05Rodolfo Dordoni, 2022, cord, bronze finish metal

Minotti Belt Cord takes the Belt seats Rodolfo Dordoni drew for indoor use in 2021 and moves them outside.

Shown here: a two-seat sofa, an armchair with armrests and a dining chair with armrests, all from 2022.

Minotti Bézier

06Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27, 2025, polypropylene cord, painted aluminum

Minotti Bézier is an outdoor seating system and table family by Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27, shaped by the Bézier curve that mathematicians and drafting software use to draw smooth arcs. The modular sofa and the armchair have deep one-piece seats and backs wrapped in thick polypropylene cord. The low tables set stone tops on a stainless steel frame.

Curved cord seating

Minotti Daylight

09GamFratesi, 2024, teak wood, ceppo di gré stone

Minotti Daylight is a 2024 outdoor family by GamFratesi. Its seats have curved backs and arms that open like a fan, and each stands on four cylindrical teak feet. The range covers a modular sofa, a daybed and a reclining sun lounger on castors, with side tables that set Ceppo di Gré stone into a teak frame.

Minotti Emmi Cord

10Hannes Peer, woven cord, tubular metal

Minotti Emmi Cord takes a design Hannes Peer first drew for indoor rooms and moves it onto the terrace. The outdoor family has two pieces, a sofa and an armchair that comes with a footstool. A slim tubular metal frame is wrapped in woven cord of one matching color, and loose cushions sit on it for the seat and back.

Minotti Florida

11Rodolfo Dordoni, 2017, teak wood, pietra del cardoso stone

Minotti Florida is a modular outdoor sofa by Rodolfo Dordoni, Minotti's art director since 1998. Solid natural teak forms the feet and the rear supports behind the back cushions. Around the sectional sit a coffee table topped in Pietra del Cardoso stone and an outdoor bed, so one family can furnish a whole terrace.

Teak modular seating

Minotti Halley

13Rodolfo Dordoni, 2017, powder-coated metal, polypropylene cord

Minotti Halley brings Rodolfo Dordoni's indoor armchair of the same name outside. The outdoor family, introduced in 2017, has an armchair, a sofa, a pouf and a daybed. Each metal frame is sandblasted, powder coated and then wrapped completely in polypropylene cord that looks like woven wicker. Padded cushions sit inside, with covers that come off.

Minotti Lido Cord

15GamFratesi, 2021, stainless steel, polypropylene cord

Minotti Lido Cord is an outdoor family by GamFratesi with a look taken from the 1950s. It includes two-seater sofas, lounge and dining armchairs and round or square coffee tables in Basaltina stone.

Minotti Patio

16GamFratesi, 2021, aluminum, steel

Minotti Patio is a modular outdoor seating system from 2021 by GamFratesi, the Italian-Danish studio. After working mostly in iroko and teak, Minotti mixed materials here: an extruded aluminum base, steel backs wrapped in polypropylene cord, Basaltina stone tops and wood trays. Sofas, armchairs, benches and coffee tables slot together like tiles.

Modular aluminum seating

Minotti Patio Teak

17GamFratesi, 2022, teak wood, aluminum

Minotti Patio Teak is the wooden version of the Patio seating system by GamFratesi, added in 2022. The two-seater and three-seater sofas sit on a slim teak platform raised on bronze-colored aluminum feet. The backs are borrowed from the aluminum Patio and woven in ecru polypropylene rope, so both versions share one outline.

Minotti Pattie Cord

18Giampiero Tagliaferri, 2024, stainless steel, woven cord

Minotti Pattie Cord is the outdoor version of Giampiero Tagliaferri's indoor Pattie seat, added in 2024.

20Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27, 2018, teak wood, woven fiber

Minotti Quadrado is a modular outdoor seating system by Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27, launched in 2018 and extended in 2019 with an armchair, a double daybed and a rectangular table. Every piece carries the same signature: teak duckboard, the slatted decking used on yachts so water runs straight through. Light Bronze metal details tie the family together.

Minotti Rivera

21Rodolfo Dordoni, 2015, iroko wood, woven polypropylene

Minotti Rivera is a 2015 outdoor collection by Rodolfo Dordoni that reworks retro Mediterranean lounge furniture.

Minotti Saki

22Nendo, 2025, lacquered panels, woven cord

Minotti Saki is the outdoor version of Nendo's Saki indoor seating system, added in 2025. Curved panels form the backs and arms like the petals of an opening flower, which is what the name refers to in Japanese. It comes in two families: Saki Outdoor with smooth lacquered panels and Saki Cord Outdoor with panels in woven wicker-effect cord.

Minotti Sunray

23Rodolfo Dordoni, 2020, teak wood, flat cord

Minotti Sunray is a 2020 outdoor seating system by Rodolfo Dordoni. A flat teak platform on a sled base in polished Bronze metal carries a thick seat cushion, and a curved back wrapped in flat cord closes the composition. The family around it takes in a teak armchair, the upholstered Sunray Luke bench, Sunray Meg coffee tables and the Terrace table.

Minotti Tape Cord

24Nendo, 2019, metal frame, wicker-effect cord

Minotti Tape Cord is Nendo's outdoor take on the Tape seating family, which first appeared indoors in 2018. Presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2019, it wraps a metal frame in wicker-effect cord in Mud or Licorice. A small Light Bronze plate that holds each leg to the body is the detail the name refers to.

Minotti Torii Nest

25Nendo, 2021, teak wood, woven cord

Minotti Torii Nest is a family of outdoor seats by Nendo, built around a round backrest of woven cord. The indoor chair came first in 2020; the outdoor armchair followed in 2021, and a curved two seat sofa and a round sofa joined in 2023. Cushions rest on a solid teak frame raised on slim aluminum legs.

Choosing a Minotti sectional for outside

Start with the frame, because it decides how the sofa ages. Teak and iroko weather to silver gray unless they are oiled, and many owners like that. Woven cord on a metal frame dries fast after rain and keeps its color. Stone or HPL tops on the matching tables change nothing about the sofa but a lot about how the group looks.

Then decide between a fixed sofa and one of the Minotti sectionals. Systems such as Quadrado, Patio or Saki are sold in modules, so the price depends on how many you join and in what shape. A two-seater from Patio Teak or Belt Cord is priced as one piece. Every sofa Minotti makes for outdoors is quoted with its fabric, because fabric grade moves the price as much as size.
