From Day To Night

Neri&Hu’s Twelve AM collection for Molteni&C emerged from the designers’ contemplation of the midnight hour as the transition point between one day and the next. In Roman timekeeping, midnight was the exact halfway point between sunset and sunrise, marking the moment between the dichotomies of day and night. Neri&Hu’s design plays on this duality and the rituals we perform that become markers of time. The high headboard of the Twelve AM bed envelops the sleeper for a cosy rest during the night, but attached to its back face is a small desk from which to work during the day. The Twelve AM bench is a convenient place for putting on and taking off clothes and accessories – a daily act that marks the beginning and end of each day. In Singapore, Molteni&C is available from the new Molteni&C | Dada store by P5, at Winsland House.
