Concept
An armchair featuring the latest technology and the most innovative materials in shapes that are reminiscent of the classic design tradition of the 50’s. A particularly complex design process gives rise to a die-cast aluminum base, a shape with changing lines and thicknesses producing an industrial design element whose aesthetics are similar to a sculpture. Prince is the finest expression of Minotti’s high level know-how. The construction complexity of the base creates an intriguing juxtaposition with the harmonious shape of the seat, a fine line softened by the down padding and highlighted by the Arco 17 Senape color upholstery, a chromatic interpretation with a strong personality that makes a considerable impact in
interior design. Prince offers a variety of finishings with different underlying stylistic interpretations. Added to the brushed glossy aluminum, are the versions in semi-glossy Black, extra-glossy Sand and Pewter which play down the sleekness of the aluminum and make Prince a very versatile armchair that blends in with any setting, in keeping with all the sofas in the collection. As a result of the detailed workmanship, in the finest Minotti tradition coupled with the meticulous attention to every construction detail, Prince strikes the perfect balance between a classy 50’s design and a strong modernity that confer a tailored look. The fabric and leather upholstery in the exclusive Minotti collection fits to perfection while being completely removable. Prince with its Brown colored Shearling upholstery is a warm and inviting interpretation that marries industrial design with craftsmanship. Curves and cushions are highlighted by the use of a precious material, sheepskin, sewn on the reverse as is normally done in the leather trade.
