Standard and Roller forms
The standard version uses polished Black-Nickel metal feet. Case Roller replaces them with pivoting wheels covered in soft scratch-resistant rubber. Minotti lists nine saddle-hide colours for the outer shell.
Story
From Case to Case Roller
Minotti describes Case through simple lines and conservative proportions, pairing its saddle-hide outer structure with fabrics from the brand's textile collection. Rodolfo Dordoni extended the concept into Case Roller, which adds pivoting wheels to the same seating idea. The page belongs to the 2010 Collection edition rather than documenting a design year. Nine saddle-hide colours are listed for the outer structure.
