MHC.1

MHC.1 celebrates Molteni&C’s pioneering spirit, reinterpreting the prototype of the company’s first modern furniture piece: Werner Blaser’s iconic chest of drawers. This re-edition honors the original’s innovative approach, where subtle details and precise craftsmanship converge. MHC.1 is a testament to the dialogue between mid-century modern vision and contemporary Italian living, bringing historical sophistication into today’s interiors.

The design is defined by a sculptural form that emphasizes clean lines and balanced proportions. Each drawer aligns with meticulous care, showcasing Blaser’s signature approach to geometry and rhythm harmonizing effortlessly with both classic and contemporary environments.

Craftsmanship is central to MHC.1. The chest features an unusual three-fork joint, a hallmark of ingenuity and structural refinement, highlighting the attention to detail and mastery of materials. Every surface and angle is executed with enduring precision.

Versatile in its presence, MHC.1 functions as both a practical storage solution and a sculptural object within the home. It bridges the legacy of Italian modernism with the warmth and pragmatism of contemporary design, offering a piece that is as expressive as it is functional.

An early collaborator of Molteni&C, Werner Blaser was an architect known for his modern furnishings.
