Product description
Arc's base is made of an innovative material which mixes cement and organic fibres. It is strong and elastic at the same time, waterproof and mass coloured in two shades, white and grey. Light and fluid, Arc has a round top in tempered glass with diameter 130, 140 or 150 cm, and oval 200 x 130 cm, in extra light finish.
Technology and contemporary style also feature in other products born of the firm's partnership with the prestigious London studio: the series Still (Molteni&C) and the kitchen Place (Dada).

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.
