Description
Overview
The Aston armchair (Rodolfo Dordoni, 2014 Collection) comes with or without armrests; an ottoman is listed alongside. Minotti says soft padding in both seat cushion and seat back gives it a welcoming feel, and that the feet in Pewter-coloured cast aluminium accent the design concept.

Story
A smaller scale
Minotti's text for the armchair repeats the theme of the family: a retro-minded design on a more conservative scale, with careful construction. What the page adds for this piece is the seat and back padding that it says extends a comfortable welcome.
Two versions and an ottoman
The page's Technical Features name three elements: the armchair, the armchair without armrests and the ottoman. On the technical sheet the ottoman appears as a footstool (poggiapiedi).
