For fifty years I have worked in this industry. I started at eleven years old with the hope of learning a trade. For twelve, thirteen hours a day I toiled and in the evening, after work, I went to the local school of arts and crafts. I love the artistic aspects of this profession. Above all I cherish the creative aspect, the ability to arouse emotion. I surround myself with imaginative artists and artisans capable of shaping a seamless ambiance through room after room." Distinguished by the quality of his achievements, Francesco Molon has remained resolute while furnishing prestigious settings throughout the world. Francesco credits a number of factors for his own success. Among these are persistence, a commitment to products of high artistic value, and an exceptional support staff. Perhaps the most important factor was his decision to operate primarily in foreign markets. The opening of said markets has proved an indispensable achievement since starting the business with his wife, Giuliana, in 1966. In the same year Francesco participated in a Swiss furniture fair beginning a process of expansion that has spanned decades. By 1972 Francesco Molon was working on projects in Saudi Arabia. By 1981 he had forged a vast sales network throughout the United States. In the years preceding the fall of the Berlin Wall, Francesco ventured into Russia. Remembering, "In the Soviet Union at that time, our customers were primarily bodies of state. For example, we had the opportunity to work with the Kremlin. In guiding the focus of the company, Francesco says, "I have directed the production towards an audience sensitive to the charm derived from a perfectly crafted product. In my opinion, Italy has the most historical and artistic heritage in the world. Unfortunately this has led many of my countrymen to take such refinement for granted. Conversely this is the very idea that often entices our international customers. Presently private customers from Russia represent our most faithful and demanding clientele. High expectation is the common denominator that unites all those who covet Francesco Molon. Meeting this challenge has forced us develop a distinct focus and precision. I see my experience in Germany as crucial in fostering this approach. I feel that the Germans possess a strong mentality and sense of professionalism that I have adopted and imparted to my coworkers. " “Success does not come by chance; it requires endless passion and sacrifice. Committment to a distinct identity, the will to retain a certain belief. These are the cornerstones of Francesco Molon Luxury Furniture.” Continuing the founder’s ethos, Francesco Molon’s two sons now manage the family business. Each son as dedicated as his father to the timeless fine design and execution that enables Francesco Molon pieces to be passed through the generations.execution that enables francesco molon pieces to be passed through the generations.
