Minotti Daniels
Comparable to a landscape design project, where carefully plotted combinations of elements create a new domestic scenery, the Daniels seating system redesigns the living areas with brand new compositions. Regular curves and ellipses interrupt the linearity of the layouts, imbuing them with a more dynamic momentum. Innovative and truly original, it is at its most striking when paired with the Amber low units, creating solutions with a strong visual impact that pass seamlessly from the soft feel of the seats to the harder feel of the containers.
Description
Design Inspiration & Philosophy
Developed to respond to spaces and architectures marked by extremely diverse identities, Daniels is a highly versatile seating system with design based, modular, versatile and innovative qualities. The complex design introduces original and unexpected structural details and compositional elements with a dynamic, contemporary rhythm, offering infinite compositions which can all be traced back to three main design morphologies.
Innovative Structural Design
The frame of the back and the combination of two different depths produces an effect in which the backrests appear to overlap, creating movement at the back which dispels the perception of the sofa as a continuous screen when set in the centre of the room. This structure also makes it possible to add the Clive console, which further accentuates its motion and functional versatility.
Modular Compositions
The chairs are designed based on the concepts of full modularity and maximum comfort, featuring a single cushion. The vast design system includes decisively large chaise longue couches with curved seating areas. The offset version, where the backrest juts out from the side of the seat, easily accommodates the Amber ottoman or low unit, creating a different compositional solution that moves from more geometric shapes to an extraordinary combination of curves.
Removable Ottoman System
The system offers an alternative to the fixed armrest in the form of a removable ottoman, in leather or fabric, on wheels. Its natural position is alongside the sofa, attached using magnets, but it can be moved and used as an additional chair or surface, or, if positioned opposite the seat, as a natural extension of the same. The ottomans can also be attached to the end of the Amber low units.
Finishes & Materials
Daniels is available in three sophisticated upholstery options:
– All fabric version for a cohesive textile expression
– All leather version for refined, luxurious surfaces
– Combined option with base and armrest in leather and cushion in fabric
– Harmonious mix of textures and colours from the exclusive Minotti textile collection

Perfect For
– Living areas requiring dynamic, contemporary compositions with strong visual impact
– Spaces and architectures marked by extremely diverse identities
– Centre of room placements where overlapping backrests create visual movement
– Interiors seeking the extraordinary combination of curves and geometric forms
– Compositional solutions that pair seating with Amber low units and ottomans
From carefully plotted landscape like compositions to infinite modular possibilities, Daniels creates a new domestic scenery with original structural details and a dynamic rhythm.
