Orion Armchair
2026 Orion Armchair
Giampiero Tagliaferri 2026
The Orion armchair by Giampiero Tagliaferri is defined by overlapping volumes and precise geometric cuts. It is inspired by constellation-like compositions, where elements are arranged along orthogonal and diagonal axes. This creates an armchair that feels structured, fluid, and visually light in the space.
Generous seat cushions with inward stitching provide comfort and a clear graphic identity. The backrest sits directly on the seat and is finished with tone-on-tone stitching for a clean, continuous look. The armchair rests on a recessed perimeter frame in metal or leather, which lifts it slightly off the floor and creates a floating effect. The result is a piece that combines comfort, clarity, and architectural precision.
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.
