Description
A sinuous geometric pattern defines the identity of the Riley seating system by Hannes Peer. With a timeless aesthetic characteristic of Minotti’s stylistic language, Riley balances architectural rigour with expressive softness, creating a dynamic and versatile design that combines restraint and ease, permanence and fluidity. From its recessed metal base, the monolithic seat volume rises with light vertical quilting that gives rhythm to the backrest and armrests.
A contrasting or tone-on-tone leather profile becomes the distinctive feature, tracing a continuous line around the square backrest and armrests and creating a teardrop-shaped 45° cut at the junction between armrest and seat. The single seat cushion is partially housed in the padded base and enhanced by a 5 cm decorative band, while two different seat depths allow for greater comfort and a dynamic interplay of volumes. Additional “relax” cushions can serve as headrests thanks to an adjustable multidirectional aluminium frame, fully enveloped in layered polyurethane. A wide range of colour finishes for the stitched profile and exquisite upholstery craftsmanship complete Riley’s exclusive, refined, and timeless elegance. ADV 2025: Riley, by Hannes Peer, inhabits a modern home with a timeless aesthetic, reflecting Minotti’s signature style. Its bold geometric lines, enriched with sartorial details, explore the boundaries of contemporary modernism in a continuous dialogue between memory and innovation.
Structure։ Made of plywood, with the seat coated in high-resilience polyurethane foam and reinforced by a steel pocket-spring core for excellent shape retention and enhanced comfort. Its concave form accommodates the seat cushion, while the armrest and backrest are padded with high-resilience, variable-density polyurethane foam, precisely contoured to adapt to the system’s distinctive haute couture upholstery. The structure is encased in breathable, heat-bonded fibre laminated to white hypoallergenic cotton fabric, while light vertical top-stitching on the backrest and leather piping outlining the backrest and armrest perimeter enhance its refined craftsmanship. The piping is available in Chalk, Cloud, Pumice, Sand, Khaki, Slate, Clay, Oil Green, Moss, Cognac, Peat, Blue Ocean, Bordeaux, Stone Grey, Ivory, Tobacco, Dove Grey, and Cacao; if no colour is specified by the client, the choice will be determined by the company.
Cushions։ The seat and backrest cushions feature high-loft channelled goose down with a high-resilience, variable-density polyurethane foam insert, providing exceptional softness and comfort. They are encased in breathable, heat-bonded fibre laminated to hypoallergenic white cotton fabric. The seat cushion is secured with a perimeter zipper, while the optional “RELAX” cushion features an adjustable multidirectional aluminium structure for enhanced head support and maximum comfort.
Covers։ Upholstery is completely removable in all versions (fabric and leather).

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.
