Description
The evolution of the dining table designed by the Brazilian architect in 2020, the Linha Studio desk is available in five sizes, from the suite or home office desk to larger sizes for the office.
The sculptural frame draws a large bridged area with the top lying flush to the sides, and two drawers underneath, positioned on the left.
Linha, which means line in Portuguese, responds to the challenge of designing a desk with a slender frame, a top only 16 mm thick and from 180 to 250 cm long. Visually speaking, it is extremely light and airy, the ultimate expression of the minimalism that pervades the designs of Marcio Kogan / studio mk27, which have always focused on finding proportions that convey a certain elegance.
The entire frame is characterized by sides with a Golden Brown finish, while the top and front of the drawers are in Dark Brown stained palisander Santos, with a matt polyester lacquered finish, wood with an interesting texture that adds volumes of personality to the design. A cable hole compartment is located on the table top, which can house a storage tray in Golden Brown varnished metal, with internal partitions and a background in Dark Brown saddle-hide positioned near the drawers.
Designer
Marcio Kogan
The partnership between Minotti and Marcio Kogan, Brazilian architect, began in 2017.
Marcio Kogan approached the world of architecture and opened the mk27 studio in São Paolo at the end of the seventies: it has a cosmopolitan team, today consisting of more than thirty architects, all great admirers of Brazilian modernism.
Volcanic and rigorous, attentive to the pure volumes and simple shapes of his designs, as well as the details and finishes, Marcio Kogan favours open, squared architectures - which aesthetically and stylistically merge in and out - characterized by floor-to-ceiling windows that erase the boundary with the outdoors.
With a design style inspired by nature, the warm, light-coloured woods of his homeland, and the clean lines of his architectural works, in 2018, he designed the Quadrado seating system for Minotti. A modular line featuring minimal volumes and materials, and characterised by the light, almost floating design of the bases. A well-structured series of products conceived to furnish both small and large open-air spaces, to be enjoyed in full relaxation mode.
The project was naturally extended in 2019 with the addition of the double daybed, armchair and dining table. Solutions with a strong visual impact, where the Brazilian architect’s distinctive design style comes to the fore.
For the 2020 Collection, Marcio Kogan further strengthened his creative partnership with Minotti by proposing, for the first time, three indoor designs: the Daiki armchairs (available also in the outdoor version together with the dining little armchairs), the Boteco family of sideboards and the Linha tables and coffee tables. The designs incorporate evidence of his trademark minimal style, defined by rigorous lines and shapes, which at the same time express a sophisticated choice of finishes and fine materials.
