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.
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.
Catlin "Console"
minotti > Console
If the Catlin console table is simple by design, the choice of materials offers exciting combinations for creating bold visual and tactile effects. The elegant metal base features a cross-pattern motif and invites some unique combinations: textured black-painted paired with bright Chrome or Gold finish, for very different stylistic interpretations. The suggested combinations of materials for innovative elegance continues with the table top options, available in two rare and luxurious marbles like Arabescato Purple or Sahara Noir, with polished finish.
Cross Flag
minotti > Carpet
Entirely handcrafted according to an ancient Indian handicraft tradition, Cross Flag is the rug with an aesthetic that sums up the meeting of different cultures, enhancing the characteristics of the weaving technique and the material with which it is made. The use of the rarest and most precious wools and the fringe at the end make it a precious furnishing accessory; on the other hand, the backing bound with a compact weave of breathable and stabilising cotton guarantees maximum durability. The irregularity of its design is carefully controlled by the inclusion of frisé wool yarns in the weft and warp weave, giving the rug as a whole a soft three-dimensional appearance, with a thickness of 26/28 mm. The Cross Flag rug is available in one version only with a 2/3 in White colour and 1/3 in Ash colour for the background, a black border and white fringes. The colours proposed are soft neutral shades that harmonise perfectly with the colours of the materials used for the frames and upholstered elements of the seats in the collection.
Taiko
minotti > Coffee table
Designed by the Nendo studio, this side table is an icon of refined simplicity. Taiko presents the solid materiality typical of the Minotti manufacturing style: it is made of cast aluminium with a Bronze or Black Coffee varnished finish and comes in two versions, both with oval-shaped tops: one version has a more generous surface, but a lower height, ideal for a lounge situation, while the other has a smaller surface, but is taller in height. Taiko is the perfect furnishing accessory for both a classic lounge situation and a modern informal dining context and ideally fits in both indoor and open-air spaces, ensuring chromatic and stylistic continuity with the other furnishing pieces in the Minotti collection.
Freeman "Tailor"
minotti > Sofa
With its highly innovative personality, Freeman “Tailor” interprets the current widespread need to create dynamic, differently accessorized islands of relaxation in which to live more intimately - like for reading and chilling out completely, or more social moments like conversing or spending time with family and friends. Freeman “Tailor” is an orderly clustering of shapes, with one-piece seats decorated with elegant stitching that accentuates its graphic, modern personality. The sophisticated tailoring of the upholstery reveals the company’s expertise in executing extremely complex fine-tailoring techniques. The pieces in fabric are assembled using a strip of eco-leather and double-stitched motif that lend a unique sense of depth. Freeman “Tailor” displays a bold personality and a cheerful spirit sufficient to carry the starring role or to co-star when paired with Freeman “Duvet” elements.
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.
Aston
minotti > Sofa
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.
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.
Brasilia Bed
minotti > Bed frame
The same Mid-Century Contemporary style that distinguishes the large, varied collection of Brasilia seats, also characterises the design of the night area, introducing a bed with a bold personality. Airy, and elevated from the ground, it sports a large wooden equipped headboard that embraces the padded part of the bed, the latter available in two heights. Its enveloping Dark Brown stained palisander Santos or in open-pore oak with a Honey stained veneer structure is characterised by its staved headboard and ends in two bedside tables/occasional tables, one at each side. These are available in two versions, one with shelf and one with drawer; both are suspended and available in two sizes. The boxspring base, on which the mattress lies, is available with the fabric or leather covering, the same featured on the padded headboard, enhanced with stitching. The bed also comes in a more minimal version, without the wooden structure. Each size of the boxspring base, in a choice of five widths, can generate various configurations, based on the choice of equipped headboard and its accessories, drawer or shelf.
Torii Bold
minotti > Sofa
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.
Landfield Stripes
minotti > Carpet
The Landfield Stripes variant further reinforces the decorative role of this rug, which stands out for the abstract linearity of its design and the sophisticated elegance of its colour combinations, with neutral shades such as Pearl or Titanium set alongside the deeper shades of Malachite, Corten and Stone.
Patio
minotti > Armchair
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.
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.
Lido "Cord" Outdoor
minotti > Outdoor furniture
The Lido family, by the GamFratesi studio, is a design that perfectly expresses Minotti’s will to create a single design for different indoor and outdoor environments: the technology and material that go into the pieces define their intended use. The Lido Cord Outdoor family is composes of a semi-curved lounge sofa, a linear two-seater sofa, an armchair, a dining little armchair and a lounge little armchair, with an enveloping design reminiscent of a comfy nest, also complemented by a bench and an ottoman. The frame of the backrest is in Bronze-coloured painted stainless steel, and it is covered with polypropylene cords in tones that can span from the more traditional shades of Sand, Dark Brown and Black, to brighter shades such as Citron, Dark Blue and Teal. All colours - with the exception of Black, which gives the piece character and a strong identity- related to images of faraway landscapes that bring freshness to this family of outdoor furnishing pieces with a look inspired by the 1950s. The semi-curved lounge sofa, in particular, is characterised by a Bronze varnished aluminium base with polished anti-touch finish, the ultimate distinguishing mark of its bold sculptural look: on one hand 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 other elements of the family, on the other hand, rest on legs in Dark Brown solid mahogany, or solid teak, while the coffee tables reiterate the design of the X-shaped aluminium sofa base of the semi-curved lounge sofa. The coffee tables come in four sizes and two heights, with circular or square top in brushed, fine-grain Basaltina stone, which rests on the crib-shaped base.
Dalton "Chrome"
minotti > Cabinet
The Dalton Chrome bookcase, with its highly sophisticated contemporary look and apparent formal simplicity, stands out for its stylish combination of finishes and materials. Conceived to characterise the living space with character and personality, Dalton Chrome features a Polished Chrome metal frame available in three different versions: with thick shelves in Black oak matched with glossy lacquered Warm Grey or Granite back panels, with shelves in Santos palisander with glossy lacquered White or Granite back panels or shelves in Dark Brown stained palisander Santos combined with Black ash back panels. A distinctive furnishing element sporting a bold, rigorous horizontal design punctuated by vertical metal segments, it cleverly matches and offsets different materials and finishes, adding a note of elegance to the design of the project.
Oliver "Lounge"
minotti > Table
Oliver fully interprets the classic contemporary value characteristic of the Minotti style code in every setting. Available in different finishes, the tops of this series of tables are available in Calacatta marble, Stone Grey with glossy polyester lacquer finish, Moka open-pore lacquered ash, as well as Arabescato Grigio marble for all sizes and Canaletto walnut stained Dark Brown. The frame of the Oliver Lounge, in Black-Nickel, polished Pewter or Bronze colours, presents a distinctive visual effect, produced by the metal stem that sinuously connects to the base. The support opens up with a slight flaring in the circle of the base, offering a continuous polished surface.
