The unveiling of Pantalica by Elisa Ossino was celebrated at Molteni’s Paris Flagship Store, where esteemed guests had the opportunity to meet the designer and Giulia Molteni of the Molteni Group, marking a significant moment in contemporary outdoor design.

 

The Pantalica Collection draws its inspiration from the breathtaking Pantalica nature reserve in Sicily, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This collection reflects a seamless blend of Mediterranean tradition and forward-thinking design, honoring nature’s beauty while incorporating sustainable practices.

Every piece in the collection is crafted from eco-conscious materials like polypropylene, which aligns with principles of the circular economy, ensuring that materials can be reintroduced into production cycles at the end of their lifespan.

Sustainable sculptural

Created by renowned Milan-based designer Elisa Ossino, Pantalica by Molteni celebrates the intersection of art, nature, and sustainability. The collection takes cues from archaic, sculptural forms and reinterprets them through a modern lens.

 

Each piece is designed to function not only as furniture but as a natural sculpture, evoking an irenic and meditative connection to outdoor environments. The intricate polypropylene weaving adds an artistic touch, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional appeal of the collection.

Ossino describes Pantalica as “an art design collection rooted in a profound connection with nature.” She further explains that its archetypal forms and circular economy practices create a harmonious space where ancient influences meet contemporary living. The collection’s design exudes timelessness, balancing the simplicity of primitive inspiration with innovative craftsmanship.

A breath of fresh air

Molteni ensures that Pantalica integrates seamlessly with its other outdoor collections, including Timeout and Landmark, presenting a cohesive vision for reimagining outdoor spaces. 

 

The Pantalica lineup, which features a daybed, coffee table, stools, and a rug, highlights versatility, elegance, and respect for the environment. Each piece is carefully curated to elevate outdoor living while fostering a sense of tranquility and sustainability.

Ossino’s philosophy for the collection is clear: “Every piece embodies a timeless fascination with primitivism, reimagined for the modern world. It’s a spatial concept that immerses individuals in an atmosphere of peace and connection, celebrating the circularity of time and nature.”

By blending heritage with innovation, Molteni’s Pantalica Collection transforms outdoor spaces into havens of relaxation and sustainability. This launch not only underscores Molteni’s dedication to enhancing the culture of living but also sets a new benchmark for sophisticated outdoor design, making a profound statement about the future of harmonious and responsible living.
