Description

The Dylan modular seating system combines rigorous forms with a versatile ability to accommodate, offering refined and articulated volumes in three variants designed for different styles and ways of experiencing domestic and Hospitality spaces. Dylan features a suspended base raised 13.5 cm from the floor by thin extruded aluminium blades in Bronze or Pewter, creating an airy and contemporary aesthetic. Dylan Small maintains the same refined character with a more compact depth, while Dylan Low sits only 7.5 cm from the ground, expressing a more classic and traditional personality. The common thread across all three versions is the seat and backrest cushions, enhanced by soft, couture-inspired stitching that gives the system a timeless yet contemporary character. Soft curves in the backrest and armrests create an enveloping sense of comfort, while sophisticated upholstery techniques combine leather or fabric strips, webbing, and precise stitching to enhance the suspended base. Every detail reflects Minotti’s balance between couture craftsmanship, rational architecture, and the contemporary interpretation of living spaces.

 

Structure: The seat is made of metal-reinforced plywood, padded with high-resilience, variable-density polyurethane foam and high-rubber-content elastic webbing for enhanced comfort. The armrest and backrest structures are also padded with high-resilience polyurethane foam and encased in breathable, hypoallergenic quilted polyester fibre laminated to white cotton fabric, made with recycled materials. The upholstery is finished with refined piping and couture-inspired soft top-stitching, while additional quilting enhances softness and comfort. The structural base is covered in fabric or leather strips, tailored with the same techniques as the Connery seating system and joined with laces featuring fine hand-finished stitching.

 

Table-top surfaces: The seating system includes the option of a top laminated MDF and aluminium, for some elements, 18 mm thick, in ash veneer with open pore Moka colour lacquer finish or open-pore Tobacco colour stain, available in various sizes and configurations.

 

Cushions: Seat and backrest cushions, padded in high-loft channelled goose down to lend greater softness and increase comfort, undergo routine sanitization as specified in EC Regulation No. 1069/2009 (Assopiuma certified, Gold Label). They are then encased in breathable heat-bonded fibre laminated to white hypoallergenic cotton fabric. Seat cushions with high resilience, variable-density polyurethane foam insert are covered in the upper part with temperaturesensitive polyurethane material. Backrest cushions with core insert in high-resilience, variable-density polyurethane foam in material that is also temperature-sensitive and contoured to adapt perfectly to the sophisticated, functional shape of the upholstered backrest.

 

Covers: Upholstery for the structure, seat and backrest cushions is completely removable in all versions (fabric and leather).

 

HEADREST: Made of plywood coated in high-resilience polyurethane foam, then sheathed in breathable, heat-bonded fiber laminated to white cotton canvas. To improve adherence of the element to the seat, a counterweight is inserted inside the fabric strip where it meets the seat cushion. Headrest upholstery can be chosen from among the fabric or leather in the sample books; if not specified at the time the order is placed, it will be matched to the sofa upholstery. Non-slip fabric on the bottom. Cover completely removable.

 

Bases: Weight-bearing, in extruded aluminium with varnished polished anti-fingerprint Bronze or Pewter colour finish. Bronze or black colour protective polyethylene glides to match the base finish.
