Minotti TAPE DINING Chair

Designed by the eclectic Japanese studio Nendo, directed by Oki Sato, Tape is a dining little armchair that follows the same silhouette of the original family of seats, slightly increasing the thicknesses to provide greater visual comfort, while maintaining its distinctive personality.‎ The refined, enveloping line is accentuated by the soft curve of the shell, which shapes the armrest and accomodates a softly shaped lumbar cushion.‎ Its Black Coffee-painted metal base, resting on Black Nickel or Champagne chrome feet, elegantly contrasts with the various leather or fabric finishes of the seat upholstery.‎ The compact and comfortable proportions, the 360° swivel movement with return, and the iconic and characteristic lines make Tape a little armchair suitable for both residential and hospitality spaces.‎ Signed by the eclectic Japanese studio Nendo, directed by Oki Sato, Tape is a collection of seats with a strong personality, characterised by the light silhouette, and consists of a comprehensive range of models: armchair with and without armrests, lounge armchair, bergère, two and three seater sofa and ottoman.‎ With his distinctive ironic approach, the designer overturns the traditional idea of the support feet that come out of the body of the seat, placing them externally to the structure.‎ Tape owes its name to the couture detail, conceived as a piece of ribbon that holds the Light Bronze-coloured metal feet.‎ A real tribute by Nendo to the sartorial experience of Minotti.‎ The soft curve of the shell, which designs the armrest and that accommodates the soft back cushion, highlights the pure and enveloping line of the armchair.‎ Customizable in a wide range of leather and fabric coverings, it presents two possible sets of pairings.‎ In one version, the fabric covers the back and the seat cushion, while the shell and the tape detail are in leather of the same colour; in the other, the textile envelops the back, the seat cushion and the entire shell, while the tape detail is in Light Bronze-coloured saddle-hide.‎ With its firm formal identity and its impeccable proportions, Tape becomes the protagonist of the space that welcomes it, both in residential and hospitality contexts.‎  Further info from manufacturer on TAPE DINING Minotti
