Minotti is what Italian restraint looks like when money is no object. Founded in Meda in 1948 and still run by the Minotti family, it turned the modular sofa into something architectural, most of all under Rodolfo Dordoni, its art director from 1997 to 2023. Every Minotti piece here is an original, authenticated and restored, then delivered in 1 to 5 days. Originals only.
Minotti, Italian Contemporary Furniture Since 1948
Minotti was founded by Alberto Minotti in Meda, in Italy's Brianza furniture district, in 1948. His sons Renato and Roberto turned a small workshop into an industrial company through the 1960s without losing the craft, and the family still runs Minotti SpA today. The result is high quality modern furniture made for residential and hospitality environments alike, sold through showrooms in more than 80 countries.
The brand's voice was defined by Rodolfo Dordoni, art director from 1997 until 2023, who reimagined the modular sofa with systems like the Hamilton and gave Minotti its calm, architectural language. The range now runs across seating, tables, indoor and outdoor furniture, in deep neutral palettes and exact detailing. Few companies make contemporary furniture design feel this composed.
New, a Minotti sofa runs well into five figures, ordered through a showroom with a production wait. Pre-owned originals at REHAUS start around £1,900, authenticated, restored where needed and delivered in 1 to 5 days. Design doesn't depreciate. The Forever Guarantee and a 30-day home trial mean reduced risk on furniture built to last. Browse the originals.
