moll functional furniture is tradition and passion - since 1925
As different as moll functional furniture may be, they all have one thing in common: the claim to set a new benchmark in at least one of the categories of function, design or quality. This claim explains why the name moll today sets a clear signal in over 50 countries for first-class, robust workmanship, consistent "Made in Germany" and for the unmistakable corporate culture of an owner-managed company with a clear idea
and that for 95 years.
