Molteni & C has revealed its 2026 outdoor collection, perfectly timed with the arrival of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. This new range embodies the brand's core philosophy, viewing outdoor areas not as separate entities but as natural extensions of the home. The collection prioritizes comfort, practicality, and design excellence, ensuring a harmonious transition between indoor and outdoor living.
Helmed by creative director Vincent Van Duysen, with collaborations from Yabu Pushelberg and Studio Dordoni, and incorporating lighting solutions from Vibia, the 2026 collection offers a complete system of furnishings and accessories. Each piece, from modular seating to dining sets and sculptural tables, is designed with a keen eye for detail, balancing structural lightness with formal precision. A highlight is Van Duysen's 'Soleva' series, inspired by the warmth of sunlight, which includes armchairs, dining elements, and a chaise longue. Its distinctive feature is a sleek, continuous tubular frame made from lightweight aluminum, available in 'Nuvia White' or 'Selva Green', complemented by marine plywood slats and concrete accents. The 'Soleva' sofa offers superior comfort with recyclable polyurethane cushions and water-repellent covers, while other pieces like the armchair, dining chair, and stackable sun bed echo its architectural elegance.
Further enhancing the collection, Studio Dordoni's 'Chelsea' range brings an interior aesthetic to outdoor settings, featuring aluminum structures with woven polypropylene rope backrests. Yabu Pushelberg contributes the foldable 'Club' chair, a versatile piece crafted from painted steel and a linen Batyline seat. The collection is completed with various accessories, including 'Dalia' tables, the 'Fronda' parasol, and portable lighting options developed with Vibia. Through these thoughtfully designed pieces, Molteni & C showcases that outdoor living can be both refined and high-performing, offering a sophisticated framework for enhanced living experiences.
This collection from Molteni & C transcends mere functionality, promoting a lifestyle where quality design and comfort extend seamlessly into every corner of one's home and beyond. It encourages a deeper appreciation for well-crafted environments, fostering spaces that inspire tranquility and connection with nature while upholding the highest standards of aesthetic and structural integrity.
