Overview
Corsetto is an armchair by Cristián Mohaded, headed 2026 on the Molteni&C datasheet. The page says it is defined by containment and softness and draws on the tension between structure and comfort, using leather and fabric as elements that actively shape the design.

Construction
The armchair has a rounded, full-bodied volume. A leather belt runs up from the base to the armrests; the page says it draws the form in and presses the upholstery just enough to give a corseted outline. The datasheet describes a steel frame in the seat and in the back, and a rigid polyurethane base.
Specifications
- CPLT1 armchair: 93 cm wide and 92 cm deep; the drawing's tallest vertical value is 65 cm, which is not labelled on the drawing
- Base: always produced with a leather-covered base
Story
Containment and softness
Molteni&C describes a volume that embraces and cocoons the body, offering comfort and enclosure. In the words the page gives to Cristián Mohaded, the volumes are soft and full, like cushions of breath, gently pressed into form, and the form feels corseted, shaped with precision yet alive with softness.
A belt that gives structure
The leather belt is the continuous element of the design: it rises from the base and wraps upward to the armrests. The page says it holds the volume in place without interrupting its softness, and the datasheet calls the result a subtle tension between constriction and release.
