Product description
The theorem of subtraction; a table with a silhouette which is apparently a single line. Yet again, Jean Nouvel has played with air and with construction technology. A metal table the strength of which lies in a play on corners and folds. Designed for the Fondation Cartier, Less is now a complete range of tables, low and high, rectangular and square. The classic lacquered version has now been joined by Less Light with its innovative aluminium structure covered with precious wood tops.

Ludwig conducts on the big stage
For the construction of the Paris Philharmonic Georg Ackermann, a company of carpenters, built an acoustic model on a scale of 1:10. In order to be able to simulate what the situation in the concert hall would later be as exactly as possible, it even has a large number of little puppets sitting in the audience wearing noise-absorbing clothing and little caps instead of hair.

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.
