The Molteni group is one of Italy\u2019s leading international furnishings companies. <\/p>\n

The Molteni Museum was established in 2015, the year of the International Expo in Milan, to celebrate 80 years\u2019 history, innovation, research and quality, and thus contribute to the spread of design culture. Mounted by Jasper Morrison, with the image coordinated by Studio Cerri & Associati, the museum is located in the Group\u2019s headquarters in Giussano. It houses a permanent collection of 48 iconic products and original prototypes of the Group\u2019s companies: Molteni&C, Dada, Unifor and Citterio. Presented to the public for the fi rst time to coincide with the 80!Molteni exhibition at Milan\u2019s Galleria d\u2019Arte Moderna, the collection is enriched with new\u00a0fi nds, furniture and hitherto unpublished documents, designs and projects as well as communication and graphic material, along with constantly updated multimedia staging. <\/p>\n

The Museum is a dynamic place which fosters research and memory while stimulating dialogue and exchanges of ideas, a place where the numerous local and international communities that enjoy relations with Molteni can come together, a refl ection on the cultural and collective heritage and a symbol of the Group that has promoted the quality of things\u00a0Made in Italy all over the world. <\/p>\n

The seat of the museum highlights and testifies to the Group\u2019s history. The building itself was built as a factory at the end of the 1950s and used as a drying shed for sheared wood. Renovated in 1986 by Aldo\u00a0Rossi and Luca Meda, and then, in 2004, by Studio Cerri & Associati, it\u00a0preserves traces of its industrial past. The Molteni Museum is associated with Museimpresa \u2013 Associazione Italiana Archivi e Musei d\u2019Impresa \u2013\u00a0promoted by Assolombarda and Confindustria. <\/p>\n

A place devoted to the research, preservation and study of the Molteni\u00a0Group\u2019s cultural heritage, the Archive is based in an old country house, within the industrial complex. Set up in 2013, its purpose is to analyze, catalogue and fi le historical documents. Over four and a half thousand\u00a0items, that testify to the Group\u2019s past and its development, from products\u00a0to designs, from prototypes to paper and photographic materials, without\u00a0forgetting digital and oral sources, interviews and video interviews. <\/p>\n

The Archive proposes to open its doors to both scholars and members of the public, thanks to the creation of an online digital catalogue, linked\u00a0to the databases and websites of other institutions involved in researching and celebrating the history of Italian design. <\/p>\n

The Giussano Compound stretches over a surface area of 170,000 sq m, approximately 60,000 of which are covered and devoted to production and to the R&D center. It is here, since 1934, that Molteni&C\u2019s entire furniture\u00a0production cycle has taken place: from veneer to the finished products.\u00a0Manufacturing that has always been 100% Made in Italy, guaranteed by strict controls at every stage of the production process, for global quality acknowledged in over 80 countries in the world. <\/p>\n
