An armchair of the 1970s, reinterpreted

Minotti describes Emmi as a design rich in signature flair that pays homage to the generous and comfortable armchairs of the 1970s. In its account, the nest-like cushioning formed where two cushions meet falls onto the frame and enhances it.

Legs as a detail

The rectangular legs with rounded edges are a visible part of the design: they stay in full view in front of the cushioning, and come in wood, glossy lacquer or leather.
