Torii Nest "Outdoor"
minotti > Outdoor furniture
Designed for indoor environments in 2020, Torii Nest migrates to open-air living spaces, bringing to life an entire family of seats. With structural details linked to Japanese tradition, the chairs and sofas play with round edged volumes, thin profiles and the apparent formal simplicity of an extremely intricate design. The painted tubular steel frame of the woven cord backrest in the shades Ecru, Dark Brown and Oil Green sports a design inspired by cane, but with a larger mesh that lets light and air through. It sits on a base in natural teak or Dark Brown mahogany, supported by painted aluminium legs with a shiny, Bronze-coloured, anti-touch finish. With its sophisticated, light look, Torii Nest Outdoor comes in pieces of different sizes and types, from fixed and swivel armchair to two-seater sofa with curved silhouette and round chaise-longue, all designed to meet a variety of requirements, both in terms of functionality and ergonomics. The ethereal appearance of these furnishing pieces dialogues harmoniously with their extreme materiality: the backrest, an enveloping nest, embraces and encloses the soft cushions resting on a solid natural teak frame. A succession of materials with a strong tactile impact and a welcoming feel, as if these sofas were primarily places in which to let go and relax. A design that is at times romantic and at times contemporary, thanks to its compact proportions, it easily fits into the decor on metropolitan terraces and in hospitality settings, satisfying both the most classic and the most modern aesthetic tastes.
Belt "Cord" Outdoor
minotti > Outdoor furniture
The enveloping and comfortable body of the Belt seats designed for indoor use in 2021 also shapes the outdoor version. The band which, in the original design, outlines the silhouette of the volume recalling the shape of a belt, in its outdoor version becomes a corded contour in the colours Sand and Dark Brown, covering the polished Bronze steel frame. The seats rest on a matt varnished aluminium base, in the shades of Ecru and Dark Brown, reiterating the colours of the cord, and feature padded cushions with extra-durable polyurethane foam inserts, covered in water-repellent fibre and fabric. The Belt Cord Outdoor family is composed of a two-seater sofa, bergère, armchair, footstool, lounge armchair and dining little armchair, all also available with natural finish teak legs. With a more classic feel and a warmer aesthetic, this version can be easily combined with all the other furnishing pieces in the outdoor collection.
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 "Outdoor"
minotti > Coffee table
In Fynn, Scandinavian values meet Italian tradition. A contemporary design for outdoor spaces in teak wood, crafted with fine cabinet-making workmanship. With a completely innovative approach, the fine cabinet-making process used for the manufacturing of outdoor wooden furniture is applied to a family of outdoor furnishing pieces in solid teak, combining sophisticated workmanship with an ultra-contemporary design. Characterised by an interwoven frame that hosts soft seat and backrest cushions, Fynn has in the armrest its signature element. Elongated and slightly curved, rounded and smooth to the touch, it is completely handmade: its precise, well-defined line identifies the entire family, composed of armchair, lounge and dining little armchairs, benches, footstools, coffee tables in different sizes and a dining table. The Fynn Outdoor armchair and little armchairs feature a distinctive ultra-lightweight aesthetic with a simple structure in teak. The frame is interwoven with wicker-effect cords in Mud colour, hosting a padded seat and backrest cushion, designed as a single element. The informal rigour with which Fynn Outdoor hosts the padded element designs a comfortable seat. The bench completes the family. Its cushions sit on a frame interwoven with wicker-effect cords in Mud colour. The coffee tables also share the same line as the wooden armrest, which designs a slight curve also found in the rounded sides of the top. The central part of the coffee table is enhanced by the presence of the top in Pietra del Cardoso, creating a sophisticated combination of materials.
Quadrado
minotti > Armchair
Designed with the same rationalistic approach that pervades the architectures of the Brazilian designer, the Quadrado armchair sports minimal square shapes and a reclining backrest recalling the classic Teak duckboard, the element that characterises the Quadrado modular system, presented in 2018. The Teak structure, with metal details in Bronze finish, have straight armrests and accommodate the padded cushions of the backrest and seat. The perfect relaxation companion, the armchair slips seamlessly into the various arrangements of the Quadrado system, and can also be used individually or together with other seats.
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.
Roger "Throw"
minotti > Styling
The fully hand-made double-face Roger 100% cashmere wool plaid is crafted by combining two pieces of cashmere wool fabric in different colours, and adding a border in Nabuk. Available in Ecru/Hemp, Grey/Moka and Green/Dove Grey.
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.
Freeman
minotti > Sofa
Innovating interior living space design through a seating system displaying into a variety of elements, with different features, a strong aesthetic identity, elegant proportions and unrivaled comfort. Freeman embodies this dual identity: the Freeman “Duvet” elements feature smooth, enveloping lines and extra-soft cushions that, like a warm embrace, induce a feeling of pure relaxation. Freeman “Duvet” combines soothing design elements and especially sophisticated construction details steeped in tradition that evoke classical modern perfection. The Freeman “Tailor” elements express a different personality, with their more defined shapes and one-piece seats enhanced with top-stitching that accents their graphic nature and contemporary spirit. The wedding of these two spirits makes it possible to create “multitasking” compositions, with a dynamic air that characterize different moments in the day and different ways of using the sofa. The Freeman seating system deservedly takes center stage in any living space, in which to enjoy the intimacy of family or entertain friends in an elegant, yet informal setting. The base of the sofa is finished with an elegant, extruded aluminum frame with rounded edges in a glossy bronze painted finish. The cast aluminum joint fittings located at the corners are a defining detail that lends an air of sophistication to the sofa base. The sofa is raised off the floor on refined metal feet with a glossy bronze painted finish for an effect of overall lightness.
Braid Rug
minotti > Carpet
The Braid “Rug” features a plaited structure made of permeable, breathable acrylic yarn, making this rug ideal even in humid environments. The acrylic yarn braids are joined by sturdy, invisible stitching. The rug is finished with a braided border on two sides. The Braid “Rug” comes in four shades – Pewter, Forest Green, Ecru and Chocolate – that coordinate with the most popular kinds of outdoor paving and with the materials and fabrics in the new collection.
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.
Roger Bed
minotti > Bed frame
With its minimal design and dynamic shape, the Roger Bed picks up the same concept as the Roger seating system, both in its airy look, and in the couture-style aesthetic of the headboard, quilted with sophisticated horizontal seams and trimmed with piping along the perimeter. Its versatility means it can be covered with all the fabrics and leather in the exclusive Minotti collection, making it the perfect addition to many different styles of night areas. The slender, suspended platform base is of sartorial design, covered in fabric or leather and decorated with sophisticated details and lapped seams: the leather bands of the structural base are sewn together using ribbons and crafted with the same technique used in the finest leather luggage-crafting. The bed, also proposed in the version with leather bedstead and fabric headboard, offers absolute comfort, thanks also to the diagonal slant of the headboard, reminiscent of the Roger seating system, which facilitates the correct reading posture. Raised 13 cm off the ground, it sits on bearing blades in extruded aluminium with a polished Black Coffee-coloured varnished finish, set back from the perimeter of the bed. Roger Bed is available in a choice of five widths and two heights for the heabdoard.
