Molteni - Walter armchair
Walter, designed by Vincent Van Duysen, has its roots in the craftsmanship tradition typical of Scandinavian countries.
A small armchair with a frame made entirely of solid ash, stained as black oak or eucalyptus, where the backrest is all one with the armrests.
Designed for a contemporary and convivial setting, the relaxed style of this little armchair is played out on its contrasts: the essential elegance of the frame contrasts with the softness of the seat.
Seat and backrest are completed with soft padding upholstered in fabric or leather, chosen from the wide range of the Molteni&C collections.
Vincent Van Duysen
Vincent Van Duysen was born in 1962, in Lokeren, Belgium and graduated in architecture from the Higher Institute of Architecture Sint-Lucas, in Ghent. From 1986 to 1989 he worked in Milan and Brussels. He opened his own studio in Antwerp, in 1990 focusing on architecture and interior design. The relationship between interior design and architecture in his work is profound. Furnishings and accessories are designed with an architectural perspective that is not limited by form, but was expressed with a careful perception of interior space and its relationship to the exterior architecture. By interpreting architecture and redefining its proportions, Van Duysen creates objects of great purity and simplicity that still retain a concrete character and solid form.
During his career, Van Duysen has received multiple awards among which the Flemish Culture Prize for Design, Belgian Designer of the Year and the Henry van de Velde Lifetime Achievement Award, and an EDIDA for Best Interior Designer of the Year. In 2021, the Winery VV has also been appointed and shortlisted for the Mies Van Der Rohe Award. His name was also been included in the AD100 survey by the Architectural Digest network and Elle Decor A-List multiple times.
In 2016, Van Duysen was appointed as creative director of Italian brands Molteni&C and Dada, reshaping their global image by designing flagship stores, exhibition stands and a series of new products. From 2018 to May 2020, he covered the role of art director at Sahco for Kvadrat, after which he has been collaborating as a senior designer.
Molteni
Angelo Molteni, classe 1912, inizia la sua attività imprenditoriale a Giussano, oggi provincia di Monza e Brianza, distretto del mobile. La sua bottega artigianale diventa, in poco tempo, sinonimo di prodotto di alta qualità. Gli anni 60 iniziano nel miglior dei modi, infatti Angelo Molteni è nel comitato fondatore del primo Salone del Mobile di Milano, che inaugura il 24 settembre 1961 con grande successo di pubblico. Questo è il decennio della rivoluzione: in pochi mesi, si converte la produzione dal classico al moderno, per realizzare mobili ben disegnati, pensati per la serie. Luca Meda, allievo della Scuola di Ulm, è l’uomo della rivoluzione, suoi i contenitori Iride presentati al Salone del Mobile nel 1968. Dagli anni 70 fino ad oggi, Molteni cresce, si rinnova e concretizza in maniera definitiva il proprio valore, e lo stile indiscusso nel panorama mondiale. Nel 2008 La distribuzione si allarga oltre i confini italiani e si struttura con filiali estere. Aprono nuovi negozi monomarca Molteni&C | Dada: circa 600 nel mondo, di cui 40 Flagship Store, presenti anche nelle più grandi metropoli internazionali del design come Londra e New York. Nasce moltenigroup.com, l'indirizzo web del nuovo sito del Gruppo Molteni. Parole chiave sono narrazione, ispirazione, contemporaneità dei brand Molteni&C e Dada. A partire da aprile 2016 l’architetto e designer belga Vincent Van Duysen è nominato direttore creativo dei brand Molteni&C e Dada. Dopo il successo della collezione di armadi Gliss Master la nuova collaborazione ha come focus il coordinamento dell’immagine e il concept retail.
