Molteni&C is a prestigious Italian brand renowned for its high-end furniture and kitchen solutions, combining timeless elegance with cutting-edge design. With a legacy dating back to 1934, the brand is celebrated for its craftsmanship, innovation, and collaborations with world-class designers and architects.

The Agency Costa Rica was invited to an exclusive preview of the newly opened Molteni&C showroom, the iconic Italian interior design brand now present in Avenida Escazú. Guided by Melissa Lacayo, luxury specialist, and Renée, Molteni&C representative, we explored how timelessness, sophistication, and functionality come together in this space that redefines how we live and design.

Molteni&C stands out for its commitment to creating pieces that last a lifetime. From outdoor furniture like the Palimpsest sofa redesigned by Vincent Van Duysen, to iconic chairs by Gio Ponti, each piece is crafted to transcend trends. Italian design is reflected not only in the aesthetics but in the materials, craftsmanship, and refined function that define the brand’s philosophy.

One of Molteni&C’s key strengths is its high level of personalization. Clients can choose fabric colors for a sofa, select finishes for kitchen islands, or design custom walk-in closets. Lighting, shelves, and dividers can all be tailored to their lifestyle. “We want spaces to speak to the people who live in them,” Renée explains. This philosophy even extends to the store itself. It was designed entirely by Molteni&C, including a unique Oikos wall finish created exclusively for the Costa Rican showroom.

While Molteni&C focuses on timeless design, it also embraces today’s interior trends: warm materials, organic curves, and emotional comfort. From curved furniture lines to natural finishes like wood and leather, each element contributes to a space that feels both refined and deeply personal.

The brand places strong emphasis on craftsmanship, with furniture that includes hand-finished details, fine textures, and high-end materials. As Renée explains, “It’s not just about shapes, it’s about the origin, the making, and how the furniture makes you feel.”

While the flagship store is located in Avenida Escazú, Molteni&C also supports projects in Guanacaste through a dedicated local team. Samples, catalogs, and visual presentations are available for clients and architects interested in luxury design. A new showroom is also in the works to serve the increasing interest for coastal homes and boutique hospitality.

For clients building or redesigning luxury homes in Costa Rica, the collaboration between The Agency Costa Rica and Molteni&C offers the best of both worlds: real estate expertise and world-class interior design. The process often starts with a core concept, whether from the client or their architect. It begins with focal areas like the kitchen or main living space. From there, a complete design proposal evolves, ensuring harmony between fixed furnishings, personal style, and architectural identity.
