- Cortina Armchair Outdoor
Description
The Cortina armchair, launched in 2005, has become an iconic expression of Minotti style. Its wire mesh frame is so lightweight is seems to defy gravity, and now it takes on a new personality, thanks to the introduction of a white painted finish with bush-hammered texture. This new version of the Cortina armchair considerably expands its range of possible uses, both inside the home -- offering a variety of pairing options with all the sofas in the Minotti collection; as well as outside -- in tandem with the Alison Iroko Outdoor sofa. The dynamic shape of the frame and the unusual texture of the Cortina Outdoor sofa form a welcoming background for backrest cushions specifically modified for superior attachment to the frame. All the cushions are covered in white cotton canvas, treated with waterproof coating. The completely removable upholstery fabric comes in an exclusive range of fabrics and colors, tested for their ability to withstand outdoor conditions.
