- Cushion: single seat and backrest cushion, heat-bonded fibre around a high-resilience polyurethane foam core, quilted to the cover

Story
Shell and cushion
Minotti says the armchair blends a compact outer shell, which also designs the armrests, with soft inner cushioning. The result, in its words, is a mix of immediate visual comfort that contrasts with the more dynamic shell.
A footstool on the same concept
The footstool that matches the armchair features a central lowering, which Minotti says provides greater ergonomic foot support.
