MHC.1

After a first limited reissue of 100 numbered pieces, it is now available in two new non-numbered versions, in the unpublished honey stained emien and black stained ash finishes.

MHC.1 is a reissue of the prototype of the first modern piece of furniture made by Molteni&C, the chest of drawers designed by Werner Blaser. It never went into production. However, it won the first prize in the international Cantù contest of 1955, the first “Selettiva,” convened to relaunch the productive Italian image. The jury court composed Gio Ponti, Alvar Alto, Romano Barocchi, Carlo de Carli, and Finn Juhl. The construction system is peculiar as it is based on a simple triple fork joint.
