Margou Molteni&C 2021MOLTENI&C

Vincent Van Duysen’s new project for Molteni&C has materialized in an iconic and innovative work. The Margou armchair is the ideal embodiment of the Belgian designer’s constant search for formal exasperation and aesthetic freshness.

The construction of the seat and backrest skillfully combines aesthetics and ergonomics: the connection between the board of the supporting structure and the textile/leather part of the upholstery merge in a harmonious craftwork design.

“The Margou recalls well-known types of armchair designs. However, a closer look reveals generous and sensual shapes that distinguish it while anchoring it firmly in our time.”
- Vincent Van Duysen

The structure is given relevance, highlighted and exaggerated in the joint sections, making all the harmonious parts hypothetically fused into one piece, balancing the structural forces of the product.
