Description
Overview
According to the official page, the Russell family by Rodolfo Dordoni for Minotti recalls the composed style of the Fifties. It runs from the armchair to lounge and dining armchairs, the bergère, the soft sofa and the ottoman. This entry covers the angled sofa, titled "Divano curvo" on the technical sheet, covered in fabric or leather.

Construction
Flame-resistant polyurethane foam coats the metal structure, which is wrapped in heat-bonded fibre over hypoallergenic white cotton. The seat cushions use goose down, channelled and Assopiuma Gold Label certified, around a variable-density polyurethane core. A metal frame in polished anti-fingerprint Bronze varnish stands on solid oak legs in open-pore Moka lacquer. In both the fabric and leather versions, cushion covers and structure covers lift off completely.
Specifications
Angled sofa: 222 cm wide, 121 cm deep and 71 cm high, read from the technical sheet drawing.
Story
The Fifties, updated
Minotti's page says the Russell family recalls the composed style of the Fifties. Vintage lines are taken up and modernised in a sophisticated silhouette that shapes both the seat cushions and the outer covering, offered in fabric or leather.

A surprising pairing
The page singles out a fixed cross structure in Bronze-coloured metal with feet sheathed in Moka-shaded oak as a surprising detail, one that shows Minotti's flair for combining materials. Revolving versions of the armchair, bergère and the lounge and dining chairs stand on a base of wooden spokes. A line in the page's focus section adds that compact proportions let Russell fit residential and hospitality contexts.
