Orion Sofa Outdoor
2026 Orion Sofa Outdoor
Giampiero Tagliaferri 2026
The Orion Outdoor seating system is designed for open-air spaces with compositional freedom. It is formed by layered volumes and gently inclined surfaces that create a calm, contemporary presence in the landscape. Inspired by constellations, its elements are arranged along orthogonal and oblique axes. This allows flexible compositions for both residential and hospitality settings.
The system is built from rectangular, square, and trapezoidal modules. These elements can be combined in many different layouts. Generous seat cushions feature converging stitching that defines their graphic character. The low seating strengthens the connection to the surroundings. Steel feet, available in painted finishes, lift the structure and create a sense of lightness. The system is completed with freestanding travertine coffee tables in varied tones, which add material contrast and ground the composition in the outdoor environment.
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.
