Story
A mosaic of simple shapes
Patio is an outdoor seating system with highly versatile modularity, conceived as a dynamic mosaic composed of tesserae in simple geometric shapes. The pieces can be put together as desired and rearranged to suit the available space and the mood to be created.
Mixed materials
After exploring woods such as iroko and teak, Minotti pairs Patio with an unexpected mix of aluminium, wood, stone and cord. The extruded aluminium base is matched with steel backrests covered in woven polypropylene cord in the same shade, in a Scandinavian-type geometric design.
