The armrest

The signature of the Fynn seats, Minotti says, is the armrest: elongated, slightly curved, rounded and smooth to the touch, and 100% handmade. The page says its line identifies the whole family of seats in both versions.

Scandinavian and Italian

Minotti describes Fynn as a project where Scandinavian values meet Italian tradition, combining fine cabinet-making in the wooden elements with upholstery in fabric or saddle-hide. The armchair and the little armchairs have an ultra-lightweight aesthetic, with the seat and backrest cushion designed as a single element that the page says almost cradles the body.
