Description
Ruffle expresses a free and informal feel: a modular system designed to interpret contemporary lifestyle with originality and authenticity. Ruffle is a welcoming seating system with generous proportions, where gentle volumes and formal precision coexist in perfect balance. Its wide, one-piece seat offers exceptional, effortless comfort, while the slightly sloping trapezoidal backrest supports the body with graceful ease. Designed to interpret contemporary lifestyles with originality and authenticity, Ruffle expresses a free, informal character that invites relaxation and conviviality.
Its distinctive identity is defined by paired padded bands that wrap around the structure, following its contours to create the effect of an endless quilt. Precisely cut and stitched, the upholstery evokes a sense of wellbeing at first glance, while longitudinal stitching across the backrest and seat creates orderly vertical bands and a refined graphic language. The perimeter profile and 45° corner joints further highlight the sophisticated craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.
The back maintains the same compositional harmony, allowing Ruffle to stand freely at the centre of the room. In the offset version, the backrest extends sideways to accommodate open wood compartments with softly rounded corners and removable sculpted padded tops, as well as rectangular and square side tables. Resting on polished brushed metal feet, Ruffle combines elegant solidity with a strong horizontal presence, gracefully accompanying the rituals of contemporary living.

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.
