technical description
The handle is a crucial element marking the look of the doors and therefore the personality of the wardrobe. This is why Molteni presents Gliss 5th with 4 different door options offering an extremely wide range of possible aesthetical solutions. The Stripe door has the pregnancy of a line, a mark, able to cancel or set off the interplay of the doors. Whether continuous or broken, the design of the Stripe door provides a graphic and chromatic contrast: actually, the back of the cellulose acetate handle is available in 5 colours that can be freely matched to the finish of the front.
Both in the hinged and sliding versions, the Stripe doors are available in Wengé, Mutenye, Grey and Natural Oak wood, or lacquered: mat in any of the colours of the Molteni range, glossy in the colours chalk white, pearl, black. The glossy finish is obtained with 6 polyester paint coatings carefully brushed to achieve maximum shine. Guaranteed durability and beauty over the year.
Product description
The evolution of the species. Thanks to the innovative design of its interior structures, Gliss 5th can be custom designed like a tailor-made suit for every need. Its interior fittings can be moved without touching the fixture screws and make it easy to modify the wardrobe. Infinite configurations can be arranged to fit any new necessity and use the space in the best possible way. Different handles give different personalities to the wardrobe without foregoing the genuine nature of a true classic.
02 material/colour
Description of material/treatment
Generally employed to create exclusive spectacle frames, acetate is a rich, colourful and warm material, first introduced by Molteni into the world of design. In the Gliss 5th system, acetate is the finishing element of all the handles, thus becoming a colour mark, a counterpoint that interacts with the large surface of the doors.

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.
