Product description
Hannes Wettstein's chair Alfa, once again on show at the most recent Furniture Fair with an innovative new SOFT-TOUCH finish, has flown through OUTDOOR use testing, making this Molteni&C classic yet more versatile.
The SOFT-TOUCH finish is available in 7 different colours (chalk white, black, amber, red, orange, aubergine and platinum). It's a polyurethane finish whose final effect is a surface pleasant to the touch.
Alfa has passed 14 tests under the regulations DIN - UNI - EN ISO for duration over time of a product destined for outdoor use.
Particular care has been paid to reactions to poor weather conditions, changes in temperature and high levels of salt and humidity in the atmosphere. Further attention has been given to surface resistance to bumps and scratches.
Born as an innovative high technology product, Alfa once again, with its reintroduction in this new finish and 7 new colours, confirms its identity as a state of the art product.

Molteni & C - Family business and elective affinities
In Italy, the institution of the family traditionally has a high standing, and keeping it together requires a constant, active entrepreneurial spirit. As such it is no wonder that precisely in Italy there is an above average number of family-run companies - and extremely successful ones at that.
In the case of Molteni & C, with a payroll of 250 the family business has long since reached corporate size, and is one of the most important manufacturers in the furniture industry. Its history is typical of such firms.
