Minotti, Made in Italy classic-modern

Minotti, the best of Made in Italy in the classic-modern lifestyle sector

 

Minotti is a company that symbolizes Italian excellence in the field of both indoor and outdoor furniture. It is a classic and successful representation of what is counted as the best of “Made in Italy.”

The merit stems from the vision of Alberto Minotti, who in 1948 began this extraordinary journey that nimbly winds its way between an artisanal and an industrial dimension of creation, managing to capture the best from both. His sons, Renato and Roberto, formed an indissoluble pact with architect Rodolfo Dordoni and succeeded in imposing the family firm on international markets.Minotti thus became the best that Italian excellence could offer in the modern lifestyle sector. It is more than recognition; it is the very essence of the Company.

And the journey of excellence continues with the third generation of the family, which has taken up the challenge of innovation in the third millennium, also opening up to new collaborations with professionals around the world, creating the
Minotti Code
: a true DNA of the Company based on a sober but unforgettable aesthetic, a timeless elegance that does not renounce tradition, a craftsmanship that never separates itself from the maniacal and sartorial obsession with the care of every detail.

The Angie armchair and Connery sofa are, in this sense, the most successful representation of the Minotti universe.

Angie is in fact the product of a collaboration with the Italian-Canadian studio GamFratesi, and it was in 2019 that it won the deli Achiproducts Design Awards in the Furniture category. Its curvy, leathery shapes, tailored workmanship and attention to detail make it an iconic item.

Connery, a seating system designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, is one of the new additions to Minotti’s 2020 collection, and in the architectural contamination that distinguishes it, the company’s ethical, aesthetic and artistic manifesto and a new way of thinking about domestic living are revealed: it is code to be read in all its interpretations.

 

Angie, the leather armchair with cozy softness

Looking at Angie, the eye is immediately caught by the leather or leather elements that draw a wing that envelops the armchair as if in an embrace, creating an almost sculptural support that accompanies toward the softness of the seat and back.

Angie is developed in the logic of opposites where the rigid leather structure is contrasted by the softness and sinuosity of the upholstered part; it is a logic of opposites that is also revealed in the plays of colors that are possible thanks to the alternation of these two different scenarios: the shell and the fabric chase each other, chase each other, and embrace each other in color combinations all to be chosen and experienced. It sits on the ground thanks to the supports made of die-cast aluminum equipped with an arched structure that connects with the rear feet going to emphasize the shapes of the body.

Angie is a journey that in a seemingly simple design hides a series of technological processes and insights that make it what it is: the differentiated foam upholstery and the leather and leather frame are made from Baydur® molds that fit well with the chair’s curved forms.  

Leather that recalls palettes of varied colors, the double structure, the use of technological processes, classic forms that face the contemporary with new personality, and international collaborations: the style of Minotti in an unmistakable armchair.

 

Connery, when architecture becomes a sofa

In a name is told a story, a spirit of the times, a raison d’être. Connery ‘s name evokes contemporary sets and atmospheres while its architecturally precise lines immediately run to the American Mid-Century.

Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, this sofa has an aesthetic-formal quality that is immediately noticeable: it is a statement of the project’s intent expressed through the skillful play of materials and refined workmanship.

Versatility is the hallmark of Connery’s personality, which manifests itself in the many possibilities of composition and choice of materials. But not only that. Its personality is also in the geometry where it is allowed to combine and alternate between square or round chaise-longues.

The seat can be 83 or 86 cm long and is designed as a single, enveloping cushion chased by light, almost imperceptible stitching; the backrest and armrest travel together forming a single volume.

The structural base is striking and intriguing with its reference to the universe of trunks and suitcases thanks to upholstery worked with high-end leather goods techniques. Warm, sweet colors that give off hints of brandy and whiskey make Connery a must-have luxury.

A luxury that feels like yesteryear but firmly immersed in the contemporary.
