Minotti
Armchair Brasilia
Brasilia, designed by Marcio Kogan / studio mk27, has an ultra-precise, contemporary, minimal style, rooted in Brazilian modernism. Minotti has successfully incorporated Kogan’s stylistic trademarks into the 2021 Collection, blending their charm with that of the overall design concept. A family of furniture with a highly innovative profile that reinterprets shapes from the past, transforming their apparent simplicity into a form of real beauty that conceals an intricately complex design concept: by juxtaposing different materials with strong powers of expression, it offers a new take on the distinctive style that identifies the Minotti brand. A design that looks to the future, made to stand the test of time and become a new classic.
The family hosts a range of seats for different environments, from the living to the night area, including sofas, elements with one armrest, an armchair and ottoman, and a varied selection for the bedroom. It is characterised by a Mid-Century aesthetic revisited and modernised not only in its lines and volumes, but also in its use of materials, in particular Dark Brown stained palisander Santos, and in its elegant structural details.
In this proposal, the distinctive characteristics of the Minotti brand are clearly visible: it does not focus so much on the design in terms of its shape, but rather on the project’s cultural elements, offering a new take on classic lines, volumes and proportions, and showcasing original new uses of materials.
The seats, conceived for the home environment, can also play an original role in hospitality settings, given the wide variety of elements, coverings and configurations to choose from.
The strong architectural feel conveyed by the volumes and proportions of Brasilia points to the world of Marcio Kogan, his interiors and architectures, paying tribute to the period of great cultural ferment that swept through Brazil in the 1950s, in which Oscar Niemeyer and Lùcio Costa were prominent figures.
The seating elements are enclosed in a square frame in Dark Brown stained palisander Santos, sourced from responsibly managed forests, accommodating a system of even, comfortable padding, offering a comfy, cushioned seat.
With their airy look, they rest on metal feet with a polished Brandy finish, a prime example of the continuous and constant interaction of materials exploited by Kogan - wood, metal, fabric, and leather - to evoke warmth and comfort.
The Brasilia range comprises two sizes of sofa (196 and 273 cm in length), elements with one armrest in various lengths with and without a top - made of slender staves in Dark Brown stained Canaletto walnut or one piece in Dark Brown stained palisander Santos -, an armchair and a small ottoman.
Structure In plywood. The structure is made of high resilience, variable-density polyurethane foam covered with an additional layer of Memory Foam. Metal seat with suspension ensured by high-rubber-content elastic webbing. Armrests and backrests encased in a thick quilted fibre laminated to white hypoallergenic cotton fabric for added softness and comfort. The upholstered part is surrounded by a plywood structure, with palisander Santos* veneer, stained Dark Brown and matt polyester lacquer finish. Some pieces are crafted with part of the structure in solid Canaletto walnut slats, stained Dark Brown with matt polyester lacquer finish.
Cushions Backrest and seat cushion upholstery are in channelled goose down and undergo routine sanitization as specified in EC Regulation No. 1069/2009 (Assopiuma Gold Label certified) with insert in high-resilience, variabledensity polyurethane foam covered with an additional layer of Memory Foam.
Covers Seat and backrest cushion upholstery is completely removable in all versions (fabric and leather).
Legs Made of 25 mm Ø satin-finish solid metal rods, varnished polished Brandy colour, with varnished polished Brandy colour metal tip. Adjustable black protective polyethylene glides. To facilitate removal of the upholstery, backrests and armrests can be easily removed by releasing the levers located underneath the piece.
N.B. Over time, due to variations in temperatures and humidity, the alignment of and space between the slats could change slightly. * Palisander Santos comes from properly managed forests.
