In the 2025 collection for Minotti, GamFratesi extends their sculptural language with the Vivienne sofa - where soft curves meet precision tailoring. Generous yet refined, it continues the narrative first introduced with last year’s armchair: expressive comfort for modern living.

Epicurus in Copenhagen, designed by GamFratesi, is a restaurant and jazz club inspired by ancient Greek vases and classical craftsmanship. Housed in a former military gymnasium, it features smoked oak inlays, travertine stone, and custom lighting that blend historic references with contemporary Danish design.
Hand-drawn motifs of dancers and musicians, inspired by Greek pottery, are reinterpreted as intricate wood marquetry. The space combines tactile materials and acoustic elements to create a warm, immersive atmosphere where food, music, and design meet in harmony.

Meet GamFratesi - the design duo blending Danish restraint with Italian expression.

Founded in 2006 by architect Enrico Fratesi and designer Stine Gam, the studio reflects the cultural intersection of its founders: minimalist form meets poetic detail, function meets feeling. From their Copenhagen-based studio, they’ve shaped some of the most distinctive pieces in contemporary design, yet always with a quiet intensity and a deep material sensitivity.

Pictured here in their home, the pair offer a glimpse into the world behind the work.
