Molteni – Freestyle modular system sofa

Freestyle is a modular system that exploits the infinite possibility of matching between the various elements available, for the realization of linear and angular solutions with maximum dimensional freedom. The seats can be joined to backrests of different sizes symmetrically or asymmetrically. Playing with the colors of the coverings you can make combinations in alternating tones or more classic monochromatic solutions. Freestyle also includes two types of armrest: a classic element to be placed next to the structure that aligns with the height of the backrest or a side pillow that becomes a single body with the seat. In addition to the classic seats is also available a trapezoidal terminal and an island that allow you to further expand the possible shapes of the compositions. Freestyle is completed with additional back cushions in three sizes that can be used freely for quantity and type of fabric. The seam on the front of the seat and armrest gives the product an additional note of elegance.

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.
