Elyne

Overview

Elyne is Minotti's armchair designed by Hannes Peer. Minotti describes a thin, gently curved line that traces an airy, uninterrupted silhouette and supports more generous volumes. The page shows it as an armchair with a coordinated footstool, and as a lounge armchair.

• Seat and backrest in metal coated in fire-resistant high-resilience polyurethane foam
• Seat suspension in elastic webbing of synthetic rubber and polypropylene
• Seat and backrest upholstery completely removable, in fabric or leather

Specifications

• Armchair: W 102 x D 92 x H 65 cm
• Lounge armchair: 90 x 83 cm (page caption 90 cm)

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.
