Description

The Porta Volta chair, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, marks a new chapter in the long-standing collaboration between Molteni&C and the architectural studio, reinforcing their relationship with the Molteni Group. A special edition of this chair will be used in the reading room of the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem, a project also involving UniFor, a Molteni&C subsidiary, for the restyling of the main reading room with furnishings and library systems. The design of the Porta Volta chair features a balance between the upholstered seat and the rigid backrest, forming a U-shape, with a comb joint connecting the backrest to the frame and legs. These elements are angled to ensure stability, comfort, and support. The structure is crafted from high-quality solid wood, while the seat is generously padded with materials that offer exceptional comfort. The chair is available in a wide selection of fabrics, leathers, and mohair velvet, making it an elegant addition to various environments, including dining rooms, living rooms, and offices.

The brand is distinguished by innovative design, continuous research, and the adoption of advanced production techniques, supplying furnishings for museums, hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships, with collaborations from renowned designers such as Patricia Urquiola, Rodolfo Dordoni, Jean Nouvel, and Hannes Wettstein. Molteni&C received the prestigious Compasso d'Oro career award in 1994 and 2020, awarded by ADI (Association for Industrial Design). Since 2012, in collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives and under the artistic direction of Studio Cerri & Associati, it has exclusively reissued several iconic pieces by Gio Ponti, intended for private residences, special projects, or limited editions, faithfully respecting the original designs.
