Two bases for one seat

Minotti lists the dining little armchair in a fixed version and a swivel version, and the sheet draws both with the same values. The fixed chair stands on ash legs that the sheet says are crafted on CNC machines, while the swivel chair makes a 360-degree turn and then returns.

Zippers under the seat

The sheet places two zip fasteners beneath the seat, at the spot where the ends of the belt join, so the cover can be lifted away.
