Kyoto

Minotti > Carpet

The innovative look of the Kyoto rug is a Minotti exclusive, created using unique looms and multi-coloured cords in shades of white, grey and black.

Avery

Minotti > Carpet

Distinguished by its modern vibe and reassuring, sophisticated colour, Avery furnishes outdoor spaces with elegance. The rug stands out for its woven loop structure, made on special looms exclusively custom-engineered for Minotti, using a semi-artisan crafting process, which involves assembling strips of material sewn together with high tenacity yarn. The recyclable polypropylene fibre used to make it respects and enhances its characteristics of permeability, breathability and suitability for humid environments. Available in the new nuances Terracotta, Bamboo and Petroleum – in addition to the existing colours Dark Brown, Bronze and Cord – it is easily matched with the furnishing pieces in teak, iroko and aluminium of the Minotti Outdoor collection.

The typical spiral weave style recalls that of the Jersey fabric and its structure ensures excellent performances in terms of stability and durability. The rug’s taslanised polypropylene composition gives it an ultra-natural look that is stable under UV light, eco-friendly, non-toxic, and 100% recyclable, with a small environmental footprint. Available in two sizes and three colours: Silver, Ecru and Graphite - with a slight mélange effect.

Duchamp "Outdoor"

Minotti > Coffee table

A re-edition of an indoor side table of 1998, Duchamp "Outdoor" recalls the structure and the mono-material surface of the original concept.

Closed by a squared or rounded top, it is available in four different sizes and it features an interesting outdoor stainless steel paint finish with an "orange peel" texture in White or Black/Silver colour.

Tape "Outdoor"

The Fynn Outdoor armchair and little armchairs feature a distinctive ultra-lightweight aesthetic with a simple structure in teak. The frame is interwoven with wicker-effect cords in Mud colour, hosting a padded seat and backrest cushion, designed as a single element.

The family is composed of armchair, sofa, end element with or without extending top, chaise-longue, loveseat, daybed with reclining backrest, and square and rectangular coffee tables.

Pilotis "Outdoor"

Minotti > Coffee table

Real one-off pieces due to the oxidation process they undergo, which makes each one different from the others, the Pilotis Outdoor coffee tables are conceived as solid volumes of pure geometry. Their name refers to one of the distinctive architectural elements of Rationalism, and indicates the slender columns on which the airy volumes of the Rationalist buildings would lie. Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni and made in Corten or Cobalt Blue colour varnished stainless steel, the coffee table is available in two different heights, both with the same 27 cm diameter. An original showpiece for open-air living areas and outdoor spaces.

Stony

Minotti > Coffee table

The rounded, irregular shape of the Stony coffee table, inspired by pebbles smoothed by the water of rivers, figures as a natural element in the outdoor spaces designed by Minotti. Its inner frame is covered with a layer of resin, in turn coated in stone dust to produce a Basaltine effect or covered with Terracotta powder. It comes in four different sizes, each with its own distinctive shape.

Lido "Outdoor"

Minotti > Coffee table

The Lido Cord Outdoor family, designed by GamFratesi, is developed and upgraded by the addition of two new elements: a linear two-seater sofa and a bench, ideal also for use as a small tabletop in the centre of the living area. Both the new elements stand on four legs characteristic of the Lido family aesthetic, in solid teak wood or mahogany with a Dark Brown stained veneer, enriched by unique steel inserts with a Bronze-coloured varnish at the top. The design, which perfectly expresses the vision of Minotti, capable of interpreting indoor and outdoor spaces with the same strong coherence, is produced using clever, advanced technology and materials conceived specifically for open air environments. The frame of the backrest is in stainless steel with a Bronze-coloured varnish and covered in polypropylene cords in shades that can vary from the more neutral and traditional tones of Dark Brown and Sand to brighter ones also inspired by nature and the chromatic development of the entire collection, Citron, Blue and Petroleum. Colours related to images of faraway landscapes that bring freshness and character to this family of outdoor furnishing pieces with an enveloping look inspired by the 1950s. The new elements enrich the existing ones, where the unusually organic shaped sofa is the protagonist, characterised by a Bronze varnished aluminium base with polished anti-touch finish, a distinguishing feature that makes a strong sculptural impression. On one side it offers a formal seat, on the other its depth is extended, becoming a bergère, with backrest in the shape of a soft nest. A veritable invitation to lie back and relax in a cosier, more relaxing way. The family of furnishing pieces is completed with an armchair, lounge armchair and dining little armchair, footstool and coffee tables, the latter with circular or square top in Basaltine stone, resting on an X-shaped base, and available in four sizes and two heights.

Patio

Minotti > Coffee table

Having explored the use of woods, such as iroko and teak, with Patio, designed by Italian-Danish studio GamFratesi, Minotti proposes an unexpected mix of different materials: aluminium, wood, stone, cord. The outdoor seating system, with its highly versatile modularity, is conceived as a dynamic mosaic, composed of tesserae in simple geometric shapes, which can be pieced together as desired, and reconfigured to suit the available space and the mood to be created. Patio offers an interesting range of furnishing accessories, from coffee tables with top in brushed fine-grain Basaltina stone, benches, and square and rectangular ottomans with extruded aluminium base, in a creative mix of materic textures and sophisticated, natural colours.

Taiko "Outdoor"

Minotti > Coffee table

The outdoor version of the Taiko coffee table designed for indoor use brings with it the same characteristics of refined simplicity.

Isole

Minotti > Coffee table

An evocative name for the Isole family of lava stone coffee tables with irregular shapes, just like small islands in the sea. Available in four sizes, they are characterised by the combination of lava material and glass in four different shades which, like an expanding stain, colours the surface of the top three-dimensionally, leaving the tangible materiality of the stone on the edges. The different heights of the coffee tables, which stand on Pewter-coloured tubular steel legs, inspire lively mix and match effects, creating an interesting play of shades and shapes. The Isole coffee tables are particularly versatile and can be easily combined with the entire outdoor collection. Inspired by a contemporary 1950s aesthetic, their playful yet elegant character shines through, due to their spontaneous way of combining materials with such different special features.

Claydon Outdoor

Minotti > Table

Van Dyck "Outdoor"

Minotti > Table

A piece of furniture with a strong personality, that can be combined with different seats, capable of giving a unique character to open-air contexts.

Quadrado "Table"

Minotti > Table

Rationalist, minimal, designed by combining different materials and textures that enhance its linear shapes, the table features the element that characterises the Quadrado family on its top: a duckboard pattern. Teak duckboard, used in the yachting industry to facilitate the outflow of water, was introduced in 2018 as a modular element of the structured Quadrado seating system created by the Brazilian designer. The table comes in three dimensions, and features a top set on aluminium legs, designed as two panels that cross it on the short side. It sports a striking Lava Stone Powder finish, generating an interesting contrast between the surfaces and the Teak wood of the top. A number of plug-in accessories, such as the candle-holder and the Lava Stone tray, mean the table can be set to match the occasion. The Quadrado table can be used in different arrangements, perhaps forming part of a domino sequence or designing a frame round the trunk of a tree, as suggested by Marcio Kogan, as always in pursuit of an ideal relationship between his designs and the nature surrounding them.

Fynn Dining "Outdoor"

Minotti > Table

Of Scandinavian inspiration, the Fynn Outdoor table is in 100% natural solid teak, crafted with artisanal savoir-faire. The design of the Fynn Outdoor dining table spontaneously originates from the design of the chairs and armchairs, for an outdoor space in harmony with the seats. Smooth, soft to the touch, with no rough edges, the structural and lateral parts of the table reiterate the elongated and slightly curved design of the wooden armrest, which characterises the family of seats. The rectangular top, made of wooden staves, is available in two sizes. With an extremely lightweight look, emphasised by its simple structure, Fynn Outdoor is a table that becomes the protagonist of any outdoor dining space.

Terrace

The 2021 version of Terrace presents the rectangular top in solid teak with a natural finish, and frame and legs varnished in White.

Patio

Minotti > Styling

Having explored the use of woods, such as iroko and teak, with Patio, designed by Italian-Danish studio GamFratesi, Minotti proposes an unexpected mix of different materials: aluminium, wood, stone, cord. The outdoor seating system, with its highly versatile modularity, is conceived as a dynamic mosaic, composed of tesserae in simple geometric shapes, which can be pieced together as desired, and reconfigured to suit the available space and the mood to be created. The design of the sofa base structure enables the back elements to be arranged in various set positions all along the perimeter, to design conversation, relaxation, and vis-à-vis areas, spacing out the seats with coffee tables, and complementing them with ottomans and benches. A solution capable of meeting the requirements of both small metropolitan terraces, and extensive outdoor spaces, thanks to the two depths: 83 and 98 cm. The variety of potential compositions becomes even more interesting when the selected materials are masterfully combined: the extruded aluminium base with matt finish in the shades of Ecru and Dark Brown is accompanied by steel backrests, covered in woven polypropylene cord in the same shades, according to a Scandinavian-type geometric design. Some of the seating elements feature a handy tray in Dark Brown stained solid mahogany or in natural teak, with grooves for draining water, attached to the structure. Patio offers an interesting range of furnishing accessories, from coffee tables with top in brushed fine-grain Basaltina stone, benches, and square and rectangular ottomans with extruded aluminium base, in a creative mix of materic textures and sophisticated, natural colours. The system offers a rich variety of sofas in different measurements and configurations, in addition to central and end units, armchairs, loveseat, sunbeds and double daybeds. All the elements share the same feet and the same joints at the back in die-cast aluminium, varnished with a refined polished, anti-touch Bronze finish.

Tape "Cord" Outdoor

Minotti > Outdoor furniture

The Tape family of seats, which made its début in 2018, naturally evolves, incorporating items for the outdoor environment that maintain the undeniable elegance of the forms and concepts of the design, and add a few welcome variants that embrace the concept of outdoor living. The seats become deeper, larger and more relaxing, while the metal frame, in a new outdoor finish, is covered with the wicker-effect cords available in two colours: Mud and Liquorice. Here, the couture detail of Tape - the piece of ribbon that holds the feet on to the body - takes the form of a metal plate in Bronze colour, a finish that is the leitmotiv of all the outdoor seats of the 2019 Collection. The system offers many elements, ideal for creating relaxation areas also in small outdoor spaces or on urban rooftop terraces: from the armchair to the sofa, from the Paolina chaise longue to the original couch open at the back, from the chair to the coffee tables, up until the stool in two heights of 102 and 115 cm, in the collection from January 2020. The concept of the small tables in metal with Bronze finish is inspired by the distinctive Tape detail itself, which aesthetically secures the legs to the crown, inside which the top in Silver Beola or Corian® EC is inserted.
