Molteni&C and the internationally famous architecture firm, a longtime partner of the Molteni Group. A special edition ofthe chair will be used in the reading room of the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem, designed by the Basel-based firm,
whose creation also involves UniFor, an associate of Molteni&C, to fit out the main reading room with furnishings andshelving systems. The Porta Volta chair highlights the relationship between padded seat and rigid back, the main elementof the design.
