Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni for Minotti, the Jensen armchair was born to become a benchmark in terms of design and comfort. The rigid outer structure gives stability to the whole, while the goose-down padding invites relaxation. The topstitching around the perimeter of the structure highlights the chair's outline. The zip, visible on the front of the seat, has a double function: it is both decorative and practical. But it is in the base that Jensen's originality and uniqueness are fully expressed. The triangular die-cast aluminium section is a collection of fluid curves, varying thicknesses, and roundness. The Jensen armchairs are characterised by sophisticated technology typical of Minotti, who put study, research and engineering to work to create objects of eloquent beauty.
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.
