Minotti’s New “Little Armchair”: Where Minimalism Meets Pure Comfort

In the Milanese studio of INODA+SVEJE, one is unlikely to find the typical detritus of the industrial design process, the frenetic early sketches or tentative architectural renderings scattered across the drafting table.

Before committing a single line to paper, the duo engages in what they describe as a “cloud of words,” a linguistic exploration of how an object should feel long before it takes physical form.
