DISCOVERY
ROBERTO MINOTTI
TIMELESS YET STRONG, REFINED YET CHARACTERFUL AND MODERN – the interplay between these seemingly contrasting elements is beautifully expressed in the couture creations of Minotti. Established in 1948 by Alberto Minotti, the brand has evolved from a small artisan workshop into one of the world’s most renowned interior design houses, with its finely crafted furnishings and alluring Made-in-Italy aesthetic adorning many stylish spaces and residences. To Roberto Minotti, Alberto’s son and the brand’s co-CEO today, this evolutionary path has been rooted in the principle of “innovation in the spirit of continuity”. The recent Salone del Mobile Milano Shanghai showcased the brand’s 2019 collection – a highly dynamic, multifaceted melange of sofas, chairs, coffee tables, bookcases, rugs and more designed by the studio, as well as in collaboration with top international names such as Milanese architect-designer Rodolfo Dordoni, French-born furniture designer Christophe Delcourt and Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan’s Studio MK27. Drawing inspiration from various spheres of creativity, from fashion to art and from automobiles to photography, and crafted with fine sartorial attention, each of these pieces introduces what Roberto calls “a new vision of the interior to life and inaugurates a new decorative code that mixes different styles, while staying true to the Minotti spirit and identity.”
永不過時的魅力，精緻又具現代特色——看似相對的元素在Minotti高級訂制作品中卻是如此完美地互補襯托。這個由Alberti Minotti於1948年創立的品牌在短短70多年間，從一間小型工匠工作室發展成全球最享負盛名的室內設計公司之一。Minotti精緻的傢具設計配合意大利迷人的工藝與美學，多年來為時尚空間和住宅生色不少。對Alberto兒子兼Minotti聯合總裁Roberto Minotti而言，品牌的發展之路植根於「持續創新精神」的原則，最近更在米蘭國際傢具展Salone del Mobile創下里程碑：展覽上Minotti展示了2019年系列，包括沙發、椅子、茶几、書櫃和地毯等充滿活力的傑作，設計由工作室與多位國際知名設計師合作而成，如米蘭的建築設計師Rodolfo Dordoni、法國出生的傢具設計師Christophe Delcourt和巴西建築師Marcio Kogan的工作室Studio MK27。創作靈感從時裝、藝術、汽車到攝影等各個界別而來，正如Roberto所言，每件經精心打造的作品均演釋出「室內設計為生活帶來新視野，開創融合不同風格的創新裝飾，同時忠於Minotti精神和特色」的信念。
