Kensington Armchair by Molteni&C
Dawson & Co.
Kensington Armchair by Molteni&C designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, successfully presented at the 2018 Salone del Mobile, now includes an additional element: a Bergère armchair in which to relax, meditate or simply chill out.
The external and internal upholstery in textiles or leather can be combined at will. The central metal base features 4 spokes designed to support the slightly sloping frame for greater comfort. The outer shell, made of moulded structural polyurethane foam entirely upholstered also in leather is matched by an inner foamed frame.
The whole thing rests on an elegant base made of solid ash lacquered open-pore Moka and refined little Pewter-coloured pressure die-cast aluminium feet.
Two versions, tall and low, and a practical footrest complete the collection. The Kensington armchair offers a high degree of personalisation, given that the leather-clad outer shell can be combined with the inner frame, also clad in leather, for a refined mono-material effect.
Alternatively, a pleasing contrast can be obtained by matching the leather-clad shell with an inner frame covered in one of the fabrics from the exclusive Molteni&C collection. With their refined elegance, these elements help to create intimate conversation areas both in the home and in hospitality spaces such as lounges, waiting rooms and executive offices.

About the
Seller
For over 45 years the Dawson family and our wonderful staff have been filling homes with designer furniture sourced from New Zealand and abroad. We travel extensively, collaborating with our manufacturing partners to ensure we bring the best value product we can find. Our philosophy is simple - to showcase great quality, honest furniture from brilliant craftspeople in a welcoming environment.
How do we achieve this?
We are extremely lucky to have fostered strong relationships with renowned international furniture brands and designers including Molteni & C, Timothy Oulton, Dedon and Tribu. Buying directly from international suppliers enables us to remove the added layers of costs and complexity so we can pass the savings on to the consumer.
What is great quality?
We believe it is a fine balance of design and materials. That is why prior to adding any product collections we meet the artisans in their workshops and factories anywhere they manufacture around the world, which involves us spending up to 3 months a year travelling to Asia and Europe. All too often we have been shown cheaper items but they turn out to be inferior. All our staff are highly trained professionals who can tell you about our furniture in detail.
