Torii Bold Armchair

Torii Bold Armchair by nendo for Minotti marks a bold evolution in the Torii furniture family. This piece expertly balances the contrast between its generously rounded upholstery and the delicate lightness of its metal base structure, illustrating a masterful fusion of elements that define contemporary elegance.

Derived from the original iconic Torii design, the Torii Bold armchair retains the signature morphology of the backrest while presenting a more robust and compact form. This evolution allows it to engage in a harmonious dialogue with the earlier design, through a clever interplay of solid forms and open spaces, embodying the essence of modern design philosophy.

The armchair’s slim backrest is a testament to the craftsmanship, detailed with vertical quilting and piping in eco-leather or eco-nubuck. These elements not only outline the upholstery’s perimeter but also highlight the meticulous attention to detail and the couture aspect of the design.

In a nod to traditional Japanese aesthetics, from which the Torii family draws its inspiration, the feet of the chair are adorned with a small, jewel-like button. This detail maintains the balance of vertical and horizontal lines and supports the upholstered volume of both the sofas and armchairs in this collection. The availability of both fixed and swivel versions of the armchair, the latter featuring a curved metal base that discreetly houses the swivel mechanism, offers versatility in styling and functionality.

Accompanying the armchair, and extending the design language of the Torii Bold family, are the ottomans. Available in various shapes and sizes, these pieces mirror the armchair’s base design and are equipped with castors for ease of movement, lending an informal touch to the living space.

The Torii Bold armchair, alongside the matching sofa available in both small and large sizes, including a peninsula version, invites a blend of tradition and innovation into your home. This collection blends the refined beauty of Japanese inspirations with the versatility and comfort required for modern living spaces.
