Description
An open, evolving project that establishes itself as a focal presence at the centre of the room. Softcase was conceived as an architectural system designed to define the living space, rather than simply furnish it. Its precise construction, variety of configurations, and extensive customization options allow for ever-changing arrangements tailored to both the environment and the people who live in it. An open, evolving project, Softcase establishes itself as a focal presence at the centre of the room.
The concept is defined by its shaped shell outlining the back, marked by a central vertical seam and generous, harmonious proportions. Upholstered in leather or fabric with double perimeter stitching, it creates a compact volume that naturally accommodates the backrest. Internally, soft cushion-like backrests are anchored to the seat and enhanced by an original horizontal graphic detail in soft silicone, adding a tactile element and reinforcing the sense of comfort. The armrests are seamlessly integrated, while the trapezoidal side profile gives the design rhythm and coherence.
Softcase reimagines the square-lined sofa through a clear, formal language rooted in Minotti’s design heritage, while introducing a more pronounced sense of softness and plushness. One-piece seats offer versatile compositions for both traditional and unconventional spaces, combining formal rigour with exceptional comfort. A slim frame in polished or brushed extruded aluminium traces the perimeter of the upholstery, completing a design that blends modernism, proportion, and timeless balance.

Designer
Hannes Peer
Minotti’s collaboration with Hannes Peer, internationally recognised architect and designer from South Tyrol, makes its debut in 2024. Inspired by an approach that weave together past and present, traditional and modern elements, Hannes Peer shares the brand’s desire to shape designs that harmoniously merge aesthetics and functionality, reflecting a timeless quality that transcends the fleeting nature of trends. Constantly driven by his passion for experimenting with materials, textures and colours, Hannes Peer strives to balance architecture, interior design and product design in every project, allowing each element to find its own raison d’être.
His is an eclectic and multifaceted design language that overlaps different styles working on all scales and, when joining Minotti’s vision, it finds its perfect expression in the Yves modular seating system: a project with a dual soul that reveals itself in a combination of rigorous volumes and organic shapes, rich in unexpected and dynamic couture details.
