Linha Studio
minotti > Table
The evolution of the dining table designed by the Brazilian architect in 2020, the Linha Studio desk is available in five sizes, from the suite or home office desk to larger sizes for the office. The sculptural frame draws a large bridged area with the top lying flush to the sides, and two drawers underneath, positioned on the left. Linha, which means line in Portuguese, responds to the challenge of designing a desk with a slender frame, a top only 16 mm thick and from 180 to 250 cm long. Visually speaking, it is extremely light and airy, the ultimate expression of the minimalism that pervades the designs of Marcio Kogan / studio mk27, which have always focused on finding proportions that convey a certain elegance. The entire frame is characterised by sides with a Golden Brown finish, while the top and front of the drawers are in Dark Brown stained palisander Santos, with a matt polyester lacquered finish, wood with an interesting texture that adds volumes of personality to the design. A cable hole compartment is located on the table top, which can house a storage tray in Golden Brown varnished metal, with internal partitions and a background in Dark Brown saddle-hide positioned near the drawers.
Superquadra
minotti > Table
The Superquadra table, with its rectangular, minimal design and sizeable proportions, rests on four aluminium legs with polished Brandy-coloured finish, sticking out from the line of the top, to give them an airy look. The considerably thick top incorporates the folding technique, maintaining the continuity of the veining from the top to the sides. Available in four sizes, from 250 cm to 400 cm in length, it enhances the aesthetic and textural properties of the Dark Brown stained palisander Santos with matt polyester lacquered finish and the Black lacquered open-pore flamed ash, as well as of the Dark Brown stained palisander Santos combined with Sahara Noir marble with matt polyester varnished finish. With a design capable of interpreting both the spaces at home and those of the workplace, the Superquadra table slots into high profile meeting rooms and board rooms with style. For the wooden tops, cable holes are available in the same finish as the surface, on request.
Marvin
minotti > Table
With its bold, sculptural-shaped base, which draws a series of quarter circles, illuminated by the glints of the metal, and interspersed with a black insert, the Marvin table makes an impressive impact and is characterised by great versatility. It is part of a wide variety of dining tables with a clearly architectural inspiration, featuring bases in satin finish stainless steel or in Pewter-coloured varnished metal. The design is enriched by the precious materials chosen for the top: Bianconero marble, with an interplay of nuances that imposes a strong, ultra-modern feel, and Marron Damasco marble. Alternatively, it comes with the top in striped brushed solid ash, sporting a Black open-pore lacquered finish. Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, it is available with the round top in three different diameters (160, 180 and 200 cm) and a top in the shape of an elegant rectangle, with softer lines and rounded corners, in three sizes. The design is conceived to be customised with tailor-made solutions, thanks to the combination and interpretation of the design of the bases, depending on the shape and size of the top, up to very important proposals. Marvin covers a variety of different design areas, also entering Hospitality environments as the true protagonist of the most sophisticated meeting rooms.
Linha Fina
minotti > Table
A stimulating design challenge has led to the evolution of the Linha table, designed by Marcio Kogan / studio mk27, giving rise to Linha Fina. Its very slender top is the line that becomes volume, characterising this light, yet sculptural object. It is charachterized by perimeter thickness of just 16 mm, in palisander Santos or in the stained Dark Brown veneer, both in the polyester matt lacquered finish, or Black lacquered ash. The generous dimensions of the top, available in four different lengths and three diameters, give the top an even more ethereal feel. Lightness and sophistication are the main characteristics of Linha Fina: a table with a spatial configuration that makes it perfect for dining areas.
Brady "Dining"
minotti > Table
A family of dining tables whose essential form is cleverly expressed in the harmonious dialogue between the veining of the marble tops and the rounded support holding them. The top surfaces, enriched by the natural streaks and enhanced by the power of the marble, lend a value of uniqueness to this family of tables. The rounded, lenticular-shaped support perfectly accommodates the top as if it were a stone set in a jewel: this special detail allows the marble to disappear with its mass, leaving its veining and natural design to stand out, with a different, unique effect in every piece. Designed in the round version, or in the rectangular one with rounded corners, Brady makes a strong impression thanks to its cylindrical metal base in Bronze or Moka colour, becoming the centrepiece of the space.
Russell "Dining"
minotti > Chair
Recalling the composed style of the Fifties the Russell family consists of a variety of typologies of great appeal that range from the enveloping armchair to the elegant lounge and dining armchairs, the bergère, the soft sofa and the ottoman. The shape takes up vintage lines, modernising them with an incredibly sophisticated silhouette that involves both the seat cushions and the external covering, which comes in fabric or leather, for a combination of textures of great charm. The fixed cross structure in Bronze-coloured metal with the feet sheathed in Moka-shaded oak is a surprising detail that reflects the virtuosity of Minotti in combining different materials. Worked with the company's unique savoir-faire, they highlight its craftsmanship tradition. The revolving versions of the armchair, the bergère and the lounge and dining chairs are instead characterised by a base made of wooden spokes.
Lawson "Dining"
minotti > Chair
With the fluid line of its shapes and the equilibrium of its soft volumes, the Lawson seating system explores different types of chairs, offering innovative solutions that push out the traditional style boundaries, ranging from small lounge armchairs to the larger easy chair, and even sofas. The design features a look based on the juxtaposition of materials: on one side there is leather, which follows the curve of the enveloping backrest, in turn becoming an armrest and on the other side there is the fabric of the cushions, with its haute couture feel. The many different layouts of the system, with its interesting range of alternating depths, mean it is perfect for creating both small, intimate spaces, as well as arrangements featuring several elements, all fit to occupy larger spaces with grace. With its natural elegance, Lawson is ideal for residential interiors, but also reveals a strong vocation for the hospitality sector, thanks to its versatile modularity. Sofas and armchairs sit on metal feet with a chrome or polished Pewter finish, a jewel-detail that adds a touch of sophistication to the piece. The wide variety of elements in the Lawson family also includes an armchair with legs in Moka-coloured ash wood or covered in leather, a detail that also characterises the lounge armchair and dining chair. Each piece can be used in a wide range of potential combinations of materials and colours. And while the impression made by Lawson oozes with Seventies style if the arrangement includes pieces with black leather, structured fabric upholstering and feet with a chrome finish, instead, a more decorative spirit shines through if the option chosen features velvet and chenille.
Shelley "Dining"
minotti > Armchair
Starting from January 2020, the new Shelley dining little armchair joins the Shelley armchair and lounge little armchair: a seat designed for the dining area that features the same refined design and the same cubic shapes as the project of the same name signed by GamFratesi. In addition to embodying formal elegance and comfort, the dining armchair easily combines compact proportions and a contemporary aesthetic taste, with references to the distinctive features of the Scandinavian style. The height of the seat is increased of 6 cm compared to the lounge little armchair, maintaining the same metal structure in Black-Nickel finish, with front legs inclined and slightly open sideways, in support of a rigid saddle-hide shell slightly flared at the top. Available in a wide range of colours – including the new Ash, Sage, Bordeaux and Dove Grey colours – the shell embraces a soft and comfortable padded seat, enhanced by a careful processing technique and refined tailoring profiles and details. The materiality of the saddle-hide and the plurality of upholsteries for the seat make Shelley dining a particularly versatile and extremely sophisticated furnishing, capable of fitting with measured elegance into any residential and Hospitality context.
Angie "Dining"
minotti > Chair
A saddle-hide or leather element designs a wing that embraces the armchair, sustaining the frame like a sculptural bustier, characterised inside by the inviting softness of the seat and backrest. Behind the apparent simplicity of the design lies an advanced technological process used to make both the padding with different textures of foam and the saddle hide or leather bustier, made using two different Baydur® moulds, which perfectly follows the curved line of the armchair. The GamFratesi studio, signing the design, worked on the idea of contrast, emphasising it and juxtaposing the stiff frame of the saddle hide or leather element with the softness of the upholstered part, which can also be seen on the back, so setting the scene for interesting colour combinations of saddle hide and fabric. The legs are in Pewter-coloured die-cast aluminium and a unique bow-shaped frame connects the feet at the rear, emphasising the curve of the saddle hide or leather body. The family of products includes an armchair, accompanied by a footstool, and a dining little armchair, both with the same features and in different sizes, now joined by the Angie Cover version upholstered entirely in fabric or leather. The presence of saddle hide is not only a distinctive feature of the GamFratesi studio’s involvement in the creative team of Minotti, but also breathes new vibrancy into a piece with classic forms, offering a palette of different shades.
Fynn "Stool"
minotti > Stool
Scandinavian values meet Italian tradition in Fynn, a project created by combining fine cabinet-making in the wooden elements and sophisticated upholstering with fabric or saddle-hide.
Fynn "Dining"
minotti > Chair
Scandinavian values meet Italian tradition in Fynn, a project created by combining fine cabinet-making in the wooden elements and sophisticated upholstering with fabric or saddle-hide. The signature element of the Fynn seats is the armrest, elongated and slightly curved, rounded and smooth to the touch, 100% handmade. Its precise, well-defined line identifies the whole family of seats, in the two Fynn and Fynn Saddle-Hide versions. Covered with the exclusive fabrics and saddle-hides in the collection, it fully expresses the high level of the elegant sartorial process which has always been Minotti’s distinguishing mark. The family comprises armchairs, lounge and dining little armchairs, benches, footstools and coffee tables. The Fynn armchair and little armchairs feature an ultra-lightweight aesthetic with a simple structure in ash wood with Liquorice colour stained finish. This hosts a padded seat and backrest cushion, designed as a single element. The informal rigour with which Fynn hosts the upholstered element designs a comfortable seat that almost cradles the body, wrapping it in the warmth of the wooden structure. In the Fynn Saddle-Hide version, a single saddle-hide element incorporates both the seat and backrest. The armchair and lounge little armchair have separate padded cushioning, which is optional in the dining little armchair. The saddle-hide covering comes in an extensive colour palette: Burgundy, Ash, Dove Grey, Sage, Mud, Moka, Black, Bulgarian Red, Moss Green, Green, Pewter, Corten, White and Grey. The Fynn conceived for the dining area includes the version with fully padded shell and, alternatively, the Saddle-Hide version with or without cushion. The Fynn family of seats is completed by a footstool and some benches of different sizes, all with a cushion except for the benches in the Saddle-Hide version, which have a structure with a slightly concave top, combined with a saddle-hide covering that envelopes it like exquisite leather. The coffee tables also share the same line as the wooden armrest, which designs a slight curve also found in the structural and side parts. The central part of the coffee table is enhanced by the presence of the top in Calacatta marble, creating a sophisticated combination of materials.
Torii "Dining"
minotti > Chair
Airy, with constructive details linked to Japanese tradition, the Torii modular seats play with round edged volumes, thin profiles and the apparent formal simplicity of an extremely detailed design. The metal structure of the legs of the seats and tables is Nendo’s nod to the image of the “torii”, the entrance gate to Shinto shrines in Japan. With an interlocking game, the horizontal elements are laid on the vertical supports, ensuring a sophisticated visual lightness that accommodates the padded volume, characterised by couture craftsmanship. The Torii family includes sofas - with high or low backrest and a linear shape, rounded at the arms - inclined sofas with a combination of two different depths, armchairs and lounge and dining little armchairs, ottomans, coffee tables, and a slender, oval-shaped console table, ideal for placing anywhere in the living area. The varied range of products makes it possible to design a flexible layout, in which the individual elements can also be combined to create a strong visual unity. The metal frame found in the components of the Torii family evokes the image of the “Senbon Torii, the wooden colonnade that forms a gallery made up of 1,000 vermilion torii gates”, as Nendo reminds us. The slim backrest features vertical quilting and a piping running along the perimeter of the cushioning, underlining the couture quality of the craftsmanship. The eco-leather and eco-nubuck piping is in a slightly contrasting colour, but in the same shade as the fabric, if combined with a textile covering, whereas the leather versions come in the same shade when combined with leather upholstery. All the upholstered elements of the system can be customised by choosing the covering: 100% fabric or leather, or in fabric with a leather base. The seats can be accessorised with leather magazine caddy, crafted with fine luggage-crafting techniques and enriched with the same metal details as the base. The end of the horizontal metal element of the legs is designed so that it almost holds the backrest and seat, recalling the Kigumi technique, borrowed from the Japanese tradition of wood construction. A small decorative disk with Black-Nickel finish, in the form of a jewel-like button located at the end, adds a precious detail to the ensemble, and creates a series of contrasts with the Bronze colour varnished metal finish of the legs. The armchairs and swivel armchairs in the form of a perfect circle were designed to meet a variety of requirements, both in terms of functionality and ergonomics, available in a range of different types. The seats - in the Bergère, Large, Medium and Small versions - and the Dining, Dining Large and Lounge little armchairs are the result of the in-depth research carried out to find the best way to express the sophisticated simplicity of the craftsmanship. The base is available in leather or fabric. The extension of the base of some elements features a top in Calacatta or Stone Grey marble with a matt polyester lacquer finish, crafted with a careful study of its proportions, thickness and structural details so that it blends seamlessly into the seat, also from an aesthetic point of view. The Small armchair is also available in the Torii Nest version with braided leather backrest and a pattern inspired by Vienna straw, inserted in a solid ash wood frame that sits on a base in the same material. The Torii coffee tables also feature the same structural style details as the seats, reflected in the metal frame with Bronze colour varnished finish and details in Black-Nickel metal. Available in different sizes, ranging up to an impressive diameter of 120 cm, and different heights, they feature a top in Calacatta or Stone Grey marble with matt polyester finish, in Black pâte de verre or in Liquorice colour brushed ash wood, enclosed by a Liquorice colour matt lacquered frame.
Lido "Dining"
minotti > Chair
The welcoming nest shape of the Lido family of seats by Italian-Danish duo GamFratesi is the hallmark of its design. The curved silhouette that outlines the body on which the padding of the seat sits now also comes in a two-seater sofa version: a compact furnishing piece, ideal for both home and Hospitality spaces. The design, inspired by the 1950s, recalls the typical stylistic marks of Brutalist architectures, here softened by the masterful use of textured fabrics and comfortable, ergonomic cushions. The volume of the sofa is raised from the ground by four solid wood legs, in Moka-coloured open-pore ash or Canaletto walnut with a Dark Brown stained veneer. Alternatively, it can rest on the iconic X-shaped aluminium base with Moka-coloured open-pore ash finish, imbuing this object with timeless beauty and making it easy to pair with the other furnishing pieces in the collection. The base and legs are enhanced by an interesting decorative insert in Bronze-coloured varnished steel at the top of the legs. The two-seater sofa completes the Lido family, which includes armchairs, ottomans, lounge armchair and dining little armchair - only with legs in solid wood - and coffee tables that sit on the iconic X-shaped base, with round or square top in Bianconero marble or ash wood with a Moka open-pore lacquered finish.
Belt "Dining"
minotti > Chair
The distinctive characteristic and inspiration behind the Belt family, designed in the all-fabric or leather versions, is the idea of a belt that draws the profile of the body, encircling it, then breaking off and fastening on the front of the seat. In particular, in the leather version, the strip is sewn onto a piece of bonded leather to lend support and ensure a consistent thickness: it is applied to the covering as a belt is applied to a dress and an ultra-sophisticated crafting process is required to follow the curved shape of the seat and keep the visible seams perfectly straight and even. With its classic shape, the foam body designs a shell-like, enveloping backrest that welcomes and protects. The seat rests on a die-cast aluminium base with a polished Brandy-coloured anti-touch varnished finish, which enhances the armchair and, in its leather version, recalls the metal finishes of exquisite leather bags. The base is also available in Dark Brown stained Canaletto walnut or Black lacquered open-pore flamed ash. The family consists of a sofa, an armchair, a bergère with footstool, a smaller lounge armchair, and a dining little armchair.
Sendai "dining"
minotti > Chair
Named after the city of trees, Sendai, this line of furnishing pieces consists of a small sofa, an armchair, a lounge armchair and dining and lounge little armchairs. Like slender trunks, the elegant, polished legs, in Canaletto walnut solid wood stained Light Brown, or Licorice lacquered ash, rest on the ground, lifting the enveloping upholstered body and creating a soft rhythm of vertical lines. The possibility of having the armchair, the dining little armchair and the lounge armchair also in the 360° swivel version with return (base in polished Bronze-coloured varnished metal, with sheathed spokes in solid ash with an open-pore Licorice-coloured lacquer, or in solid Canaletto walnut with Light Brown stain) makes the Sendai seats particularly comfortable for both residential and hospitality environments. The compact and well-proportioned silhouette of both the seats and the small sofa, opens up to a new way of using the dining space: as a living room within the living room, a hybrid situation, such as when dinner is served on a large table, while guests meet and socialise round a lounge table. A new, more intimate way of opening up new visual and proportional horizons of the living space, both in homes and in hospitality veues. In 2023, the elegant and airy Sendai family of seats expands, with a new enveloping sofa, a comfortable swivel armchair with armrests and a footstool. The design of the armchair, with its upholstered frame resting on a 360° swivel base with return mechanism, also stems from the desire to have a larger seat whose comfort is ensured by a higher backrest and the presence of comfortable armrests, perfect for ensuring a satisfying sensation of relaxation, especially when used in combination with the footrest.
Yoko "dining"
minotti > Chair
Yoko, a light and elegant seating design; a Japanese name and Scandinavian lines that come together in a piece of furniture with an aesthetic matrix, flavoured by both cultures. A contrast in constant equilibrium thanks to the skilful craftsmanship of the Japanese-Danish couple Inoda+Sveje. The continuous cross-reference between the two cultures, their styles and manufacturing skills shapes a project composed of an armchair, a dining little armchair and a bench/footstool characterised by a dual lightness: physical and aesthetic. Delicate and sinuous lines, created with precious cabinet-making interlocking techniques that enrich the structure of legs and armrests in solid ash open pore wood lacquered with a Liquorice colour, or in solid Canaletto walnut stained Light Brown, a chromatic choice that lends a more decisive tone to the elegance of the silhouette. The wooden frame has a joint where the leg meets the armrest, both at the front and at the back: a structural joint that becomes decorative thanks to the clever use of the wooden material. In this project, the great expertise in woodworking that has always been characteristic of Nordic and Japanese craftsmanship meets the historical know-how of a Made in Italy company that has been an expert in exquisite upholstered furniture for decades. Yoko is the harmonious union of technology, elegance and comfort.
Raphael "Dining"
minotti > Chair
The characteristic light and sophisticated style trait of Italian-Danish duo GamFratesi inspires Raphael: a new way of designing the living space thanks to the use of single furnishing pieces with refined tailoring, capable of becoming protagonists of the space, and expressing the same comfort as traditional modular seating systems. Three sofa variants, four types of armchairs, two dining little armchairs and two footstools, all conceived as adaptable to smaller domestic contexts, while still meeting the high demands of decorators and interior designers. Organic forms, with generous and cosy proportions, are enhanced by sophisticated upholstery that masterfully interprets its distinctive sinuous lines. The Raphael sofas and armchairs stands on the floor on modern feet in die-cast Bronze or polished Pewter aluminium or Licorice-stained ash, the design of which adapts to the morphology of the seating shapes. The result is a furnishing piece with classic forms reinterpreted in a modern key. The armchairs are also available with a swivel four-spoke die-cast aluminium base in Bronze or polished Pewter. Each individual element of the family has its own identity and silhouette. The sofas are available in three variants: linear, semi-curved and asymmetrical semi-curved, the latter animated by the series of sinuous lines given by the backrest, punctuated by a gentle change of heights. The armchairs are characterised by their comfortable seating, not only in the larger model, but also in the smaller version and in the dining version, which is available both fixed, with legs in Licorice-coloured ash, and with a swivel four-spoke die-cast aluminium base in Bronze or polished Pewter. The details, shapes and overall aesthetics of Raphael make it a contemporary furnishing piece with a timeless character, designed to meet the different situations of everyday life: from moments dedicated to relaxation to those conceived for conviviality, from hospitality occasions to the more intimate ones of domestic life.
Overby
minotti > Styling
A product whose masterful manufacture clearly emphasizes the fact that it is not mass-produced. The Overby tray is an object that blends functionality and decorative impact in an expression of refined taste. The outer edge of the tray is in larch veneer stained Licorice color, while the inner part is fully-lined in Black saddle-hide. The Overby tray is available in square or rectangular versions and coordinates perfectly with all the tables and coffee tables in the collection.
Jacques
minotti > Styling
The Jacques collection includes sofas, and ottomans available in several sizes, originated from a common design seed that transforms a vaguely retro style into a symbol of absolutely contemporary style. A sophisticated aesthetic language that is expressed in soft shapes, compact proportions and details with striking visual impact, like the metal base with Bronze finish. Elegant stitching emphasizes the curved silhouette of the Jacques armchairs and sofas, whose rounded shapes create a surprising contrast with the more formal, geometric outlines of the Lawrence sofa. All of the seating elements share the enveloping lines that offer a pleasant sensation of welcoming warmth, thanks to the soft cushioning in the seats and backrests. Structural perfection and flawless tailoring underscore the high level of expertise achieved by the company over the years and are the consummate expression of its masterful craftsmanship. The sophisticated elegance and compact proportions inherent in all the Jacques collection seating elements allow them to thrive harmoniously in any setting – from home decor to hospitality – and to be easily paired with the new seating systems. Thanks to its soft seat cushion and backrest padding, the Jacques bergère, available both with fixed and swivel base, with swivel base is extremely comfortable and lends itself to the creation of spaces where relaxation is key. When combined with its ottoman and the Song coffee table that embraces the armchair with its organic shape, it becomes a functional table-top surface for a lamp or to display various kinds of objects. The extensive Jacques family also includes ottomans in various shapes and sizes, all distinguished by an elegant stitched motif and a square decorative button. The metal base with Bronze finish is a detail that lends refined decorative appeal to each piece in the Jacques collection.
Damier
minotti > Styling
Ottomans of different sizes and heights, proposed individually or grouped, make up a system that invites to a new creative and informal conviviality. Designed as soft volumes of square and rectangular shape suspended on Bronze-coloured aluminium bases, thanks to their reduced size, the Damier elements can be used as accessories or auxiliary seats. The various combinations of upholstery, which take advantage of the vast choice of fabrics and leathers of the Minotti collection, help to create an ever-changing domino of shades and textures. Thus designing a soft system that plays with the up-and-down dynamism of the different modules.
Side
minotti > Styling
The Side magazine rack is a functional accessory with a clearly sartorial matrix, also intended as a satellite item for seating systems. Completely covered in saddle-hide in the colours Mud, Dove Grey, Sage, Bordeaux, Mocha, Ash, and Black, with metal sides joined to each another by structural tubes in a Black-Nickel finish.
Clive
minotti > Styling
Clive is a series of padded benches designed with an elegant and minimalist silhouette and available in five different sizes and heights. The upholstery is available in any of the fabrics and leathers in the collection and has the added value of top-stitching that points to the couture esprit of the sartorial technique used. Clive benches stand on two satin-polished aluminium blades in the colour Malt that support a square seat with rounded corners. The padding is enclosed by a satin-polished metal band in the colour Malt, framing it like a crown. This stylish detail refers to the importance assigned to decorative merits and achieved by the savoir-faire of master craftsmen.
West
minotti > Styling
Benches and ottomans of varying shapes and sizes complete the West seating system and are distinguished by the aluminium strip in glossy Brandy finish, which bestows a unique decorative appeal on each element. The benches are designed to be in continuity with the more classic seats, interrupting the morphology of the backrests, but not the linearity of the system. The ottomans on the other hand can be placed as a complement to configurations and, particularly upholstered in pony skin leather, bring that extra touch of glamour and style to the space.
Solid "Saddle-Hide"
minotti > Styling
Solid Saddle-Hide presents itself as an eclectic, versatile, minimal furnishing accessory, made entirely from saddle-hide and refined with the same technique used in fine leather luggage-crafting: each side of the parallelepiped is trimmed with precise stitching round the edges, enhancing and highlighting its silhouette. An accessory designed to be positioned freely in the space that hosts it, set alongside dining tables as an additional seat, or coffee tables, where it is simply used to hold objects, or even as a nightstand for the night area.
Quincy Chevron
minotti > Styling
The deliberately clean design, in the shape of a parallelepiped, defined by a large volume, spotlights the chevron-patterned stitching that characterises the bench covering. The bench is available in two versions: Quincy, covered in fabric or leather, and Quincy Chevron, only in leather with stitching. The decorative pattern, which draws a series of stitched “V”s, wraps Quincy Chevron up in an interesting three-dimensional effect, highlighting the esprit couture of sartorial craftsmanship combined with bold, linear shapes. It is available in three sizes, in Nabuk and all the leathers and fabrics of the collection. It sits on brushed aluminium blades with polished varnished Brandy colour finish, that contrasts yet complements the texture of the covering. The bench can be used on its own or matched with the various seating systems, blending elegantly into living areas with a contemporary feel.
Fynn
minotti > Styling
Scandinavian values meet Italian tradition in Fynn, a project created by combining fine cabinet-making in the wooden elements and sophisticated upholstering with fabric or saddle-hide. The signature element of the Fynn seats is the armrest, elongated and slightly curved, rounded and smooth to the touch, 100% handmade. Its precise, well-defined line identifies the whole family of seats, in the two Fynn and Fynn Saddle-Hide versions. Covered with the exclusive fabrics and saddle-hides in the collection, it fully expresses the high level of the elegant sartorial process which has always been Minotti’s distinguishing mark. The family comprises armchairs, lounge and dining little armchairs, benches, footstools and coffee tables. The Fynn armchair and little armchairs feature an ultra-lightweight aesthetic with a simple structure in ash wood with Liquorice colour stained finish. This hosts a padded seat and backrest cushion, designed as a single element. The informal rigour with which Fynn hosts the upholstered element designs a comfortable seat that almost cradles the body, wrapping it in the warmth of the wooden structure. In the Fynn Saddle-Hide version, a single saddle-hide element incorporates both the seat and backrest. The armchair and lounge little armchair have separate padded cushioning, which is optional in the dining little armchair. The saddle-hide covering comes in an extensive colour palette: Burgundy, Ash, Dove Grey, Sage, Mud, Moka, Black, Bulgarian Red, Moss Green, Green, Pewter, Corten, White and Grey. The Fynn conceived for the dining area includes the version with fully padded shell and, alternatively, the Saddle-Hide version with or without cushion. The Fynn family of seats is completed by a footstool and some benches of different sizes, all with a cushion except for the benches in the Saddle-Hide version, which have a structure with a slightly concave top, combined with a saddle-hide covering that envelopes it like exquisite leather. The coffee tables also share the same line as the wooden armrest, which designs a slight curve also found in the structural and side parts. The central part of the coffee table is enhanced by the presence of the top in Calacatta marble, creating a sophisticated combination of materials.
Tuffet
minotti > Styling
A contemporary take on the traditional Moroccan ottoman, Tuffet, with its circular volume and the soft curve of its seat, adds a romantic touch to the living or night area. The fully detachable covering, in fabric or leather, features two sets of piping round the circumference, and seams with an embroidery that enables them to remain symmetrical yet follow the curve of the seat. Available in one size (Ø cm 70 H40) its base sports a glossy Pewter-coloured, lacquered finish, and sits on five invisible, full-swivel wheels.
Superquadra
minotti > Styling
Designed by Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan / studio mk27, the Superquadra furniture line takes its name from the pilot town planning design by Lúcio Costa with Oscar Niemeyer, conceived in 1956 for a residential neighbourhood of Brasilia and presented as a series of basic prefab houses. The square volumes of the famous buildings suspended on agile pilotis are revamped to characterise sideboards, benches, coffee tables, console table and tables of the Superquadra family. The architectural imprint that characterises the airy volumes of the Superquadra storage units, translates into the graphic minimalism of the Superquadra line of coffee tables, benches and console tables. The elements rest on a base with protruding legs, in aluminium with a polished Brandy varnished finish, giving the products an ultra-lightweight look. The discreet design is animated by a mix of fine quality materials - marble, wood, fabric and leather - used for the shelves and seats, and interpreted in a modern, textured style. With Superquadra, Marcio Kogan / studio mk27 reaffirms the identity of a style with its roots in the 1950s, sporting a mix of characteristics balanced between the past and the present. The benches, characterised by different densities of cushioning, are available in two heights (cm 34 and cm 42) and come in four versions: with all-fabric or leather covering (cm 126x128), with seat paired with a top in Dark Brown stained palisander Santos (cm 126x128), with seat set beside a top in Calacatta or Sahara Noir marble (cm 182x58) or with two tops, in solid wood and Calacatta marble or in wood and Sahara Noir marble (cm 182x102). The furnishing accessories are characterised by their bold textures, clearly visible in the versions that feature a distinctive top in a combination of marble and solid wood.
Torii Bold
minotti > Styling
Torii Bold is characterised by the contrast between the large, softly rounded volumes of the upholstery and the lightness of the metal base structure on which it rests. A family of seats created from the original iconic Torii design by Nendo studio, that retains the morphology of the backrest unchanged, while presenting a more solid and compact aesthetic: the two families dialogue harmoniously with each other in a clever interplay of full and empty volumes. The slim backrest is punctuated by a vertical quilting effect and piping, in eco-leather or eco-nubuck, that outlines the perimeter of the upholstery: sartorial details that emphasise the couture aspect of the craftsmanship. The feet, embellished with a small jewel-like button, preserve the interplay of vertical and horizontal elements inspired by the typical traditional Japanese manufacturing details from which the family takes its name, and accommodate the upholstered volume of the sofas and armchairs. The sofa has a gently curved silhouette in both the small and large sizes, both also available in a peninsula version. The armchairs, on the other hand, are available in a fixed or swivel version, the latter with a curved metal base that conceals the swivel mechanism. The ottomans, in different shapes and sizes, take up the design of the armchair base and, proposed on castors for easy movement, give the living room a more informal feel.
Daiki Studio
minotti > Armchair
Inspired by his many trips to Japan, the Daiki seat, part of the collection since 2020 in both indoor and outdoor versions, is the expression of the Brazilian architect’s passion for Japanese culture and is now available in an office version. Made using sophisticated wood crafting techniques, the curved body is composed of two elements joined at a 45° angle, which guarantee maximum comfort. In Dark Brown stained palisander Santos, or Black-coloured open-pore lacquered flamed ash wood, the body provides a snug fit for the cushioning. Daiki Studio is available in five versions, designed for different functions and uses. Alongside an Executive armchair on wheels, with high backrest and a five-spoke base in Bronze-coloured varnished steel – a 360° swivel base with no return mechanism, but with height and rocker adjustment mechanisms – four more armchairs with lower backrest are available: an armchair with the same characteristics of the Executive armchair, but smaller; an armchair with a 360° swivel base composed of four spokes and feet, with return mechanism; a lounge armchair with legs in aluminium and, finally, a version of the same piece that is 10 cm taller, ideal for setting beside a table or a desk. All the armchairs can be completely covered in leather or fabric, or feature armrests in Carbone-coloured Aspen leather and fabric cushioning. The cover, in leather or fabric, always features stitching, except in the Executive version, which also sports a slightly quilted effect. Daiki Studio offers a design that explores and reinterprets the American Mid-Century moods in its bold, clean lines, fine materials and balanced proportions.
Brasilia
minotti > Armchair
Brasilia, designed by Marcio Kogan / studio mk27, has an ultra-precise, contemporary, minimal style, rooted in Brazilian modernism. Minotti has successfully incorporated Kogan’s stylistic trademarks into the 2021 Collection, blending their charm with that of the overall design concept. A family of furniture with a highly innovative profile that reinterprets shapes from the past, transforming their apparent simplicity into a form of real beauty that conceals an intricately complex design concept: by juxtaposing different materials with strong powers of expression, it offers a new take on the distinctive style that identifies the Minotti brand. A design that looks to the future, made to stand the test of time and become a new classic. The family hosts a range of seats for different environments, from the living to the night area, including sofas, elements with one armrest, an armchair and ottoman, and a varied selection for the bedroom. It is characterised by a Mid-Century aesthetic revisited and modernised not only in its lines and volumes, but also in its use of materials, in particular Dark Brown stained palisander Santos, and in its elegant structural details. In this proposal, the distinctive characteristics of the Minotti brand are clearly visible: it does not focus so much on the design in terms of its shape, but rather on the project’s cultural elements, offering a new take on classic lines, volumes and proportions, and showcasing original new uses of materials. The seats, conceived for the home environment, can also play an original role in hospitality settings, given the wide variety of elements, coverings and configurations to choose from. The strong architectural feel conveyed by the volumes and proportions of Brasilia points to the world of Marcio Kogan, his interiors and architectures, paying tribute to the period of great cultural ferment that swept through Brazil in the 1950s, in which Oscar Niemeyer and Lùcio Costa were prominent figures. The seating elements are enclosed in a square frame in Dark Brown stained palisander Santos, sourced from responsibly managed forests, accommodating a system of even, comfortable padding, offering a comfy, cushioned seat. With their airy look, they rest on metal feet with a polished Brandy finish, a prime example of the continuous and constant interaction of materials exploited by Kogan - wood, metal, fabric, and leather - to evoke warmth and comfort. The Brasilia range comprises two sizes of sofa (196 and 273 cm in length), elements with one armrest in various lengths with and without a top - made of slender staves in Dark Brown stained Canaletto walnut or one piece in Dark Brown stained palisander Santos -, an armchair and a small ottoman.
Lido
minotti > Armchair
The welcoming nest shape of the Lido family of seats by Italian-Danish duo GamFratesi is the hallmark of its design. The curved silhouette that outlines the body on which the padding of the seat sits now also comes in a two-seater sofa version: a compact furnishing piece, ideal for both home and Hospitality spaces. The design, inspired by the 1950s, recalls the typical stylistic marks of Brutalist architectures, here softened by the masterful use of textured fabrics and comfortable, ergonomic cushions. The volume of the sofa is raised from the ground by four solid wood legs, in Moka-coloured open-pore ash or Canaletto walnut with a Dark Brown stained veneer. Alternatively, it can rest on the iconic X-shaped aluminium base with Moka-coloured open-pore ash finish, imbuing this object with timeless beauty and making it easy to pair with the other furnishing pieces in the collection. The base and legs are enhanced by an interesting decorative insert in Bronze-coloured varnished steel at the top of the legs. The two-seater sofa completes the Lido family, which includes armchairs, ottomans, lounge armchair and dining little armchair - only with legs in solid wood - and coffee tables that sit on the iconic X-shaped base, with round or square top in Bianconero marble or ash wood with a Moka open-pore lacquered finish.
Daiki
minotti > Armchair
Designed by Marcio Kogan / studio mk27, Daiki is a family of seats inspired by the Brazilian architect's passion for Japan and its culture. The range includes comfortable bergères, fixed and swivel armchairs, with or without armrests, and a fixed footstool. Available with a matt polyester lacquered Palisander Santos shell, in the same Dark Brown stained wood or in Licorice lacquered flamed ash, the seat is made using an exclusive woodworking technique and consists of two elements joined at 45° to obtain a backrest inclination that guarantees maximum comfort. The fixed armchairs feature metal legs in a black-nickel finish, while the swivel seats are supported by a metal base with spokes, swivelling 360° with return, on which a comfortable cushion seats, contained in the curved wooden body. The base of the latter is also available in two different finishes: varnished polished Bronze to match the Palisander Santos frame with matt polyester lacquered finish or Dark Brown stain, or varnished Black Coffee finish for the ash frame. In the version with leather upholstery, the cushions are quilted with visible stitching, while the fabric version only features stitching. Daiki proposes a design that refers to the moods of Mid-Century America in its bold, simple lines, fine materials and balanced proportions.
Belt
minotti > Armchair
The distinctive characteristic and inspiration behind the Belt family, designed in the all-fabric or leather versions, is the idea of a belt that draws the profile of the body, encircling it, then breaking off and fastening on the front of the seat. In particular, in the leather version, the strip is sewn onto a piece of bonded leather to lend support and ensure a consistent thickness: it is applied to the covering as a belt is applied to a dress and an ultra-sophisticated crafting process is required to follow the curved shape of the seat and keep the visible seams perfectly straight and even. With its classic shape, the foam body designs a shell-like, enveloping backrest that welcomes and protects. The seat rests on a die-cast aluminium base with a polished Brandy-coloured anti-touch varnished finish, which enhances the armchair and, in its leather version, recalls the metal finishes of exquisite leather bags. The base is also available in Dark Brown stained Canaletto walnut or Black lacquered open-pore flamed ash. The family consists of a sofa, an armchair, a bergère with footstool, a smaller lounge armchair, and a dining little armchair.
Twiggy
minotti > Armchair
Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, Twiggy is the family of seats that stands out for its ability to revolutionise living spaces with an unprecedented ideal of timeless beauty. Twiggy presents itself with different elements, always distinguished by Minotti's sophisticated sartorial taste. The family originated as a single armchair in the Small, Large and Deep versions, with and without armrests, but embellished with stitching that reveals the depth of the brand's manufacturing know-how combined with its great ability to make even the most sculptural seats extremely comfortable. In addition to the armchair, the range includes benches, couches, a chaise-longue and a dormeuse, which can be used as elegant individual elements to be freely inserted into the living room, creating a modular system that can be modelled as desired with the greatest of ease. A new aggregative language is born: free from schemes and preconfigurations, capable of adapting to needs in continuous evolution. The Twiggy seating elements have rigorous geometric shapes but are extremely comfortable and enveloping, covered in leather, nubuck or fabric and embellished with refined stitching. The curved, dynamic design of the base, made of brushed semi-polished aluminium or aluminium with a Black Coffee colour polished varnish, is one of the details that contribute to making these seats unique and destined to redefine the concept of style.
Yoko
minotti > Armchair
Yoko, a light and elegant seating design; a Japanese name and Scandinavian lines that come together in a piece of furniture with an aesthetic matrix, flavoured by both cultures. A contrast in constant equilibrium thanks to the skilful craftsmanship of the Japanese-Danish couple Inoda+Sveje. The continuous cross-reference between the two cultures, their styles and manufacturing skills shapes a project composed of an armchair, a dining little armchair and a bench/footstool characterised by a dual lightness: physical and aesthetic. Delicate and sinuous lines, created with precious cabinet-making interlocking techniques that enrich the structure of legs and armrests in solid ash open pore wood lacquered with a Liquorice colour, or in solid Canaletto walnut stained Light Brown, a chromatic choice that lends a more decisive tone to the elegance of the silhouette. The wooden frame has a joint where the leg meets the armrest, both at the front and at the back: a structural joint that becomes decorative thanks to the clever use of the wooden material. In this project, the great expertise in woodworking that has always been characteristic of Nordic and Japanese craftsmanship meets the historical know-how of a Made in Italy company that has been an expert in exquisite upholstered furniture for decades. Yoko is the harmonious union of technology, elegance and comfort.
Sendai
minotti > Armchair
Named after the city of trees, Sendai, this line of furnishing pieces consists of a small sofa, an armchair, a lounge armchair and dining and lounge little armchairs. Like slender trunks, the elegant, polished legs, in Canaletto walnut solid wood stained Light Brown, or Licorice lacquered ash, rest on the ground, lifting the enveloping upholstered body and creating a soft rhythm of vertical lines. The possibility of having the armchair, the dining little armchair and the lounge armchair also in the 360° swivel version with return (base in polished Bronze-coloured varnished metal, with sheathed spokes in solid ash with an open-pore Licorice-coloured lacquer, or in solid Canaletto walnut with Light Brown stain) makes the Sendai seats particularly comfortable for both residential and hospitality environments. The compact and well-proportioned silhouette of both the seats and the small sofa, opens up to a new way of using the dining space: as a living room within the living room, a hybrid situation, such as when dinner is served on a large table, while guests meet and socialise round a lounge table. A new, more intimate way of opening up new visual and proportional horizons of the living space, both in homes and in hospitality veues. In 2023, the elegant and airy Sendai family of seats expands, with a new enveloping sofa, a comfortable swivel armchair with armrests and a footstool. The design of the armchair, with its upholstered frame resting on a 360° swivel base with return mechanism, also stems from the desire to have a larger seat whose comfort is ensured by a higher backrest and the presence of comfortable armrests, perfect for ensuring a satisfying sensation of relaxation, especially when used in combination with the footrest.
Capri Base
minotti > Armchair
Capri Base is the new edition of the iconic Capri armchair designed by Gordon Guillaumier. The result of a design study based on subtraction, Capri Base appears as a sculptural form emptied inside to create a soft curved shell, made even more comfortable by its goose-down seat cushion. The only concession to geometric rigour is the square Pewter-coloured metal base on which the upholstered volume rests. The side zips on the front of the armchair perform both an aesthetic function of decoration and a practical function, as they make the cover removable: a tailoring detail that contributes to making this furnishing piece a timeless icon. Capri Base can be completed with ottomans from the same family, available in two different sizes.
Sally
minotti > Armchair
Inspired by the timeless aesthetics of modernist architecture, the Sally armchair combines elegance and comfort with absolute geometric rigour. This furnishing piece stands out for its surprisingly well-balanced proportions and the sartorial elegance of the stitching on the backrest and armrests. The enveloping seat is made particularly comfortable by the cradle-effect backrest which, with its arched shape, creates a special feeling of cosiness. The upholstered seat base has a tapered shape that supports the backrest, armrests and seat, thus discreetly delineating the perimeter of the armchair. Proposed in the swivel version, its base consists of a metal cylinder available with a Bronze or polished Chrome finish. The cylindrical ottoman is available in the same finishes, and in the version with castors, it is easy to move, making it suitable for multiple uses in the living room.
Raphael
minotti > Armchair
The characteristic light and sophisticated style trait of Italian-Danish duo GamFratesi inspires Raphael: a new way of designing the living space thanks to the use of single furnishing pieces with refined tailoring, capable of becoming protagonists of the space, and expressing the same comfort as traditional modular seating systems. Three sofa variants, four types of armchairs, two dining little armchairs and two footstools, all conceived as adaptable to smaller domestic contexts, while still meeting the high demands of decorators and interior designers. Organic forms, with generous and cosy proportions, are enhanced by sophisticated upholstery that masterfully interprets its distinctive sinuous lines. The Raphael sofas and armchairs stands on the floor on modern feet in die-cast Bronze or polished Pewter aluminium or Licorice-stained ash, the design of which adapts to the morphology of the seating shapes. The result is a furnishing piece with classic forms reinterpreted in a modern key. The armchairs are also available with a swivel four-spoke die-cast aluminium base in Bronze or polished Pewter. Each individual element of the family has its own identity and silhouette. The sofas are available in three variants: linear, semi-curved and asymmetrical semi-curved, the latter animated by the series of sinuous lines given by the backrest, punctuated by a gentle change of heights. The armchairs are characterised by their comfortable seating, not only in the larger model, but also in the smaller version and in the dining version, which is available both fixed, with legs in Licorice-coloured ash, and with a swivel four-spoke die-cast aluminium base in Bronze or polished Pewter. The details, shapes and overall aesthetics of Raphael make it a contemporary furnishing piece with a timeless character, designed to meet the different situations of everyday life: from moments dedicated to relaxation to those conceived for conviviality, from hospitality occasions to the more intimate ones of domestic life.
Torii Bold
minotti > Armchair
Torii Bold is characterised by the contrast between the large, softly rounded volumes of the upholstery and the lightness of the metal base structure on which it rests. A family of seats created from the original iconic Torii design by Nendo studio, that retains the morphology of the backrest unchanged, while presenting a more solid and compact aesthetic: the two families dialogue harmoniously with each other in a clever interplay of full and empty volumes. The slim backrest is punctuated by a vertical quilting effect and piping, in eco-leather or eco-nubuck, that outlines the perimeter of the upholstery: sartorial details that emphasise the couture aspect of the craftsmanship. The feet, embellished with a small jewel-like button, preserve the interplay of vertical and horizontal elements inspired by the typical traditional Japanese manufacturing details from which the family takes its name, and accommodate the upholstered volume of the sofas and armchairs. The sofa has a gently curved silhouette in both the small and large sizes, both also available in a peninsula version. The armchairs, on the other hand, are available in a fixed or swivel version, the latter with a curved metal base that conceals the swivel mechanism. The ottomans, in different shapes and sizes, take up the design of the armchair base and, proposed on castors for easy movement, give the living room a more informal feel.
Luggage
minotti > Bed frame
Light lines and the most sophisticat-ed technology interplay in this design enhanced by the use of a timeless, appealing material like saddle-hide, for added value that goes beyond time and fashion. The Luggage chaise-longue is an impeccable marriage of comfort and elegance. A product of nature, skillfully shaped by human knowledge into soft shapes and tamed to become the fabric of objects meant to last.
Andersen
minotti > Bed frame
Also part of the Andersen collection are the Andersen Paolina chaise-longue with armrest and the Andersen Daybed, chaise-longue without armrest. Both feature a raised frame with the typical pressure-cast aluminum feet in Pewter-colored finish, and single seat cushion with lightly quilted motif. Andersen Paolina vailable in both 142 cm and 170 cm lengths. Its clean lines lend sophisticated styling to both living and sleeping areas.
Aston
minotti > Bed frame
Aston is a family of individual pieces, including a sofa, daybed, armchairs, ottomans, stools and chairs, custom-designed to furnish homes and hospitality spaces with style and elegance and while maintaining the dialog between indoors and out. Inspiration for the sofa, ottoman and Aston daybed is unabashedly retro; what they have in common are eloquent lines, a more conservative scale and the kind of painstaking construction that expresses time-tested artisan craftsmanship. The sofa features an enveloping back that is echoed in the lines of the armrest; it is raised off the floor on Pewter color cast aluminum feet that underscore its fine design qualities.
Twiggy
minotti > Bed frame
Twiggy expands in 2023 with the addition of a new element: a dormeuse with a rigorous yet comfortable and enveloping design, distinguished by the sophisticated sartorial taste of the family of seats to which it belongs. The upholstered volumes of the backrest and seat, characterised by the unique double inclination for absolute comfort, rest on the iconic curved base in brushed aluminium or Black Coffee. The Twiggy dormeuse is enhanced by a functional upholstered element, integrated into the design of the seat by way of a special crafting technique, which can be positioned as desired and used as either a headrest or for lumbar support.
Dylan
minotti > Sofa
The instinct for the continuity of shapes, and lines, and for consistency of language and style typical of Minotti’s modus operandi, is embodied in the Dylan modular seating system. A multifaceted and versatile lexicon in which the rigour of forms is combined with their ability to accommodate. Refined and articulated volumes come together to bring to life a system expressed in three variants capable of meeting different areas of taste and as many ways of experiencing the domestic and Hospitality spaces. Dylan, in the version with a suspended base raised 13,5 cm from the ground by thin extruded aluminium blades in Bronze or Pewter colour, has a particularly airy and modern feel, matching a more contemporary style, at the same time shining a spotlight on its couturier details. A project that offers a perfect balance between design essentiality and density of details combining light aesthetics with high quality comfort. The Dylan Small version takes up the same aesthetic, but with a more compact depth, specifically designed to bring the same taste of high tailoring into smaller domestic environments or more calibrated Hospitality spaces. Dylan Low, finally, sits only 7,5 cm off the ground and expresses a more classic and traditional personality, in line with a formal aesthetic taste. The fil rouge linking the three different types is represented by the seat and backrest cushions, punctuated by soft, couture-inspired stitching, which make this system a timeless classic, albeit with novel and contemporary flexibility and modularity. The rigorous shapes of the Dylan modular seating system, however, go beyond the stitching of the cushions, turning into volumes in which the geometries become sinuous and enveloping, thanks to the soft curves of the backrest and armrest that create a fulfilling sense of cosiness. The complex and sophisticated manufacturing construction also animates the suspended base of Dylan, which uses the same tailoring technique developed for the Connery modular seating system: the leather or fabric strips are sewn together by means of webbing and punctuated by stitching that gives rhythm to the seat cushioning and adds a further couture note to the design of the project. Every detail of Dylan combines the tailoring of the upholstery with the multifaceted vision of a rational architecture that passes from the space to the furniture, balancing and perfectly integrating it with the contemporary way of interpreting and experiencing living spaces.
Dylan Small
minotti > Sofa
The rigorous and welcoming modular seating system Dylan is also available in a version with a more compact seat depth. Introducing Dylan Small, a system that combines the sophisticated aesthetics of its cushions with the lightness of a contemporary base raised 13,5 cm from the floor. The upholstered volumes are reduced in depth, making Dylan Small a perfect fit even in smaller domestic environments or in Hospitality spaces. The project expresses the perfect balance between the simplicity of the design and the wealth of refined details with a couture flavour, such as the sophisticated stitching and the sinuous curve that outlines the backrests and armrests. Dylan Small picks up the complex manufacturing technique used in the original Dylan suspended base, in which leather or fabric strips are sewn together with straps and marked out by stitching that adds rhythm to the seat cushioning. All the expert craftsmanship accrued in Minotti’s 75 years of heritage concentrated in a compact and versatile volume.
Dylan Low
minotti > Sofa
The timeless, multifaceted stylistic language of the distinguished yet cosy Dylan modular seating system is also expressed in the Dylan Low version. With a more classic and traditional identity, raised 7,5 cm off the ground, this version effortlessly interprets a timeless taste. It is capable of expressing multiple aesthetic and compositional languages, fitting with ease into environments with different uses. With its sophisticated wealth of subtle, but important details, such as the stitching and the curved silhouette of the backrest and armrest, Dylan Low stands out for its ability to make a discreet yet strong impact.
