Tape ‘Cord’ Outdoor Armchair
2019 Tape ‘Cord’ Outdoor Armchair
nendo 2019
The Tape family of seats, which made its debut in 2018, naturally evolves, incorporating items for the outdoor environment that maintain the undeniable elegance of the forms and concepts of the design, and add a few welcome variants that embrace the concept of outdoor living. The seats become deeper, larger and more relaxing, while the metal frame, in a new outdoor finish, is covered with the wicker-effect cords available in two colours: Mud and Liquorice.
Here, the couture detail of Tape - the piece of ribbon that holds the feet on to the body - takes the form of a metal plate in Bronze colour, a finish that is the leitmotiv of all the outdoor seats of the 2019 Collection
nendo
In 2002, Oki Sato opened his architecture and design practice named nendo – meaning ‘clay’ in Japanese, as the studio prides itself on being as flexible as that venerable material. Internationally renowned for his multi-faceted approach, which spans from graphic design to product design, and from architecture to the creation of installations, Oki Sato officially joined the Minotti team of designers in 2018. With his light, fresh and minimal style, he creates designs with a big personality and a poetic touch.
