The Glass House: Displaying Furniture In Natural Settings

Posted: 08 Mar 2013 11:08 AM PST

The Glass House Project literally sheds light (natural and abundant) on this stunning furniture collection by Molteni & C. Even for those designers and enthusiasts who do not subscribe to a modern philosophy, the impact generated by the site and layout is awe-inspiring. The individual pieces lend themselves to minimalist styling and this has been employed by an incredibly restrained and experienced hand. Established in 1934, Molteni channels a design movement rooted in the 1950s in this avant-garde collection, which is complimented by the Eichler-esque choice in display home.

Eichler-esque angular modern display house and gardens

twin modular sofas in white with bright yellow soft furnishings and red circular mirror

monochrome modular lounge with glass coffee tables and ornamental cubes fitted storage

bright modular lounge with coffee and trat tables and ambient lighting

wood grain dining table breakfast bar with industrial frame and modern seating

glossy black opaque pendant lit foyer with glass occasional table and mirrored feature wall

modern black office space with juvenille tree in pot and glass table

yellow and grey bedroom with fitted storage and black leather armchair

multifunctional workspace with black leather hybrid armchair chase and fitted storage

modern dining beneath installation with running bookcases

internal outdoor space with installation art and garden of white stones

modern white kitchen island with suspended industrial storage running spotlamps

The true triumph of this collection is its modesty. All that exists to impress is concealed. Take, for example, the kitchen or entertainment system, both of which are almost unidentifiable in these images because without compromising functionality, they have been masterfully hidden. Sleek black panels fold out to reveal the kitchen with a homogeneously lit splashback and the television has been discarded, replaced by a state-of-the-art projector.

One may expect that a combination of modern minimalism, severe architectural angles and a heavy reliance on glass for light, would result in a feeling of austerity, but the firm manages to pull it off with natural and functional materials that actually echo the environment and create an elemental atmosphere.
