Andrea Molteni, director of development at Dada, discusses the family legacy of Molteni&C and the design inspiration behind its Singapore showroom
For Andrea Molteni, the decision to join the family business was never a question of why, but when. “I’ve never really posed the question to myself to do something different,” he shares. “I was always fascinated with products, and how things work and get put together. It came very naturally to step into the business.”
Molteni is from the third generation of the founding family; the group operates the namesake furniture brand Molteni&C, office furnishing brands Unifor and Citterio, and kitchen systems brand Dada. Today, the group has showrooms in 10 countries; its Molteni&C | Dada store here recently moved to Winsland House.
