Owens

Wood-base little armchair

Owens is presented by Minotti as a little armchair with a wood base. The official drawing prints 54, 55 and 82 cm without axis labels. Minotti frames it as balancing contemporary design, traditional references and a futuristic direction.

Padded metal seat

Rubber-rich elastic straps support the metal seat within fire-resistant polyurethane foam. The solid-ash base has an open-pore Moka lacquer and protective Hytrel glides. The page notes that backrest stitching can change with the selected textile.

Tradition and a forward direction

Minotti describes Owens as balancing contemporary design with a memory of tradition while looking toward a more futuristic direction. Rodolfo Dordoni resolves that theme in a wood-base little armchair. The manufacturer's page places Owens in its 2013 Collection edition; it does not identify that label as the design year. Minotti offers the chair with an ash base in Moka finish.
