Minotti将在今年的米兰国际家具展上展示由Nendo，Christophe Delcourt，GamFratesi和Studio MK27以及Dordoni等设计师打造的新家具。

根据Dordoni的说法，展位的设计师为了在展示新家具系列的同时，也能够彰显Minotti品牌特色。

Minotti is showcasing new pieces of furniture from designers including Nendo, Christophe Delcourt, GamFratesi and Studio MK27, as well as by Dordoni, at its stand at Salone del Mobile this year.
According to Dordoni, the booth was designed to showcase Minotti's updated brand identity, as well as to display the new collections.

“我们过去通常采用方形的几何形状，”他说。 “但是我们今年呈现的空间更加圆润。”

正在推出的新产品中主要有三种沙发：由Dordoni设计的West系列和Lawson系列，以及由Delcourt设计的Daniels系列。

"In the past, we have worked with square geometrical forms," he said. "The space that we're presenting this year is more curved, more round. It's a new form."
Chief amongst the new products being launched are three sofa systems – West and Lawson, both designed by Dordoni, and Daniels, which was designed by Delcourt.

自1997年以来一直与Minotti合作的设计师Dordoni表示，他对West沙发系列的设计与该品牌的传统风格中的相关直线式设计最为符合。

该作品的特点是沙发座椅配有实心皮革镶板，桌子设计与座椅元素完美融合。

Lawson系列具有更柔软的边缘和座椅，在组合时可产生柔和的曲线。Dordoni说：“这是一个尝试打造品牌新风格的系列。”

Dordoni, who has been working with Minotti since 1997, stated that his design for the West sofa system is most in line with the rectilinear style traditionally associated with the brand.
It features sofa seats backed with solid leather panels, and tables designed to seamlessly integrate with the seating elements.
The Lawson system features softer edges and seats that create gentle curves when combined. "It's a system that is in between what the company was and what the company will be in the future," said Dordoni.

Delcourt设计的具有曲线美的Daniels系列代表了与Minotti品牌中著名的立方体形式的差别。

“Delcour是法国人，他的装饰非常具有特点。” Dordoni说。

Delcourt's curvaceous Daniels sofa system represents the greatest deviation from the cubic forms for which Minotti is better known.
"Delcourt is French, and his point of view is very decorative," Dordoni said.

除了主打的沙发系列外，该品牌还推出了两套户外家具，作为与Nendo和Studio MK27持续合作的系列。

日本工作室Nendo提供各种户外扶手椅，沙发和躺椅，在座椅的金属框架上包裹柳条，形成靠背。

Beyond the flagship sofa collections, the brand is also launching two sets of outdoor furniture as part of ongoing collaborations with Nendo and Studio MK27.
A range of outdoor armchairs, sofas and chaise longues from Japanese studio Nendo features wicker-effect cords wrapped vertically around the metal frames of the seats to form the backrest.



Studio MK27是一家由建筑师Marcio Kogan创建的位于巴西的公司，设计了一系列户外桌子，扶手椅和沙发床，由带有方形穿孔的网格状柚木板制成。

Minotti还展示了与丹麦工作室GamFratesi的新合作。GamFratesi创造了两个用皮革框架制成的扶手椅。 “我们让GamFratesi以北欧风格打造Minotti不同的风格，”Dordoni说。

Studio MK27, a Brazilian firm led by architect Marcio Kogan, created a collection of outdoor tables, armchairs and daybeds made of grid-like teak panels with square perforations.
Minotti are also revealing a new collaboration with Danish studio GamFratesi, which has created two armchairs encased in leather frames. "We asked GamFratesi to show us Minotti's identity in a Nordic way," said Dordoni.

为了在设计中融入不同的文化，Minotti接触了来自世界各地的设计师。

Dordoni说：“我们专注于让不同的文化为同一家公司设计产品。”

“我们发现他们都很了解公司理念，现在我们的产品绝对有着Minotti式风格，但也互不相同。”

Minotti approached designers from around the world in order to incorporate points of view from different cultures.
"How to make different cultures work together in developing products for the same company was the question we asked ourselves," said Dordoni.
"What we found was that all of them understood the company, and now we have products that are absolutely Minotti, but also different."

他认为，结合不同的设计文化风格的品牌能在竞争激烈的市场中获得优势，并吸引具有高期望的消费者的注意力。

“与不同的人，不同的文化，不同的敏感性合作，我认为它能为市场提供所需的东西，”他说。

He suggested that combining styles from different design cultures allows brands to gain an advantage in a competitive market, and to attract the attention of consumers with high expectations.
"Working with different people, different cultures, different sensibilities, I think gives the market what it's looking for," he said.
