Description
The Carson family welcomes the “buffet” version of the bookcase, characteristically inspired by a simple, contemporary look with clean lines that mark out the frame and central volume. The striking effect created by combining different thicknesses makes a comeback, with thinner ones for the sides in satin finish aluminium, painted Malt colour, and thicker ones for the bottom shelf and the highest top in Moka-coloured ash.
The central “buffet” volume looks suspended and features a top in Stone Grey marble. The top presents an elegant faceting that joins up with the same distinctive faceted detail on the edge along the length of the long doors, created with a painted finish in the shades of Warm Grey or Moka, or in Moka-coloured ash.
Inside, it conceals a free compartment for storing dishes and glasses and an equipped area with a sliding tray on runners to make the objects inside easier to pick up. A drawer reveals the sophisticated cutlery holder in saddle hide.
The interesting contrast between full and empty volumes in Carson Dine is complemented by the unique textures and colours of the materials, in a succession of alternate painted, metallic and wooden surfaces.

Rodolfo Dordoni
Minotti’s collaboration with Milanese architect and designer Rodolfo Dordoni began in 1997 and continued until his passing in 2023. Over more than two decades, their partnership played a key role in shaping the company’s design identity.
Dordoni presented his first Minotti collection in 1997, including the iconic Suitcase armchair, marking the beginning of a long and successful collaboration. In 1998, he became Art Director, overseeing the development and coordination of the company’s collections. Under his direction, Minotti evolved into a complete lifestyle brand, developing collections for residential, outdoor, and Hospitality spaces. His vision helped establish a distinctive language of Italian craftsmanship, quality, and timeless contemporary design.
