Construction

Seats come with a cushion or as a single piece. The backrest cushions are channelled goose down with a polyurethane insert encased in a temperature-sensitive material. Backrests and armrests lift from the base once the feet are removed, and a headrest in plywood and foam is optional. Yves Suite is a version with a concave seat structure and a steel pocket spring insert in the seat cushion.

Specifications

Yves linear sofa 248 cm: 248 cm wide, 113 cm deep and 82 cm high. On request, and at a surcharge, the standard feet give way to feet 10.5 cm high, which is 4 cm above standard.

Two types of seat

Minotti says the dynamic compositions of Yves offer two types of seat: one with a cushion, of a more traditional character, and one with a single-piece seat, which gives Yves a more contemporary look.

Compositions

The Technical Features run from the 248 cm linear sofa to wave, bend and inclined forms, and they name round ottomans of 104, 84 and 64 cm diameter. Yves Suite adds a concave seat structure with a steel pocket spring insert in the seat cushion, and an optional headrest can be fitted.
