Pilotis "Console"
minotti > Console
Pilotis is the console table that adds character to the space it inhabits with the sculptural energy of its Brutalist-inspired design. The cylindrical polished steel frame of the base is grafted into a hollow half-cylinder with the same finish, arranged horizontally, which houses a brushed Licorice lacquered ash volume that serves as the top. The power of this detail is also clearly visible from the side elevation in which the materiality of the wood stands out. The strong personality of Pilotis "Console" endows it with such expressive freedom that it can be used in a variety of environments.
Tape
minotti > Sofa
Signed by the eclectic Japanese studio Nendo, directed by Oki Sato, Tape is a collection of seats with a strong personality, characterised by the light silhouette, and consists of a comprehensive range of models: armchair with and without armrests, lounge armchair, bergère, two and three seater sofa and ottoman. With his distinctive ironic approach, the designer overturns the traditional idea of the support feet that come out of the body of the seat, placing them externally to the structure. Tape owes its name to the couture detail, conceived as a piece of ribbon that holds the Bronze-coloured metal feet. A real tribute by Nendo to the sartorial experience of Minotti. The soft curve of the shell, which designs the armrest and that accommodates the soft back cushion, highlights the pure and enveloping line of the armchair. Customizable in a wide range of leather and fabric coverings, it presents two possible sets of pairings. In one version, the fabric covers the back and the seat cushion, while the shell and the tape detail are in leather of the same colour; in the other, the textile envelops the back, the seat cushion and the entire shell, while the tape detail is in Bronze-coloured saddle-hide. With its firm formal identity and its impeccable proportions, Tape becomes the protagonist of the space that welcomes it, both in residential and hospitality contexts.
Andersen Slim 90
minotti > Sofa
Andersen Slim sofas are also available in a version with seat depth trimmed to 90 cm. This detail, along with the slim armrest, makes it possible to craft smaller pieces suited to lounges, waiting rooms, corporate offices and suites. Andersen Slim 90 features a single, smooth seat cushion; while the Andersen Slim 90 Quilt has the single seat cushion embellished with a lightly quilted motif. Both are available only with the raised frame.
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.
Horizonte
minotti > Coffee table
In addition to the top, interspersed between the cushions, the Horizonte family also includes coffee tables and a side table. The latter has been designed in perfect aesthetic continuity with the Horizonte seating system, from which it takes both the detail of the matt black varnished metal base and the thickness of the top: a horizontal groove engraved on the solid wood bullnose edge recalls the same concept of geometry used in the base. The coffee and side tables also reflect the same style, with floor support in polished Bronze varnished metal and tops in Dark Brown stained Canaletto walnut or Liquorice coloured ash. The different sizes and heights of the coffee and side tables allow for a play of superimpositions that invigorates the horizontality of the entire family.
Calder "Console"
minotti > Console
A console with a clean, understated style that comes in a variety of finishes for a multitude of uses in various rooms inside the home. The hand-crafted or matt black solid iron structure can be teamed with the following tops: ebony veneer with a matt or glossy clear polyester finish, natural brushed oak, open pore Grey, Moka or Black tinted oak, lacquered in a variety of refined nuances and Black Marquina marble.
Lounge Seymour
minotti > Sofa
Designed to furnish hospitality settings with style and elegance, Lounge Seymour offers restrained proportions and curves that express a feeling of intimacy and discretion. Soft shapes, diminished proportions and sinuous lines - the Lounge Seymour system was designed specifically for furnishing hospitality settings where relaxation and sociability speak the language of refined elegance. Particular to Lounge Seymour are the one-piece seat cushions embellished with subtle top stitching which allow for the creation of unique, asymmetrical compositions. Lounge Seymour becomes even more casual when outfitted with the cushions, made of soft feather down and available in two sizes: 40x40 cm and 50x50 cm. Thanks to its smaller seat depth, Lounge Seymour is also a brilliant solution to designing residential interiors where space is at a premium. The variety of available elements and pairing with Catlin and Elliott coffee tables allow for refreshing, casual, open compositions.
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.
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.
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.
Sunray
minotti > Armchair
Sunray designs a new, open-air landscape where exquisite design and carefully researched comfort join forces to create an intimate, relaxing atmosphere. With its enveloping design, the Sunray seating system is inspired by the desire to design situations that convey a sensation of intimacy and relaxation, in line with the concept of open-air living that imitates the comfort and beauty of indoor furnishing solutions. Sunray is designed both to play a leading role in outdoor settings and to complement the other furnishing pieces in the collection. It juxtaposes different shapes and materials: its airy surface in natural teak wood defines its horizontal line, while the curved backrest with interwoven cords gives it a dynamic allure. The system, composed of pieces that can be used alone or combined together, offers a variety of compositional solutions thanks to the high versatility of its elements. 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. The wide choice of the fabrics of the 2020 Textile Collection means Sunray can be personalised with exclusive textures and an extensive colour range. The natural teak top with sloping section sits on a polished Bronze metal structure: it is tapered on the edges and hosts the mattress-like cushioning of the seat. The backrest is characterised by a tubular profile covered in flat cord, in Bronze and Ecru colour, which designing a linear weave.
Milton "Nightstand"
minotti > Cabinet
Formed by the juxtaposition of suspended geometric volumes and reduced heights, the Milton side tables are available in the circular, square, rectangular and trapezoidal versions. The geometries are softened by the rounded corners that recall the sinuous curves of the Alexander "Drop" seating system. Characterized by a more contemporary and decorative reinterpretation of the lines of the Seventies, they showcase a refined game of combinations of precious materials and organic geometries. The recessed plinth in Light Bronze-painted satin metal transforms the supporting structure in a seemingly floating element. Closed by a band in Moka-tainted brushed oak, the frame holds the top in Zebrino marble or Black pâte de verre. Despite the generous proportions of the tops, due to their reduced height, the tables are not invasive in the living space, but function as pleasantly decorative and functional island elements. The family is completed by squared items that feature drawers or a void space, which is enhanced by a sheet of satin-finished metal that covers the internal surface. The latter is also available in a revolving version.
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.
