VIVIENNE DINING CHAIR
VIVIENNE DINING CHAIR
Designed by GamFratesi
A plastic design with a contemporary allure characterises Vivienne.
With its enveloping shapes, this family of seats – featuring large and lounge armchairs, a bergère, two dining little armchairs and ottomans – originates from the hemicycle curve of the backrest which, in an interplay of volumes and overlaps, creates an aesthetic that is both sculptural and welcoming.
DESIGNERS
GAMFRATESI
Minotti and GamFratesi began collaborating in 2018. The design of GamFratesi, architecture firm established in 2006 in Copenhagen by Italian-Danish duo Enrico Fratesi and Stine Gam, is rooted in the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and technology, rigour and poetry.
With their different cultural backgrounds, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi model their creative intuitions into designs that draw from both the classic decor and artisan tradition of Denmark and the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach.
A tried and tested melting pot of styles, expressed in furniture, objects, and installations with a silent elegance, in the production techniques used and in the meticulous attention to detail applied to the creations.
The result is a sophisticated interpretation of Scandinavian minimalism, with many subtle, yet striking Nordic hints. In 2019, GamFratesi designed two indoor proposals for Minotti, namely the Angie and Shelley seats.
The partnership was strengthened in 2020 with the launch of the Fynn family of seats in indoor and outdoor versions, and continued in 2021 with the Lido seats for indoor and Lido Cord Outdoor for open-air spaces, together with the Patio seating system, which inspired Patio Teak - the version with the wood base created for the 2022 Collection.
The following year, the duo created the Raphael seats, while for the 2024 Collection they developed the Vivienne family and the Kendall armchair: enveloping shapes that express great comfort, fitting seamlessly into any living environment. The Daylight modular seating system, enriched with swivel armchairs and loveseats, is also debuting for open-air spaces.
