarpa and Marta Ferri.

The collection by Vincent Van Duysen: A Vision of Seamless Refinement
For the 2025 Collection, Creative Director Vincent Van Duysen continues to articulate his signature language of quiet elegance and functional clarity. With an eye on the evolving rhythms of contemporary life—particularly the blending of work and living spaces—Van Duysen introduces pieces that subtly elevate the Molteni&C universe, deepening its architectural coherence and tactile sophistication.

Aria
Aria Writing Desk
With Aria, Van Duysen reimagines the writing desk as a refined domestic presence—minimalist yet warm. Defined by a single folded sheet structure and clad in tactile Ecoskin in four earth-toned hues, Aria pairs structural precision with a soft, welcoming finish. A discreet drawer and gently tapered wooden base complete the piece, making it equally suited for quiet study corners or seamlessly integrated into living spaces.

Aria
Linea Armchair
Compact and light in presence, the Linea armchair bridges past and present. Its proportions nod to classic design, while its understated profile aligns with the calm continuity that defines Van Duysen’s vision for Molteni&C—where every piece, however modest, contributes to a larger atmosphere of effortless sophistication.
