KALPA Art Director Olga Niescier discusses her curatorial practice and the founding values of the art consultancy project for the Molteni&C Flagship Stores in New York and Miami.

Discreet Alpine villas and historic landmark hotels in Italy, Switzerland, and Belgium embrace Molteni&C’s timeless elegance, marrying distinctive design with a warm feeling of home.

As we approach the end of the year, the mind begins to turn towards the holidays, and all the opportunities they bring for families and friends to come together, break bread and celebrate.

From the cliffs of Amalfi to the quiet stone quarries of Sicily, these extraordinary retreats are proof of how Molteni&C brings Italian design excellence to places shaped by light, history, and a slower rhythm of life.

Ponti believed that architecture should serve the lives of its occupants, creating environments that inspire and enrich daily living, and all of the life that he imagined the house would contain is scribbled on to this large sheet of tracing paper. 

The Belgian architect and designer Vincent Van Duysen has become synonymous with one word: serenity.

Mario Carrieri published his Milano, Italia (1959) photo book, a cinematic portrayal of Milan from its barren suburbs to the dark glamour of the city centre, when he was only 27 years old.

The Power Station of Art (PSA) is the first – and currently only – state-owned contemporary art museum in mainland China.

When Monk re-enters Molteni&C’s catalogue this year, it will mark 35 years since the chair was last in production. “Designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, ‘Monk’ is simple and solid,” reads the company’s 1990 catalogue.
