A Minotti armchair or a lounge chair

A lounge chair Minotti designs for the terrace sits low and deep, often with a footstool, as in Emmi Cord and Pattie Cord. A Minotti armchair meant for dining sits higher, with arms that clear the table edge, as in Trio or Yoko Cord. The pieces table on each collection page says which is which.

Materials follow the same logic as the sofas. Teak shells, as on Daiki, turn silver if left unoiled. Cord backs, as on Lido Cord and Torii Nest, drain and dry quickly after rain. Upholstered versions take outdoor fabrics priced by grade, which is one reason every Minotti lounge chair here is quoted rather than listed with a price.

Two lounge chairs and a small table make a complete corner on a narrow balcony. The plan on this page shows the space a fuller group needs.
