Renewed creativity: Minotti’s latest design collaborations

At Salone del Mobile.Milano 2024, Minotti debuted the designs resulting from new collaborations with Hannes Peer and Giampiero Tagliaferri, who officially joined the brand’s international creative team this year. The introduction of their first contributions to the Minotti 2024 Collection, in synergy with the Minotti family, explores how harmonious collaborations can invigorate timeless values.

Hannes Peer, architect and interior designer from South Tyrol, and virtuoso on the AD100 and Elle Decor A-List, is known for his eclectic and multifaceted style, developed at the Milan Politecnico and the Technical University in Berlin, followed by stints at OMA/Rem Koolhaas, with Zvi Hecker in Berlin, at Studio Mosca, and Metrogramma in Milan, before establishing his own studio in 2009.

These experiences and the successful encounter with Minotti translate to dynamic pieces within the brand new 2024 Collection, each holding its own identity, yet sharing a subtle, striking presence. In particular, the Yves modular seating system is characterised by its mix of rigorous volumes and organic shapes, enhanced by asymmetrical couture-inspired stitching, available in multiple versions to adapt to a range of tastes and experiences within residential and hospitality contexts.

On the other hand, there is Giampiero Tagliaferri, an architectural and interior designer based between Milan and Los Angeles, and formerly creative director for a luxury eyewear brand. His emotionally-charged design language is informed by the synthesis of 20th century Italian design and Southern California modernism, defined by deep research and strong narratives.

In collaboration with Minotti, this vocabulary finds its perfect expression in the Supermoon modular seating system, with its distinctively shaped backrests and armrests evocative of a lunar phase, conceived as single elements, yet carefully evolved to offer flexible configurations. As well as within other designs signed for the brand, in which Tagliaferri has infused a fresh perspective and sensual elegance, only enriching the consistency of high quality, know-how and expertise that Minotti always delivers.
