MHC.2 By Molteni & C.
Collection: Heritage
Designer: Yasuhiko Itoh
Manufacture year: 1959
Type: Open wooden shelving unit
MHC.2 is made entirely in curved wood with American walnut finish and available in two heights. MHC.2 is a re-edition of the bookcase prototype designed in 1959 by Yasuhiko Itoh. Made in curved wood, a complex process for that time period, it won an award at the 3rd edition of the Selettiva competition in Cantù del 1959. This piece is both elegant and refined. After issuing a limited edition run of 100 numbered pieces, this item is now available as a standard, non-numbered piece in curved wood covered in walnut. Molteni&C is re-examining its own history with an eye to the future. The 80!Molteni exhibition, the creation of the company’s historical archive and its recently inaugurated Molteni Museum have provided an opportunity for revival, from the origins of modernity. Intriguing traces have emerged from a past that turns out to be contemporary, ripe for a re-think today. Unique pieces that can step straight out of their museum showcases and into our contemporary homes.
