Rodolfo Dordoni designs  Beds, Chairs, Tables, Wardrobes.
Rodolfo Dordoni is polite and elegant, like his designs, which range from art direction to industrial design, from refurbishments to exhibition and showroom fittings.
After graduating in Architecture at the Milan Politecnico in 1979, Dordoni started working in the world of design. He specialised in image strategy, from product to communication. He has been Art Director of firms like Artemide, for its glass collection, Cappellini, FontanaArte (for its furnishings), Foscarini and Minotti.

For Molteni&C. he has designed various collections of furniture, from the small armchairs Lyz to the table Leaf, from the container system Look to the Lean chairs. His matching element furnishing systems are particularly important: Glide is a series of sliding panels, dividing elements for separating the various areas of the home.Stack is a wardrobe with an articulated system of drawers and shelves which slide up and down vertical runners and mean that each individual can personalise wardrobe space.–

Nicola Gallizia designs Tables

He designed the collection Domino for Molteni&C in 2004.
In 2005 he opened the studio CZ36 in Milan, from where he designs and creates interiors.

Ferruccio Laviani designs Sofas and armchairs
rIrony, playfulness and passion for design. A pupil of the great Italian design teacher Achille Castiglioni, Ferruccio Lariani represents a new direction in design.
Pietro Ferruccio Laviani was born in Cremona in 1960. After graduating in Architecture at the Milan Politecnico, he became a partner of the De Lucchi studio in 1986.
He was exhibition designer for “Technique discretes. Le design du mobilier italien 1980-1990” at the Louvre and worked with Memphis, taking part in the “12 nuovi Memphis” collection.
In 1991 he started working with Kartell as Artistic Director, and then with Flos, Tisettanta, Moroso, Piombo and Pandora Design. In 1997 he worked with Achille Castiglioni on the important show dedicated to Giò Ponti and Vico Magistretti. In the same year he designed the new De Padova image for the showroom in Corso Venezia, Milan. 2001 saw the start of a partnership with the fashion designers Dolce&Gabbana, for whom he designed the corners and the interiors of their new headquarters in Via Goldoni, Milan.
From 1999 to the present, he has worked with Dada on the kitchens Quadrante, Vela Quadra and Hi-Line. For Molteni&C. Laviani has designed the seating systemHi-Bridge and Hi-Cove, the brand name store in Milan and the fittings for the 2006 Furniture Exhibition. With Luca Meda, he designed other important pieces for the Molteni collection such as the container series Convivio and the Freestyle seating system.

Luca Meda designs Chairs, Tables
Luca Meda is an important name in the history of Italian industry, and has contributed to the design culture of the Molteni Group with great passion. An example of harmonic partnership between creativity and business, art and industry. Almost a paradox for a designer who loves design and used the pencil more than any other instrument to describe and reinvent reality.
Luca Meda was born in Chiavari by chance – his family spent their holidays there. He grew up and studied in Milan, graduating from the Brera Art School. He loved the centre of Milan and its urban landscape. Its monuments, its anonymous houses, the near invisible interiors and the good quality objects inside them all contributed to his emotional growth and development.
He then studied in Germany, at the Hochschule fur Gestaltung in Ulm, one of the most prestigious international design schools, founded in 1954 by Inge Scholl-Aicher and directed by Max Bill.
His encounter with Aldo Rossi is a crucial moment. Together they opened a studio and took part in numerous competitions, such as that for the Contemporary History Museum in Milan.
Since the late seventies, Luca Meda has been working on design and mass produced series. His main partnership is with the Molteni Group.
His designs for Molteni&C. include a series of furnishings which are now considered icons, such as the Piroscafo bookcase designed with Aldo Rossi, the Zim and Hochairs, the armchairs Hi Cove and Vivette and the 505 programme. Meda has also created furnishing systems such as Pass, which allows the client to match simple and elegant open containers, sideboards, bookcases, benches and shelves, and909, a flexible system of chests of drawers.

Jean Nouvel designs  Tables, Sofas and armchairs
Initially Jean Nouvel dreamed of becoming a painter, but in the end he chose architecture, for him “visual art, production and imagination”. Jean Nouvel is the last of the existentialists, black is his colour, cinema his inspiration. He is an architect of the present moment.
Jean Nouvel opened his studio after graduating from the National School of Fine Art in Paris in 1972. His turning point arrived in 1981, when he won the competition for the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris. Since then he has received a number of awards, such as the Grand Prix National d’Architecture, the Gold Medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects, and the Leone d’oro from the Venice Biennial. In 2008 he won the prestigious Pritzker Award, the ‘Nobel prize’ in the field of architecture.
The aim of the Atelier Jean Nouvel is to develop an “architecture of design”, to design objects which are suited to the spirit of the age. Nouvel’s first approach to design stemmed from the necessity of creating objects for his own architecture: the Less tables for example, produced by Molteni & C., were created for the Paris headquarters of the Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain. At times it is the furniture which takes on the lines of an architectural structure, becoming almost a miniature building, like the Graduate bookcase, a system of shelves in wood and aluminium supported by a complex system of invisible hooks. The house becomes an urban landscape, defined by simple, linear, minimal architectonic structures.
But Jean Nouvel has never forgotten his passion for art, still visible in his design: the sofa SKiN is a “sculpted” furnishing, where decoration becomes structure. Like his latest Parisian creation, the Quai Branly Museum.

Arik Levy designs Beds, Tables, Sofas and armchairs
Arik Levy, born 1963 in Tel Aviv, Israel, studied industrial design at Art Center College of Design in La Tour de Peilz, Switzerland. He taught at the École Nationale Supérieur de Création Industrielle / Les Ateliers, Paris, and led design workshops at various design schools in Europe. At the same time he created stage sets for modern dance performances at the Grand Theatre in Geneva, for the Netherlands Dance Theatre, the Finnish National Ballet and the BatSheva Dance Centre in Israel. In 1997, he co-founded the firm “L design” with Pippo Lionni.

Aldo Rossi  designsChairs
“Perhaps I’m a snob, but the more I travel the world, the more I feel that I’m a citizen of it, and the more I revert to a traditional sense of things. Your home country is the gate to your home and the gate to the world”. Aldo Rossi and his architecture, mystery and traditional sense of things. But at the same time the most contemporary Italian architect of the twentieth century, the only one, along with Renzo Piano, to receive the Pritzker Prize (the Nobel of architecture), in 1990.
Aldo Rossi designs, creates, writes and teaches. After graduating in architecture in 1949 from the Milan Politecnico, he began working with Ignazio Gardella and Marco Zanuso. In 1969 Carlo Aymonino invited him to create part of the “Monte Amiata” complex in the Gallaratese district of Milan. At that point Aldo Rossi started out with his competitions and largescale designs and started winning widespread acclaim. In 1996 he was nominated Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters (AAAL) in New York.
Aldo Rossi still teaches in Italy, Switzerland and the USA and has filled a number of prestigious positions, such as Director of the Architecture Section of the 1983 Venice Biennial. During that period he designed a number of items which became twentieth-century icons, such as the Alessi coffee pots.
His work with the Molteni Group includes design objects and furnishings created for projects such as the Maastricht Museum in 1994 and the Carlo Felice Theatre in Genoa. In 1980 Aldo Rossi designed the Cabina dell’Elba for Molteni&C, a synthesis of his poetry, along with the chairs Teatro and Milano. Then cameCarteggio, Piroscafo, Domino, Providence and a number of other furnishing designs. The latest is the refurbishment of the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, to Aldo Rossi’s competition winning design.

Patricia Urquiola designs Beds, Chairs, Tables, Sofas and armchairs
A legend of Italian design, cultivated and elegant, with an extrovert Spanish temperament. This is the secret to Patricia Urquiola’s success. A designer who has given new meaning to living, classic and informal, intimate and versatile. Like her chairs and armchairs, soft and undulating.
Patricia Urquiola was born in Oviedo, Spain. After studying at the Facultad de Arquitetura in Madrid, she graduated in 1989 from the Milan Politecnico under the supervision of Achille Castiglioni. In 1991 she worked on the De Padova product development, where she met Vico Magistretti. In 1993 she opened a studio with partners M. de Rienzo and E. Ramerino developing interior, showroom and restaurant design. In 2001 she opened her own studio, taught seminars at the Domus Academy Designing Exhibition in Australia and started acting as a member of the jury in important international competitions such as the 19th CDIM Award. She still works as a designer for large companies, creating products able to catch the public’s attention. “I understand how much my design pleases the public by how many people touch it,” she says. “I need people to approach it, want to touch it. I like the object to inspire active curiosity.” Philippe Daverio is right when he says that tomorrow’s design is female, Spanish and colourist.
Patricia Urquiola has created several designs and collections for Molteni&C. Gloveis a seating family completely upholstered in microfibre, fabric or leather “worn” by a metal structure. Clip is an original double bed. The table Diamond won the Red Dot Award as best product for 2005.

Hannes Wettstein designs Beds, Chairs, Wardrobes , Tables, Sofas and armchairs
Severe and perfect, Switzerland is a wonderful place to escape from. Hannes Wettstein knows this well, living there and travelling elsewhere with his designs. Born in 1958, Wettstein is one of the most interesting designers of his generation, a fact witnessed by the many prizes and competitions he has won, including the 2004 Compasso d’Oro for the Nomis kitchen designed for Dada. His success is in large part due to his curiosity regarding materials and all forms of creativity. From products to communication, from industrial design to architecture. Furniture, watches, lights. Long live the product seems to be his motto.
He has worked for the Grand Hyatt hotel chain in Berlin, he designed the Swiss Embassies in Teheran and Washington DC, he has worked in partnership with international design companies: Cassina, UMS Pastoe, Shimano, Baleri Italia, Artemide and the Molteni Group.
He started out working freelance, and then became a partner of the Eclat Design Agency. In 1993 he co-founded 9D Design. But it is with his own studio, an interdisciplinary laboratory Zed, that Wettstein really develops his all-round ability as a designer and architect, taking care of company images and creating architectural designs.
For Molteni&C. Hannes Wettstein has designed various products, including the chairAlfa, made from avant-garde material, a resin-polyester composite reinforced with fibreglass, the chair Dart, ergonomic and inviting, the Joseph tables, useful and minimal, and beds which have become classics like Dodicesimanotte Q and theWave series.

Molteni Design Team designs Beds, Tables, Sofas and armchairs
The Molteni Design Team is at the technological heart of Molteni&C., and has always been at the centre of the company’s research and development projects. The Centre conducts research into the avant-garde materials, mechanisms and mechanical movements which make Molteni&C. products unique both for their design and for their reliability in time, two guarantees of Molteni quality.
More than ten highly specialised technicians now work in the wood and the soft furnishings departments.
Along with research geared towards quality mass production of Molteni designs, the Team has designed and built a series of systems, furnishings and soft furnishings, unique in their severe look and functional precision. Among these are the table Rialto, the series of beds Twing, the small armchairs Clipper and Francine and the innovative Gliss5th, the system which has revolutionised the traditional world of wardrobe.

Here’s what’s happening from the furniture store standpoint.

Before the economic downturn, modern furniture stores thought everything was going well. Real estate sales were high, which meant people were trying to purchase new homes all the time and they were going to furnish those homes once they moved in. That gave furniture companies all the incentive they needed to keep their showrooms stocked, wall-to-wall, with great things for all those new homeowners to buy.

Then the market turned. Home sales started dropping and people were not purchasing a new place to live, which meant they no longer needed those bedroom furniture sets and all those other furniture items for their homes. This left the furniture stores with a glut of inventory and not nearly as much money coming in the front door to pay for it all.

Had this just been for a couple months it would have been one thing, but it was not. As we all know, the economic downturn has been going on for a while and the long-term effect of that has been more and more strain on furniture companies.

Sadly a number of them have not been able to make it through this time. They have had to close their doors. If this is happening to stores around you, you may be able to use their sad story to your benefit. As these stores are going out of business, they usually hold a final going out of business sale to try and move any inventory they can and make some of their money back. If you are watching for these sales, you may be able to get a hold of whole bedroom sets at deep discounts, even as low as you may have expected to just purchase the bed for.

For those stores that have been able to hold on through this time, they still need sales. This means you can often name your price, or at least negotiate to a better price in the store. Talk to your sales person. Tell them the kind of bedroom furniture you want, but also let them know you have a limited budget. You may be pleased to see how much they can bend to make that sale you want at a price you like.

Unfortunately, many of these styles quickly end up looking dated. The colors of the fabric may go out of style, overly styled furnishings may not age gracefully and cushions and springs begin to sag from continual wear and tear.

Before you know it, the furniture ends up in a thrift store or second hand shop, waiting for some passerby to take pity on it.

If you’ve ever walked through the aisles of these used furniture shops, you’ll quickly notice that modern furniture can rarely be found. If you happen upon a piece, rest assured you have a rare treasure.

The reason modern furniture is tough to find on the second hand market is because it is both classic and timeless. It never goes out of style. Combined with its superior construction, intelligent design and use of top quality materials, modern furniture transcends fads in fashion.

When selecting modern furniture for your home, you want to adhere to the creed of Modernism: “Form follows function.” In other words, comfort is key in any design. Any piece of modern furniture must be first comfortable, then fashionable.

Comfort is rarely the main focus of other styles of furniture that you’ll find in some furniture stores. If you’ve ever sat in an overstuffed couch, for example, you’ll soon find that you can rarely sit back fully and still have your feet touch the floor. That’s because the look of the sofa is more important than its comfort.

That’s not to say that modern furniture isn’t attractive. Hardly! Some of the most enduring and classic designs in the furniture world were created by the legends of furniture design: Eileen Gray, Charles and Ray Eames, Ludwig Mies Van De Rohe, and Le Corbusier. Many of their visionary works are just as popular today as they were when they were first introduced. A design that came on the scene 70 or even 100 years ago still looks fresh today.

Like great art, modern furniture only increases in value, at least from an aesthetic standpoint. Over the years, it becomes an integral part of the home, a focal point of beauty, harmony and tranquility. But it never becomes boring. Like a classic work of art by Picasso or Monet, you always see something new in your modern furniture. It intrigues the eye and challenges the mind.

Perhaps that’s why modern furniture continues to be so popular. It is a trendsetter without being trendy. It is classic, yet fresh and contemporary. And most of all, it is true to its roots – that form (design) follows function (comfort). It’s a pity that many manufacturers can’t seem to remember this basic tenet of furniture design.

Sure, you can continue to make due with the furniture you have. But did you know that the current state of the economy makes it a great time to buy a new bedroom furniture set.

Imagine having a cohesive look to your bedroom where everything matches perfectly. And you don’t have to shop at an IKEA or Ashley Furniture for discount furniture. Many of the top quality furniture stores are offering great deals on superior quality modern furniture, if you know where to look.

Part of the reason is that bedroom sets or complete suites have become very popular in recent years. As such, bedroom furniture is available with a bed frame, dressers, armoires and nightstands that are all perfectly matched. Modern furniture goes one better, allowing you to mix and match designs and color schemes, knowing that they will still all look unified since that’s the very essence of modern bedroom furniture design.

If you’re a savvy shopper, you can find great bargains without having to turn to bargain-level furniture. The old adage that “you get what you pay for” is still true, even in a down economy. But you will get more for what you pay for if you do your homework.

When shopping for bedroom furniture, be sure to have the space you’re furnishing in mind. You want to make sure that the set or the pieces in a mix and match set will look right in the room. It’s easy to get carried away when shopping and you don’t want to end up with oversized pieces that will make your bedroom look small.

And remember the old interior design philosophy. Dark colors on the walls can make a room look larger and lighter furniture can make a room look larger as well, particularly when it is contrasted with the darker wall scheme.
