Molteni - Teorema chest of drawers 8 elements

The Teorema project is the solid part of a void. It is the flip side of Grado°, the collection that explores the form of a void. It is the mould as design, the template transferred and shifted that becomes micro architecture, and exceeds all disciplinary boundaries.

Ron Gilad turns the chest of drawers featuring rotating elements in space into a storage unit where containment and open glass parts are stacked to create a single solid with a densely faceted surface.

The drawers can be placed in axis or unusually offset at 20° to the rest of the unit. The finish, either Canaletto Walnut or Eucalyptus, is a perfect combination of the micrometrical precision of the mechanical machining and the craftsmanship involved in folding and gluing the structural elements.

A unit made of American walnut with open compartments or drawers used as a single unit or stacked in a linear or offset mode, to create night tables, chests of drawers or modular systems for the living area.

Ron Gilad

Ron Gilad è nato nel 1972 a Tel Aviv. Dopo alcuni anni a New York, oggi vive e lavora tra Tel Aviv e Milano. Gli oggetti ibridi di Ron Gilad abbinano l’ingegno concreto al gioco estetico e si collocano sul confine fra l’astratto e il funzionale. Alla richiesta di una collaborazione con Molteni&C, Ron Gilad per prima cosa si chiese se dovesse comportarsi da designer o essere se stesso nel modo più autentico. Trova una risposta a questo interrogativo riuscendo a stabilire una connessione tra le sue idee artistiche più astratte e i meccanismi commerciali dell’industria, convertendoli in prodotti di geniale design.

Molteni

Angelo Molteni, born in 1912, began his entrepreneurial activity in Giussano, now the province of Monza and Brianza, the furniture district. His workshop becomes, in a short time, synonymous with high quality product. The 60s began in the best way, in fact Angelo Molteni is in the founding committee of the first Salone del Mobile in Milan, which opened on 24 September 1961 with great success. This is the decade of the revolution: in a few months, the production is converted from classic to modern, to create well-designed furniture, designed for the series. Luca Meda, a student of the Ulm School, is the man of the revolution, his Iride containers presented at the Salone del Mobile in 1968. From the 70s until today, Molteni grows, is renewed and concretizes in a definitive way its value, and the undisputed style in the world panorama. In 2008 the distribution expanded beyond the Italian borders and was structured with foreign branches. New molteni&c | Dada monobrand stores are opening: about 600 in the world, including 40 Flagship Stores, also present in the largest international design metropolises such as London and New York. Moltenigroup.com is born, the web address of the new website of the Molteni Group. Key words are narration, inspiration, contemporaneity of molteni&c and Dada brands. As of April 2016, Belgian architect and designer Vincent Van Duysen has been appointed creative director of molteni&c and Dada. After the success of the Gliss Master wardrobe collection, the new collaboration focuses on image coordination and the retail concept.
