Description

The details, shapes and overall aesthetics of Raphael make it a contemporary furnishing piece with a timeless character. The characteristic light and sophisticated style of Italian-Danish duo GamFratesi inspires Raphael, a collection that reimagines the living space through individual furnishing pieces with refined tailoring and the comfort of traditional modular seating systems. The collection includes three sofa variants, four armchairs, two dining armchairs, and two footstools, all designed for smaller domestic environments while meeting the needs of decorators and interior designers. Organic forms with generous, cosy proportions are enhanced by sophisticated upholstery that follows their distinctive sinuous lines.

 

Each piece has its own identity and silhouette. The sofas are available in linear, semi-curved, and asymmetrical semi-curved versions, while the armchairs range from larger and smaller models to dining versions. The collection stands on modern feet in die-cast Bronze or polished Pewter aluminium or Licorice-stained ash, with selected armchairs also available on a swivel four-spoke aluminium base. Combining classic forms with contemporary details, Raphael offers a timeless character suited to relaxation, conviviality, hospitality, and intimate domestic spaces.

Designer

GamFratesi

Minotti and GamFratesi began collaborating in 2018. The design of GamFratesi, architecture firm established in 2006 in Copenhagen by Italian-Danish duo Enrico Fratesi and Stine Gam, is rooted in the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and technology, rigour and poetry. With their different cultural backgrounds, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi model their creative intuitions into designs that draw from both the classic decor and artisan tradition of Denmark and the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach.

 

A tried and tested melting pot of styles, expressed in furniture, objects, and installations with a silent elegance, in the production techniques used and in the meticulous attention to detail applied to the creations. The result is a sophisticated interpretation of Scandinavian minimalism, with many subtle, yet striking Nordic hints.
