The rising interest in open air living has increased the focus on collections designed for outdoor spaces, conceived as an extension of the indoor living room, where the borders separating indoors and outdoors cease to exist.
Minotti has used this approach for some time now in its designs for furnishing open air spaces, such as private gardens and terraces, the outdoor areas of hospitality facilities, marinas or yachts. Spaces with an inviting, relaxing vibe, whether they are corners of urban nature, exteriors nestled in the lush green landscape or overlooking the water.
The 2020 Outdoor Collection develops these principles with targeted design proposals, which originate from different design cultures but are conceived to co-exist in a harmonious dialogue. It focuses on the independence of the individual pieces, each with its own identity and original personality, but also with the versatility required to design compositions that can furnish large spaces, and to be mixed with other elements of different styles from the 2020 Outdoor Collection.
The collection, coordinated by Rodolfo Dordoni with Minotti Studio, hosts pieces by leading international designers, such as GamFratesi, Marcio Kogan / studio mk27 and Dordoni himself. The outdoor furniture pieces are based on the main geometric shapes - square, rectangle, circle -, one of the characterising features of the 2020 Indoor Collection. The couture aspect, another leitmotiv of Minotti’s interior design projects, can be found in the sophisticated juxtaposition of the materials, in the choice of precious natural wood types, in the exquisite finishes, the textures and the tactile feel of the textile coverings.
One important furnishing accessory is the rug, again in the outdoor version, conceived as a tray which illustrates the maximum potential of the open-air living area.
