The Minotti 2020 Collection is now in store.
ECC is excited to reveal the 2020 collection from Minotti recently arrived and on display in the custom built Minotti Studio at the ECC Auckland showroom. The new collection exhibits all the Minotti hallmarks of contemporary international style with strong Italian roots. Minotti’s collaboration with designers with strong cultural identities continues in 2020, reflecting Minotti’s desire to look to the future and the world as a source of different aesthetic tastes and cultures. Nendo, Kogan, GamFratesi and Delcourt join Rodolfo Dordoni in a coordinated collection in which the pieces are interchangeable through the continuous dialogue between the geometric volumes and shapes. Three new sofa collections have arrived accompanied by distinct armchairs, coffee and side tables and a dining table setting. Contemporary, with a strong architectural appeal and pure lines reminiscent of the mid-century American spirit, the Connery seating system sports an exquisite aesthetic and design that instantly catch the eye. The clever combination of fine materials and sophisticated details adds a hint of couture to its design.
Airy, with constructive details linked to Japanese tradition, the Torii modular seats and coffee tables play with round edged volumes, thin profiles and the apparent formal simplicity of an extremely detailed design. The metal structure of the legs of the seats and tables is Nendo’s nod to the image of the “Torii”, the entrance gate to shinto shrines in Japan.
Blazer is one of the creations that best expresses the most authentic artisanal attitude of Minotti, using a haute couture approach exemplified by its precise, meticulous sartorial craftsmanship. All the surfaces of the elements feature stitching, designing evenly spaced bands on the covering of the base, cushions, armrests and backrest, creating a quilting.
Scandinavian values meet Italian tradition in Fynn, a series of armchairs created by combining fine cabinet making in the wooden elements and sophisticated upholstering with fabric or saddle-hide. The signature element of the Fynn seats is the wooden armrest, elongated and slightly curved, rounded and smooth to the touch, 100% handmade.
Inspired by the Brazilian architect’s many trips to Japan, the Daiki seats are born out of Marcio Kogan’s deep passion for Japanese culture and are conceived as a real tribute to Japanese design. The Daiki family includes armchairs with a deep seat, created using sophisticated wood crafting techniques. Daiki offers a design that also explores and reinterprets the American Mid-Century atmospheres in its bold, clean lines, precious materials and balanced proportions.
Linha is Kogan’s response to the challenge of designing a dining table with a large span, a structure only 16 mm thick and a top that can reach up to 4 metres in length. Visually, it appears extremely lightweight and airy, despite the strong impact of the materials used, in which marble boldly takes centre stage.
The Thorburn family look forward to welcoming you into the showroom to view the 2020 Minotti collection.
