Story
A Moroccan ottoman reinterpreted
Minotti presents the Tuffet as a contemporary take on the traditional Moroccan ottoman. The page points to its circular volume and the soft curve of its seat, and says they bring a romantic touch to the living or night area.
Piping and seams that follow the curve
The page says the fully detachable covering carries two sets of piping round the circumference, and seams with an embroidery that stay symmetrical while following the curve of the seat. The base has a glossy Pewter-coloured lacquered finish and sits on five invisible full-swivel wheels.
