Marble, a material with timeless charm, inspired the design of the unconventional and elegant Jacob collection, created by Rodolfo Dordoni for Minotti. This collection of coffee tables is eclectic both in its use and in the variety of finishes and sizes. Unusually shaped tops rest on solid oak legs, brushed and painted black. The foot caps and the plate at the top of each leg, made of bronzed metal, are details that add a touch of elegance to these very distinctive tables. The various finishes available range from Mink-stained Sucupira veneer to more sought-after Calacatta or Bardiglio Nuvolato marble, via modern glossy finishes in Sand or Mud. The small Jacob table with round top is available in Mink-stained Sucupira veneer and back-painted glass versions.
Rodolfo Dordoni is a major figure in Italian design. After graduating in architecture from the Milan Polytechnic in 1979, he set up Dordoni Architects Studio and went on to work with major furniture brands such as Foscarini, Cappellini and Artemide, where he was artistic director, as well as Flos, Moroso, Cassina and, more recently, Coédition. He has also worked closely with Minotti since 1997. Its timeless, modern designs combine aesthetics and comfort. The lines are sober, minimalist and extremely distinctive. The roots of the collaboration between Minotti and Rodolfo Dordoni are long-standing and solid, because the same values are shared by the company and the designer. The designer's inspirations and thoughts come to life, and particular attention is paid to the details, finishes and materials that reveal the unique character of Minotti collections.
