Product description
Turner, the new seating system designed by the Swiss designer Hannes Wettstein, combines comfort with refinement. Balanced volumes, controlled proportions, and a modern yet timeless look, characterise the design. Turner responds to varying needs in terms of comfort and posture, thanks to an easy mechanism which adjusts the depth of the seating. The sofa changes from formal space to relaxing island. Turner is an excellent solution to the problem of how to combine elements thanks to a design logic based on modularity for traditional sofas, compositions with chaises longues and daybed islands.

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.
