Description

Laurel armchair and dining little armchair by Giampiero Tagliaferri draw inspiration from Mid-Century forms, combining timeless elegance with sophisticated craftsmanship. The shell, available in wood or leather upholstery, embraces the tailored seat and back cushions while extending upwards to support the soft armrests. A distinctive fabric or leather band, secured by precious metal studs, enriches the back of the armchair and dining version. The swivel armchair and footstool feature a folded metal spoke base, while the dining version is available with slender metal legs in the fixed configuration or metal and wooden legs in the swivel version. The leather version showcases refined leather-goods craftsmanship, with precisely joined sections, vertical seams, couture-inspired details, and a hand-finished full-grain leather band that enhances the sinuous profile and ensures seamless continuity between surfaces and volumes.

 

Structure: The seat shell is available in Santos palisander, Light Brown-stained Canaletto walnut, Licorice open-pore brushed ash, or beech upholstered in Nature Leather. The curved plywood shell is CNC-finished, with a padded backrest featuring a metal insert and a variable-density polyurethane foam seat, both encased in breathable, hypoallergenic fibre laminated to white cotton fabric. The armrests are made of bent aluminium with integral skin polyurethane foam and soft quilted fibre covering. A padded rear band, crafted with the same technique used for the Connery seating system, enhances comfort and is matched to the specified upholstery. The design is completed by a decorative metal screw matching the base finish, while soft top-stitching adds a refined tailoring detail.

 

Covers: Upholstery for armrests, seat and backrest cushions is completely removable in both the fabric and leather versions. Unscrew the armrests from the structure to remove the upholstery. The upholstery on the leather-clad shell is not removable.

Legs DINING LITTLE ARMCHAIR: In tubular metal with variable circular section, varnished Black Coffee colour with glossy anti-fingerprint finish or Black chrome finish. Black protective felt and/or polyethylene glides.

Designer

Giampiero Tagliaferri

The collaboration between Minotti and Giampiero Tagliaferri, architectural and interior designer with studios in Los Angeles and Milan, kicks off in 2024.  The designer’s aesthetic approach is inspired by his bond with the two cities, reflecting the intersection of 20th century Italian design and Southern California modernism.

 

In this way, the delicate Milanese balance of ornament and essence, splendour and discretion blends harmoniously with Californian simplicity, understated elegance and the sensual interplay of light, colour and landscape, resulting in a distinctive and evocative design language in harmony with the brand’s style and taste.
