Minotti was founded in the 50’s and born out of the vision intuition of Alberto Minotti. Its original artisan dimension soon changed and from the 60’s the company acquired an industrial character and size. In the 70’s, sons Renato and Roberto Minotti took it to another level by kick-starting the company’s expansion and garnering recognition for the brand in Italy and overseas. In charge of the company’s strategies, the Minotti brothers shared creative styling and aesthetic principles with architect Rodolfo Dordoni, who has been overseeing the collections since 1997. The key to the Minotti identity lies in its ability to express the Made in Italy concept to perfection, melding tradition and technology in an indissoluble way: artisan expertise puts the finishing touches to a product that is made using cutting-edge production methods, while intelligent hands lend sensitivity and emotion to industrial precision. Added to this high-level know-how is the careful selection of materials and technologies, which reveal a penchant for impeccable details, in an ideal striving for excellence that involves all sectors of the company. Recognizable features of the trademark Minotti style and products are a timeless design, unparalleled comfort, reliability and the ability to stand the test of time. These are the distinctive hallmarks that have made Minotti a leading manufacturer and seller of furniture and upholstered furniture which are distributed through an international network of trade people who are familiar with the recognition earned by the brand in 60 years of history. A recognition that has further strengthened the brand’s position in an ever more demanding, competitive and global market. This is why Minotti continues to be a mainstay for a discerning public who recognizes that a unique way of imagining and living the home is embedded in the brand’s unique lifestyle.
