Fynn Bench

Overview

The Fynn benches are, in Minotti's words, part of the family of seats completed by a footstool and benches of different sizes. The page lists three captions, 95 x 80 cm, 155 x 80 cm (both 38.5 cm high) and a Saddle-Hide bench of 66 x 50 cm (36.5 cm high); a 146 x 50 cm Saddle-Hide bench follows on the same page. Every bench has a cushion except the Saddle-Hide ones.

Benches that complete the Fynn seats

Minotti lists benches of different sizes, together with a footstool, as the pieces that complete the Fynn family of seats. The designers credited on the page are GamFratesi.

Cushion or saddle-hide top

All of the benches carry a cushion except those in the Saddle-Hide version. The page describes these as having a structure with a slightly concave top, combined with a saddle-hide covering that envelops it like exquisite leather. The sheet gives the Saddle-Hide seat as plywood upholstered in saddle-hide, in fifteen colours, on an ash structure.
