Story

Modernist architecture and geometric rigour

According to Minotti, the Sally armchair is inspired by the timeless aesthetics of modernist architecture and joins elegance and comfort with absolute geometric rigour.

A cradle-effect backrest

The enveloping seat is made particularly comfortable by the backrest, whose arched shape and cradle effect, Minotti says, create a special feeling of cosiness, and the page adds that the seat is enveloping.
