Description
Pure and stylized shapes are accentuated by the combination of materials that creates a sophisticated contrast between the solidity of the wood and the glossy shine of the lacquered finish. The refined workmanship calls to mind the skilled techniques that define the art of fine cabinet making, where special care was taken in crafting the interior, with painstaking design of every detail based on how it would be used.
The Lang storage units, featuring a modern, sleek design aesthetic provide a variety of configurations to suit the most diverse needs. Many options exist for integrating Lang into various settings – from dining room sideboard, paired with the Morgan table, to living room sideboard as a room divider, to bar cabinet for the conversation area, or console for the lobby.
The sophisticated and practical internal structure of the bar cabinet is outfitted with a back in smoked glass mirror and shelf in transparent glass that separates the compartments designed to hold bottles and glasses. The drop front doors are equipped with soft-down drop front support mechanism. The outer structure comes with an elegant granite color glossy lacquer finish, while the wood front panels are available in polished ebony, flamed oak with tobacco stain finish, and oak with moka finish. The interior is constructed of the same wood as the front panels, with opaque finish, to highlight the skilled workmanship typical of the fine cabinet making tradition that characterizes every element in the lang family.

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.
