Switch things up this summer by transforming your home into a perpetual vacation retreat with Italian furniture brand Minotti. Let the charms of the Italian summer take over your living space. Think effortless elegance and the coastal charms of the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre, as you embrace the essence of la dolce vita in your humble abode.
Emmi
The Emmi armchair, designed by Hannes Peer, makes a statement with its bold personality. Picture yourself sinking into a plush armchair with a book in hand, savouring the warmth of the sun streaming through large pane windows. Inspired by the comforting designs of the 1970s armchairs, the Emmi armchair spots large, overstuffed cushions with curvaceous forms that were popular during that era. Meanwhile, its robust frame provides the necessary support, complemented by rounded-edged, rectangular-shaped legs that brings a modern touch to the overall design.
Supermoon
The Supermoon sofa by Giampiero Tagliaferri derives its name from the shape of its backrests and armrests, referencing the moon and its lunar phases. A reminder of the enchanting nights by the moonlit landscapes of Italy, the Supermoon sofa was designed as a nomadic piece. The best part of this sofa lies in its freedom as a monolithic element capable of flexible configurations, allowing the combination of multiple pieces to create a multitude of arrangements. It also features a side that acts as top, which can be used as a coffee table or a bench, further enhancing the versatility of its design.
Trio
Marcio Kogan/Studio MK27 injects a Brazilian twist into Minotti’s collection with the Trio armchair. Named for its use of three different materials—leather, fabric and wood—this solid furnishing piece showcases the refinement of Brazilian cabinet-making in the multi-sectional woodwork of its frame. The Trio armchair also comes in an outdoor version that combines teak wood with a woven wicker-effect cord frame, making it ultra-lightweight, perfect for lounging on the terrace and enjoying the breezy ambiance of an Italian summer.
Yves
Another Hannes Peer design, Yves comes in four variants: Yves, Yves Sofà, Yves Suite, and Yves Round. The first variant, Yves, is a dynamic seating system built with coves that can accommodate a small table or ottoman in between. This design led to the birth of the Yves Sofà, one that is much more versatile in nature. It can function as a chaise longue, joined together to form a sofa, or have separate open-end units to create various configurations. Unlike the Yves Sofà, the Yves Suite is more traditional in its approach as it boasts a classic, timeless design. Despite its solid structure, its cushions offer a plush softness built for maximum comfort. Its final variant, the Yves Round, features a curved sofa, a small rounded armchair, as well as lounge and dining ottomans. These pieces can stand as its own collection, or mixed and matched with other variants.
Daylight
Daylight by GamFratesi is the ideal outdoor setup for relaxed social gatherings with chilled prosecco by the terrace. This collection is an invitation for people to come together, featuring a sofa, round armchair, loveseat, and a sun lounger, which can be decorated as independent pieces or placed together to create a harmonious ensemble. The sofa offers a play of different proportions, available with two different seat depths, while its round armchairs provide an alternative depending on your choice of comfort.
