About this product
Architonic ID: 1308166
Year of Launch: 2015
Leslie is a collection of inviting armchairs that offer a feeling of intimacy and protection while outwardly expressing a formal elegance, thanks to their perfect proportions.
An internal foam shell is fitted inside the heat-molded structural polyurethane foam outer shell that is upholstered entirely in leather. The armchair rests on an elegant solid ash base with open pore Moka lacquered finish and elegant Pewter-color cast aluminum feet. Distinctive features of the Leslie armchair are its precise proportions and tailored construction that is evident in the utter perfection of the leather upholstery that covers the outer and inner shells. The Leslie family includes a bergère, armchair with and without armrests and an ottoman. With their refined elegance, these elements contribute to the creation of cozy, intimate conversation groupings in the home and in hospitality settings such as lounges, waiting rooms and corporate offices. The Leslie armchair is extremely customizable. For an elegant all-over material effect, the outer and inner shells can both be upholstered in leather or a striking contrast can be created by mixing the leather-upholstered outer shell with an inner shell in one of the fabrics from the exclusive Minotti collection.
Structure: the external shell is made of expanded structural Baydur® and upholstered exclusively in leather. Internal contoured shell made of Baydur® CSP dipped in flexible, flame-resistant polyurethane foam. Laminated to the inner shell of the wing-back chair (bergère) is an additional, softer Memory Foam insert. Seat base is in solid ash with open pore Moka stain fastened to a metal underframe with high-rubber-content elastic webbing. The seat is made of high resilience variable-density polyurethane foam with a center insert made of steel pocket springs that ensure the seat retains its shape.
Covers: covering of the seat in fabric or leather is completely removable; the covering of the inner shell is removable when in fabric and unremovable when in leather. The leather upholstery of the outer shell is unremovable.
Legs: molded cast aluminum legs (exclusive Minotti Studio design) painted in pewter color with high gloss, anti-fingerprint finish. Protective Hytrel® (soft, scratch-proof rubber) slides.

Concept
The Leslie sofa features trim proportions and the kind of construction that expresses the master-craftsmanship that has traditionally been a hallmark of the company’s products. The seat back has an enveloping line and offers superior comfort thanks to its Memory Foam insert. The seat rests on an elegant solid oak structure with stained open-pore Moka finish. The Leslie sofa’s feet are in Pewter-color cast aluminum. Thanks to its compact size, the Leslie sofa can be used to stylishly furnish both residential and hospitality areas where space is at a premium, such as lounges, waiting rooms and corporate offices. Unlike the namesake chairs which can be upholstered with different combinations of materials, such as the outer shell covered in leather and inner shell in leather or fabric, the Leslie sofa can only be upholstered in a single material; that is, entirely in leather or fabric, choosing from the countless options in the exclusive Minotti textile collection.
