Discovering Design Heritage: MAWD at Molteni&C’s Palazzo Experience

MAWD's Senior Interior Designer, Bethia Thompson, joined the Molteni Group Discovery Experience in Milan - exploring the brand’s compound including its factory, restaurant, museum, and showroom.
A Journey Through Craft, Culture and Italian Design Excellence
Bethia joined a curated group of global design professionals for the Molteni&C Discovery Experience in Milan - an immersive three-day journey exploring the legacy, innovation, and craft behind one of Italy’s most iconic design houses.
Hosted within Palazzo Molteni, the brand’s newly inaugurated Milanese flagship and cultural hub, the experience offered an intimate look at the evolution of Italian design through a lens of heritage and contemporary artistry.
The multi-day programme immersed attendees in Molteni Group’s compound, which includes the factory, restaurant, museum, and showroom — offering an unparalleled look behind the scenes of the brand’s philosophy of craftsmanship, design excellence, and innovation.

A highlight of the experience was the evening on Lake Como, where design professionals and creative leaders gathered to celebrate Italian heritage, craftsmanship, and community.
The Discovery Experience reflected Molteni Group’s continued commitment to promoting a culture of quality living — and to connecting design professionals with the artistry and values that define their legacy.
