South Kensington Sofa by Molteni&C
South Kensington, London’s trendy district, home to the Victoria & Albert Museum and now to Molteni&C|Dada new and prestigious Flagship Store, inaugurated at the beginning of this year, lends its name to the Milanese architect’s latest design for Molteni&C. The idea was prompted by the successful launch of the Kensington armchairs at last year’s Salone del Mobile in Milan.
An all rounded sofa like the futuristic 2001 Space Odyssey, a design that was all the rage in the 1960s, but with a contemporary look.
Two- or three-seater sofas, all-in-one seat and medium height backrest, these are the features that make this an instant classic, suitable for both residential and hospitality solutions for lobbies and lounges.
The use of avantgarde materials and the extreme attention to detail as well as the chance to fit in with the Kensington armchairs, with which it shares the basic concepts, makes it an indisputable and exceptionally versatile protagonist. Upholstered in leather or textiles to be chosen from the huge Molteni&C collection.

About the
Seller
For over 45 years the Dawson family and our wonderful staff have been filling homes with designer furniture sourced from New Zealand and abroad. We travel extensively, collaborating with our manufacturing partners to ensure we bring the best value product we can find. Our philosophy is simple - to showcase great quality, honest furniture from brilliant craftspeople in a welcoming environment.
How do we achieve this?
We are extremely lucky to have fostered strong relationships with renowned international furniture brands and designers including Molteni & C, Timothy Oulton, Dedon and Tribu. Buying directly from international suppliers enables us to remove the added layers of costs and complexity so we can pass the savings on to the consumer.
What is great quality?
We believe it is a fine balance of design and materials. That is why prior to adding any product collections we meet the artisans in their workshops and factories anywhere they manufacture around the world, which involves us spending up to 3 months a year travelling to Asia and Europe. All too often we have been shown cheaper items but they turn out to be inferior. All our staff are highly trained professionals who can tell you about our furniture in detail.
