Marcel Breuer
Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) was born in Hungary and trained at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany, under Walter Gropius. He produced the first tubular steel armchair – the Model B3 aka the Wassily – in 1925, and pioneered furniture made from laminated wood, notably for British manufacturer, Isokon. A 1936 moulded plywood chair he made inspired the work of the Eames a decade later.

Built around a curved aluminium frame, Coupé can be configured as a flexible system or as individual pieces, including a generous couch with a distinctive double inclination. The foot of the frame protects the upholstered base while sharpening the silhouette from every angle. Designed by @giampiero.tagliaferri for @minotti_spa.
Coupé balances soft, ergonomic forms with a strong horizontal line, as the padded headrest and lumbar elements intersect with the curved profile of the armrest. Its inclined seat recalls a modernist approach to comfort—designed to embrace the body rather than simply accommodate it. Designed by @giampiero.tagliaferri for @minotti_spa.
Coupé by @giampiero.tagliaferri revisits the sculptural language of 1960s and ’70s seating through overlapping rounded volumes and an inclined, enveloping profile. Tone-on-tone longitudinal stitching traces the leather upholstery from headrest to seat, a precise detail that reflects the couture-inspired craftsmanship of @minotti_spa.
