With and without armrests

Minotti shows the dining little armchair both with armrests and without them, and says both stand out for their elegance. The page points to details of the wooden structure that it calls decorative: a joint at the point where leg and armrest join, on the version with armrests, and a bi-convex finish on the leg tops, on the armless version.

Wood and craft

The page adds that the project brings together woodworking expertise from Nordic and Japanese design with the know-how of an Italian company.
