Across Molteni&C’s 2026 Collection, the home is imagined not as a series of separate rooms but as a continuous landscape of experience. Rounded forms guide the eye from one surface to the next, while timber, fabric and lacquered finishes are brought into dialogue through light, proportion and craftsmanship. The result is a collection that feels quietly assured – refined without being austere, expressive without ever feeling overstated.

The Physis kitchen reflects Molteni&C’s ongoing ability to bring architectural rigour into the rituals of daily life.

At the centre of this language is the Physis kitchen by Vincent Van Duysen. Defined by rounded edges, half-bullnose detailing and open compartments, the kitchen reflects Molteni&C’s ongoing ability to bring architectural rigour into the rituals of daily life. Integrated lighting enhances the curved forms and material depth, creating a composition that feels both highly functional and deeply atmospheric.

Van Duysen’s Julian sofa continues this exploration of softness and structure. Conceived as a modular system, Julian is distinguished by its undulating back cushion and contrast piping, which traces the profile of the piece with quiet precision. Its adaptability allows for intimate arrangements or expansive configurations, reinforcing the idea of furniture as something that responds to space rather than simply occupying it.

This dialogue between comfort and form is further explored in Corsetto, an armchair by Cristián Mohaded. With its pillowy volumes and disciplined frame, the piece suggests a tension between restraint and release. Its name, evoking a corset, speaks to a formal language that holds, supports and envelops the body.

Naoto Fukasawa’s Bosco armchair brings a more organic sensibility to the collection. Inspired by the rolling hills of Tuscany, the swivel chair is characterised by soft lines, generous volumes and a sense of quiet ease. It is a piece designed to settle naturally within its surroundings, offering comfort through both form and feeling.

Together, the 2026 Collection reflects Molteni&C’s enduring commitment to design as a total environment. Guided by material intelligence and a deep understanding of how people move through a space, the collection offers a vision of the home shaped by intimacy, continuity and lasting elegance.
