"Our Contract division supports a team of architects and technical experts who are able to work constructively and dynamically alongside designers, construction companies or shipbuilders to develop and create interior fittings and furnishings. They use both standard Molteni&C products - modified where necessary to comply with specific requirements in terms of dimensions, finishes and technical details - and tailor-made products together with “turn-key” solutions. The Molteni Group has carried out important projects all over the world, creating bespoke furnishings for hotels, restaurants, residences, boutiques, clinics, libraries, theatres and offices, offering both fixed and loose furniture.
This includes Molteni&C Dada Engineered kitchens, often coordinated with finishes and details of the Molteni&C furnishings.
