#HouseOfMolteni

Homes that open up, people who tell their stories, tales that are written
– it’s the offline of real life that becomes the online of life shared on social
networks. In 2017, the House of Molteni project was recognised by the
ADI Italian Design Association in its annual Index contest. A project for social
communication, House of Molteni enjoys a second season this year, focusing
on London and New York – two of the most cosmopolitan cities of the world.
Who are the twelve cosmopolitan guests of House of Molteni 2019 ? They are
trendsetters and often millennials – metropolitan antennas who are sensitive and
connected. Their aspirations and tastes express their quest for things beautiful
and new, with a lifestyle that integrates ideas, cultures and styles, in which the
boundary between private and public life merges into a single story. The project
has several protagonists: the individual; their way of life; their homes; iconic
Molteni&C objects; and the city, read through their eyes and their perceptions.
The following pages offer a special guide to the places close to their hearts,
a privileged insight to help understand these great trend-setting cities and how
they influence lifestyles and contemporary culture. Rocco Forte and Betty Bachz,
both true Londoners are the first two protagonists of the new House of Molteni 2019.
