An evening of design, conversation, and a well-curated crowd marked the launch of Molteni&C’s flagship store in Mumbai, introduced to India by Vivono Designs. The event brought together architects, designers, and industry insiders, all stepping into a space that felt closer to a lived-in home than a showroom. The store revealed itself in layers through the evening. Guests moved through a series of interconnected settings, where living, dining, and kitchen spaces unfolded with an easy rhythm. Molteni&C’s design language came through clearly in the details, from the precision of its storage systems to the material palette that balanced warmth with restraint. Nothing felt overstated, yet everything held attention.

What stood out was how naturally the space invited interaction. Conversations gathered around dining tables, wardrobes were opened and explored, and kitchens became points of pause. It set the tone for what the brand does best, creating environments that feel complete, where design is experienced rather than observed from a distance. The evening also reflected a larger shift in the market. There is a growing awareness among Indian clients, with a sharper eye for quality and a deeper understanding of design. The arrival of Molteni&C feels timely, offering a point of reference for those looking at long-term, well-crafted interiors. Alessandro Ficco, Asia Pacific Director of Molteni&C, captured the brand’s spirit best when he said, “Molteni is defined by a balance of innovation, research, and design, shaped by strong family values and a global community that shares and advances design culture.”

Speaking at the launch, Founder of Vivono Designs, Manish Khemka shared the intent behind bringing the brand to Mumbai. “This flagship address marks a defining chapter for us, as we bring Molteni&C’s heritage of refined Italian design to the very heart of Mumbai’s luxury landscape. Our vision has always been to seamlessly unite global excellence with India’s discerning sensibilities, and this space is a poetic expression of that belief. Through Vivono, we look forward to engaging with the country’s vibrant design connoisseurs and curating timeless, elevated living experiences that feel both rare and deeply personal.”

COO of Vivono Designs, Shashi Nagpal echoed this sentiment, pointing to the evolving nature of the audience. “The launch of the Molteni&C flagship store in Mumbai reflects the growing maturity of India’s luxury design market. At Vivono Designs, we are proud to partner with a brand that represents the pinnacle of Italian design, and to create a destination that caters to an increasingly discerning clientele seeking authenticity, quality, and sophistication.” As the evening drew to a close, the store settled into its role, not just as a retail address, but as a space where design conversations begin and continue. molteni.it vivonodesigns.com
