Barrel Armchair
2026 Barrel Armchair
Giampiero Tagliaferri 2026
The Barrel armchair has a bold sculptural presence inspired by the spirit of the 1970s. Its organic, enveloping shape is defined by soft, flowing lines that form a full, rounded volume. The result is an armchair with a strong identity that stands out in both contemporary and eclectic interiors.
A tubular metal cantilever frame follows the silhouette with a clean, dynamic line. It remains visible and adds lightness, while providing a subtle spring effect that enhances comfort. A continuous padded element wraps around the seat and back, forming a fluid outline. The seat and backrest are made of two separate cushions, designed for balanced, cocooning support. Careful 45-degree stitching and subtle gathers add rhythm and detail, while a matching footstool completes the design.

Giampiero Tagliaferri
The collaboration between Minotti and Giampiero Tagliaferri kicks off in 2024. Giampiero Tagliaferri weaves a cosmopolitan tapestry of cultural references using inspiration from his two home cities, Milan and Los Angeles, both exerting a profound influence on his singular aesthetic sensibility. His refined interiors and architecture synthesise the dual nature of classic 20th-century Italian design where radical beauty is leavened by restraint, along with the sun-kissed optimism and effortless elegance of pioneering Southern California modernism.
About Minotti
Today, Minotti remains a family-run business, guided by the second and third generations. The brand continues to evolve through creative partnerships with leading international designers such as Giampiero Tagliaferri, Hannes Peer, GamFratesi, Marcio Kogan with Studio MK27, and Japan’s nendo. These collaborations bring fresh perspectives to a modern, global design portfolio.
This month, @paola_lenti_official hosted a series of workshops at our Sydney and Melbourne showrooms, demonstrating their Chromatic Alphabet to a collection of local architecture and design professionals.
The Chromatic Alphabet displays hundreds of materials from the Paola Lenti library which are the result of more than 30 years of research. This library of texture and colour forms the foundation of the Paola Lenti design language, and is used as a tool to design the space and palette of a project.
The Chromatic Alphabet installation remains on display in our showrooms throughout July, alongside the latest collection from Paola Lenti. You’re welcome to visit and play.

Craft is at the heart of Paola Lenti’s textile collections. Weaving, knitting, braiding, stitching, and hand-finishing techniques create materials rich in texture and character, where every detail celebrates the Paola Lenti culture of making.
