Delaunay

Overview

Delaunay is described by Minotti as a very elegant, compact, ultra-comfortable armchair with a host of sophisticated construction details and finishing. Its seat and backrest are carried by saddle-hide straps, and Minotti makes the covers entirely removable whether they are fabric or leather.

Designed in 1998

Minotti's page for the Delaunay Quilt version speaks of "the successful product designed by Rodolfo Dordoni in 1998" and of forms that have lasted over the years. That sentence is about the original Delaunay armchair, which is the one on this page; the Delaunay page itself carries the label 1998 Collection.

Straps and covers

The page gives the straps prominence: saddle-hide straps for the seat and backrest, offered in Black, Brown and Natural on the page and in Natural, Dark Brown and Black on the technical sheet. Covers in either material are described as removable in full.
