Description

MHC.1 is a new edition of the prototype of the first modern furniture made by Molteni&C, a dresser designed by Werner Blaser. Although it was never industrially produced, in 1955 it won first prize at the Cantù "Prima mostra selettiva - Concorso internazionale del mobile," a competition aimed at changing the image of Italian furniture making. The jury consisted of Gio Ponti, Alvar Alto, Romano Barocchi, Carlo de Carli and Finn Juhl. The unusual woodwork is characterized by a simple connection with three supports.
