Description
The Curtis bed owes its original identity to the precious quilting. The exclusive pattern, a circle crossed by a vertical line, has been designed by Minotti Studio to characterize the walls of the settings of the 2018 collection.
The workmanship conveys an effect of great softness to the fabrics and the leathers used for the upholstery. The pattern, simplified and reduced to the sole vertical line, is also the protagonist of the finishing of the sommier raised from the ground.
Curtis is characterized by a tall and thin headboard, with an exposed zipper along the sides, and is available in one length only, with a choice of five widths.
Interpreted with a crepuscular light, in a rarefied atmosphere, it suggests the encounter between the past of the Déco tradition, thanks to the rich quilting, and the present of interior decoration, with its sophisticated graphics.
Curtis can be coordinated with a bedspread and a plaid with an interesting combination of colours, materials and textures. Thus contributing to the overall scenography of the bed, which is elegantly dressed and becomes the protagonist of the sleeping area. The reversible Curtis bedspread is made entirely by hand. One side is covered in white Paco fabric and the other in Mink-coloured Kabuki fabric. The Lawrence plaid, made of 100% cashmere wool, is available in two versions: Titanium with a border in natural-shaded Nabuk leather or Platinum with a border in iron-coloured Nabuk leather.

Rodolfo Dordoni
The strategic collaboration between Minotti and Rodolfo Dordoni, architect and designer from Milan, began back in 1997.
Rationalist architect and professional with a multi-faceted personality, Rodolfo Dordoni met Renato and Roberto Minotti towards the end of the nineties. The Minotti brothers immediately considered Rodolfo Dordoni’s cultural background, professional experience and sensitivity as an interior decorator the ideal basis for forging a strong relationship. The challenge that faced them was to create a new vision of the company.
So, in 1997, Rodolfo Dordoni presented his first collection of seats, tables and coffee tables, including Suitcase, the iconic cubic armchair freely inspired by the world of fashion and luggage-making. A successful design, rigorous and non-conventional, which marked the beginning of a consolidated relationship that has spanned more than twenty years and shows no signs of slowing down.
The next year, in 1998, he was nominated Art Director and coordinator of all the company’s collections. This marked a turning point that launched him on a pathway of continuous research, guided by the values of coherence, determination, passion and enthusiasm. Over the years, it led to the definition of a full range for the home, designed for both indoor and outdoor environments and for Hospitality spaces, fully interpreting the concept of “collection” and “lifestyle”.
Year after year, collection after collection, this collaboration has played a part in reinforcing the brand identity and in giving the collections a feel of exclusivity, carrying a strong message of quality and fine Italian craftsmanship all round the world, by innovating and creating continuity.
The collaboration has also extended to designing the stands for the various editions of the Salone del Mobile in Milan and Shanghai and the fair in Cologne, as well as the creation of spaces such as the Minotti New York flagship store, opened in 2010, and the company showroom installed in the headquarters in Meda in 2012.
His many iconic indoor and outdoor furniture designs created since he began working with the company over 20 years ago have recently been joined by some new additions - the Connery and Blazer indoor and the Sunray outdoor seating systems - all characterised by pure volumes, sharp geometries and a haute couture approach to sartorial craftsmanship - along with a myriad of furnishing solutions, small furniture and accessories.
