Minotti sofas, synonymous with timeless style and sophistication
Sofas are the passepartout of living: a soft touch that warms the interior and invites relaxation. There are three key words for choosing the right model for your home: comfort, size and materiality.
Comfort is a fundamental requirement and, in modern sofas, is expressed through increasingly high-performance materials and ergonomic, sinuous shapes that welcome the body in a velvety embrace.
The dimensions can be multiple. They range from the extra-large, with the large linear or corner seats, to be placed perhaps in the center of the room, to the small size, with the two-seater sofa, such as those inspired by 1960s design, inviting one-on-one and close quarters.
Texturality is expressed through fabrics, which are increasingly pleasant to touch, offered in seductive and vibrant nuances designed for lovers of color. The most popular shades range from blue to gray, if we are talking about cool shades, and from red to beige for those who prefer to embellish living rooms with warm tones. There are companies like
Minotti
, a Made in Italy excellence founded in 1948 in Meda by Alberto Minotti, which in producing sofas encompasses innovation, craftsmanship savoir-faire to meticulous sartorial attention to detail. The company, now in its third generation and now launched into international markets inextricably blends tradition with cutting-edge know-how: the knowledge of artisans refines a product born of the latest technology, while the intelligence of hands offers sensitivity and emotion to industrial precision. So here Minotti sofas are linked to values of aesthetic sobriety, timeless elegance and continuity in tradition and, precisely for this reason, are capable of giving sophistication and identity to the environment they go to furnish.
Albert&Ile, a sofa that celebrates family history
Retro flavor and family DNA. They drew from the Minotti Archives for the designs of Albert&Ile, a family of chairs with a vintage flavor conceived as a tribute to Alberto, the company’s founder who died in 1991, and to Ileana, his wife, currently the company’s Honorary President. Albert retains the 20th-century-inspired armrests and classic lines interpreted by the 1950s aesthetic. A decorative front element runs along its entire length until it draws the armrest: made of solid wood, it is covered and later attached to the frame with nails.
Instead, Ile is close to the aesthetic of the 1960s. It is characterized by the hollow shape in the backrest and the design derived from classical armchairs, interpreted in accordance with the trend toward polyhedral forms of the period. To enhance lines and shapes coatings that have a sartorial flavor: mohair wool velvet, in vibrant colors with iridescent reflections from Mink to Cobalt, Ocean Blue to Titanium.
Aston, the retro-flavored sofa symbol of sartorial mastery
For the Aston sofa, Rodolfo Dordoni, an architect with whom Minotti has long collaborated, Recover the memory of the bourgeois drawing room. It is a two/three-seater model with a pleasant and contained size, perfect for recreating a conversation area in which to receive guests. Today, the way of living in the home has certainly evolved, but the taste for the recovery of tradition and the measured elegance expressed by some furnishings of the past are back in vogue. Featuring a wraparound backrest that blends into the curved line of the armrest, it rises from the ground thanks to Pewter-colored die-cast aluminum feet that accentuate its retro design. Also part of the same series are the armchair, dormeuse and ottomans: seats with light volumes and graceful profiles united by meticulously tailored packaging. Aston is also available in the “Cord” version, dedicated to outdoor spaces, an example of how Minotti knows how to create a dialectical relationship between indoor and outdoor while maintaining the same design root and stylistic consistency both inside and outside the home.
Jacques, the sofa with enveloping lines and refined aesthetics
A design sofa with rounded and enveloping shapes. It is Jacques designed by Rodolfo Dordoni. The idea behind the project is to translate a retro taste into a sign of contemporary style through details with a strong visual impact. The soft shape of the sofa, emphasized by the sartorial care with which the company, thanks to know-how gained over the years and well-established craftsmanship, makes the upholstery in fabric or leather, is not taken for granted. Neither perfect nor too busy, the silhouette of the modern two-seater sofa finds balance in the study of curves that rest gently on a distinctive Bronze-finished metal base that continues at the ends. A detail that lends a sophisticated decorative appeal and further accentuates that sense of recollection that characterizes the sofa and invites those who sit on it to dialogue. A refined aesthetic language expressed in soft shapes, restrained proportions and details with a strong visual impact.
Elegance, relaxation and conviviality, the watchwords of the Seymour Lounge sofa
The Seymour Lounge sofa was designed by architect Rodolfo Dordoni to furnish hospitality areas, enriching them with style and elegance and promoting relaxation and conviviality. This model interprets the welcoming, soft and sensual forms characteristic of femininity, while maintaining a marked formal rigor. The Seymour sofa is a one-piece seating system outlined by curved lines that satisfy the impulses of freedom and originality. Minotti enhances the seats with light stitching, which allows the creation of original and asymmetrical compositions with a fresh and informal character. This sofa can interpret both a classic and a more contemporary style of the hospitality area, always maintaining its natural propensity for sociability and sharing.
