Story
Structural lightness and enveloping comfort
The page begins with the balance Minotti wants from the family: structural lightness on one side, enveloping comfort on the other. One curved line draws the silhouette and holds up the larger upholstered volumes, which Minotti calls a dialogue between precision and softness.
Armrests and footstool
On the armchair and lounge armchair the backrest support widens towards the armrests and tapers gradually. The armrests continue the upholstery and flow downward, shaped by a small gathered detail. The footstool is described as a natural prolongation of the seat that repeats its structure and finishes.
