During Paris Design Week 2025, Molteni&C presented its 2025 Indoor Collection at the Paris Flagship Store, marking the French debut of the Emile sofa by Christophe Delcourt. The exhibition also offered an exclusive preview of the brand's first-ever Objects Collection, following its global reveal earlier this year in Milan.

"With the 2025 Collection, Molteni&C marks the beginning of a prestigious collaboration with Christophe Delcourt, a master in the art of interpreting materials and blending them with the finest craftsmanship techniques. Delcourt creations serve as an authentic aesthetic manifesto, where the boundaries between industrial production and craftsmanship dissolve to give life to creations of extraordinary comfort and refined elegance," the company stated.
The Emile sofa was showcased alongside other designs by Delcourt, including the Maylis, Fleur, Odile, Lea, Lise, and Penelope tables and consoles. These pieces embody his refined approach to materiality and craftsmanship.
Also featured were works by GamFratesi, the Danish-Italian design studio founded by Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi. Their contributions included the Tibeau bed and Lia armchair, which fuse Scandinavian and Mediterranean traditions. Creative Director Vincent Van Duysen, who curated the overall collection, added the Aria desk, reinforcing Molteni&C's vision of timeless, contemporary interiors.
The collection further highlighted the return of the Monk chair, originally designed in 1973 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa and last produced in 1990. Presented in both chair and armchair versions, its reintroduction reflects the brand's ongoing commitment to honouring design heritage.
After its world premiere at the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan, the Objects Collection was unveiled in a Flagship Store setting for the first time. Curated by Elisa Ossino, the installation echoes the Milanese presentation and showcases pieces designed by Gio Ponti, created in collaboration with his heirs and archive.
Described as "catalysers of a new lifestyle," the collection includes hands, Etruscan objects, horses, birds, wooden bottles, trays, flower vases, and candleholders. These designs are the result of a lengthy process of research and prototyping, bridging past and present while enriching contemporary living spaces.
With the 2025 Collection and Objects launch, Molteni&C underlines its role as a global ambassador of Italian design, combining craftsmanship, innovation, and heritage to shape modern interiors.
