Molteni is the leading independent industrial group in the high-end furniture sector with an Italian-made production. As well as collaborations with the most prestigious international architectural firms and designers, the Group constantly invests in research and technological innovation, giving its products an intrinsic quality that lasts the test of time. It includes three brands, Molteni&C (indoor and outdoor furniture, kitchens and bespoke furnishings), UniFor (workspace solutions) and Citterio (partition walls and office furniture). Founded in 1934 as an artisan workshop by Angelo and Giuseppina Molteni, in the 50s the company mutates its DNA and inaugurates the successful era of industrial design.

On the occasion of 3daysofdesign, Molteni&C presents a highlight and the inaugural collaboration with GamFratesi, the internationally acclaimed creative duo combining Stine Gam’s Danish roots and Enrico Fratesi’s Italian heritage. Their work stands out for the constant and curious dialogue between their respective cultures. With an open approach to influences and aesthetic crossovers, GamFratesi brings a fresh and innovative stylistic signature to the collection. Their minimalistic language never compromises on meticulous attention to detail and respect for tradition, enhanced by profound conceptual and technical research.

Kvik has been creating Danish design kitchens, baths and wardrobes at surprisingly low prices since 1983. In 2024, Kvik Living, a line of Danish design furniture, lighting and accessories that are the perfect companion to their kitchens, was launched. Kvik introduced The Sociable Kitchen® (Samtalekøkken®) in 1998 and made their mark on life in the kitchen. The philosophy behind it is simple — a space where the kitchen is the living heart of the home. Everyone has the right to a beautiful, Danish design kitchen and sustainability is for everyone. Every Kvik kitchen comes with a calculation that tells customers how much recycled wood and how many recycled plastic bottles were used to make it and the CO2e footprint of their kitchen.

MANU builds object-to-human relationships. Their objects are all ‘characters’ to live alongside — not bought and sold, but adopted. Working across waste streams, the material becomes both the starting point and the guide, allowing its limitations to shape the design of each object. They craft objects from PET bottles, lemon peels, or sand — depending on what’s available around them. MANU believes this philosophy can help us rediscover the value of finite raw materials, encouraging more respect and care for the objects we live with.
