Concept
A detail that becomes volume is the essence of Goodman, the modular seating system by Rodolfo Dordoni.
The 1970s inspiration behind this design is the strong graphic character of those years, and its ability to stratify and cross marks, reducing the complexity into a few distinctive features. Thus, in Goodman the matelassé stitching, typical of Minotti's tailoring processes, draws shadows and light on the seat, creating the sensation of a quilted cross-padding. Compactness and softness come together in the same concept, making it suitable for environments that inspire extreme relaxation and spaces conceived for a more formal use.
The more traditional linear configurations are joined by more dynamic compositions with curved and tilted elements, the latter characterised by pronounced angles with widths of 30, 75 and 90 degrees. Unexpected rounded shapes that also give a sinuous aesthetic to the compositions created along with the linear modules, for a brand new way of furnishing the living space. A flexible, ever-evolving system, inspired by the most diverse human needs and tastes, as well as the constant transformations of contemporary living.
The volume of the one-piece seat is particularly ergonomic and comfortable thanks to the innovative technology used: the system of pocket springs is combined with a layer of polyurethane padding in layered densities to give a consistent sensation of softness and cosiness.
Goodman is lifted off the floor by refined Bronze or Polished Chrome metal feet set back from the edge, combined with a frame in the same finishes.
A contoured tray covered in saddle-hide clings perfectly to the volume of the armrest just like a saddle, also making the seating system fully versatile, since the cushioning can be turned into a functional coffee table, always at hand.
