The Jacques collection includes sofas, armchairs and poufs of various sizes with a common creative root, translating a rather retro look into a resolutely contemporary style. A sophisticated aesthetic language that is expressed in soft shapes, reduced proportions and visually striking details, such as the metal base in Light Bronze finish. Refined tailoring emphasises the curvilinear profile of the Jacques sofa, whose rounded shapes create a striking contrast with the geometric and rigorous forms that characterise the Lawrence sofa. The refined elegance and compact proportions that characterise all the chairs in the Jacques collection allow these pieces to fit gracefully into any context – whether home or hotel – and to coordinate easily with the new seating systems.
Rodolfo Dordoni is a major figure in Italian design. After graduating in architecture from the Milan Polytechnic in 1979, he set up Dordoni Architects Studio and went on to work with major furniture brands such as Foscarini, Cappellini and Artemide, where he was artistic director, as well as Flos, Moroso, Cassina and, more recently, Coédition. He has also worked closely with Minotti since 1997. Its timeless, modern designs combine aesthetics and comfort. The lines are sober, minimalist and extremely distinctive. The roots of the collaboration between Minotti and Rodolfo Dordoni are long-standing and solid, because the same values are shared by the company and the designer. The designer's inspirations and thoughts come to life, and particular attention is paid to the details, finishes and materials that reveal the unique character of Minotti collections.
