Encompassing linear sofas, angular compositions, chaises longues, and islands, Paul celebrates the understated sophistication of contemporary living, offering versatile seating solutions that harmonize effortlessly within both intimate and expansive interiors.
Designed by Vincent Van Duysen, Octave is a modular sofa system characterized by rigorous shapes - a subtle study of proportions, creating a graphic interplay of geometric volumes. It’s inspired by wide skyscraper windows that offer breathtaking views over cosmopolitan megacities while comfortably seated on inviting sofas.
With the Alisee coffee table, designer Matteo Nunziati gives form to a vision of expressive rationality — an approach where clarity of design becomes a language of elegance. The piece reflects the architect’s ability to balance precision with warmth, offering furniture that feels both essential and deeply human. In Alisee, restraint is not minimalism but refinement, the kind that allows spaces to breathe while elevating their atmosphere.

Inspired by the delicate precision of origami, Patricia Urquiola’s Diamond table transforms distinctive folds into a sculptural expression of contemporary elegance. The table's finely articulated legs create a sense of lightness, while the geometric harmony of the square or rectangular top grounds the design in balance and sophistication. Diamond was recipient of the Red Dot “Best of the Best” in 2005 and featured in the 2005 ADI Index.
The Chelsea chair by Rodolfo Dordoni thoughtfully blends contemporary design and timeless tradition, offering a seat that feels both modern and rooted in cultural memory.

Conceived as a series of storage units that celebrate both lightness and clarity, the Adrien single unit by Vincent Van Duysen transforms everyday displays into a subtle act of curation. With a focus on pure geometry and meticulous craftsmanship, Adrien invites the viewer to experience objects as sculptural elements, framed by glass, aluminum, and carefully considered lighting.
The Dedalo rug by Marta Ferri celebrates the beauty of geometry and subtle color, offering a refined presence that gracefully enriches contemporary living spaces. The design balances rigorous structure with elegant hues, blending seamlessly into everyday life. This piece marks Molteni&C’s first collaboration with Maison Pierre Frey, a name synonymous with craftsmanship and textile heritage.
Inspired by monumental architecture, Vincent Van Duysen’s Living Box single unit translates the grandeur of buildings, concert halls, and monumental spaces into a sculptural, domestic object. Designed as a self-standing furniture element, it combines elegance with versatility, offering a refined storage solution for contemporary living spaces. Living Box transforms storage into an architectural statement, balancing practicality with a cinematic presence in the home.
The Gliss Master by Vincent Van Duysen redefines the art of organization with a wardrobe system that combines bespoke tailoring, refined materials, and thoughtful design.

Every component, from doors and shelves to accessories and finishes, can be personalized, allowing each Gliss Master to become a unique reflection of its owner’s style.
The Anton bench by Vincent Van Duysen exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship paired with refined materials for a serene and elegant bedroom accent piece.
