The Molteni Porta Volta chair represents a milestone in the history of the collaboration between Molteni&C and the acclaimed architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron. The interaction between these two giants in the world of design and architecture has resulted in a creation that is not just a simple chair, but a symbol of innovation, tradition and craftsmanship.
With its sophisticated aesthetic and clean lines, the Molteni Porta Volta chair embodies the perfect compromise between functionality and beauty. The chair received the honor of being selected to adorn the main reading room of the prestigious National Library of Israel, located in the heart of Jerusalem, a choice that underscores the timeless elegance and versatility of this piece.
UniFor, an affiliated brand of Molteni&C, had the privilege of revisiting the entire reading room, from bookcase arrangement to furniture, ensuring a perfect synergy between the spaces and objects. The goal was to create an environment that was not only functional, but also welcoming and stimulating, where every element contributed to an atmosphere of serenity and concentration.
The Molteni Porta Volta chair and the renovation of the reading room represent a testament to the craftsmanship, vision and passion that Molteni&C, Herzog & de Meuron and UniFor share in creating spaces and objects of exceptional beauty and functionality.
