Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Christophe Delcourt?

Christophe Delcourt is a Paris-based designer and architect known for his self-taught approach and a body of work that spans furniture, interiors, and spatial design. His pieces are characterized by strong silhouettes, refined materiality, and a sculptural sensibility rooted in European craft traditions.

What is the Emile Sofa's connection to Lucio Fontana?

Delcourt drew from Fontana's iconic Concetto Spaziale series, in which precise cuts and punctures transformed a flat surface into something with depth and tension. On the Emile Sofa, this influence is expressed through graphic incised lines that define the sofa's form and give it a distinct presence from any viewpoint.

What configurations is the Emile Sofa available in?

The Emile is a modular system that can be arranged in linear, semicircular, or fully circular compositions, allowing it to adapt to a wide range of spatial conditions and room scales.

What upholstery options does the Emile Sofa offer?

The sofa is available in a curated selection of fabrics and leathers through Molteni&C's upholstery program. Specific options are best confirmed through a design consultation, as the range may vary by market and production period.

How does Molteni&C approach production quality for sofas like the Emile?

Molteni&C has manufactured furniture in Giussano, Italy since 1934, combining industrial precision with artisanal finishing. The Emile Sofa is made to order, with close attention to the structural integrity of its modular joints and the quality of its upholstered surfaces.
