Fratesi

From $33933

Having explored the use of woods, such as iroko and teak, with Patio, designed by Italian-Danish studio GamFratesi, Minotti proposes an unexpected mix of different materials: aluminium, wood, stone, cord.

The outdoor seating system, with its highly versatile modularity, is conceived as a dynamic mosaic, composed of tesserae in simple geometric shapes, which can be pieced together as desired, and reconfigured to suit the available space and the mood to be created.
The design of the sofa base structure enables the back elements to be arranged in various set positions all along the perimeter, to design conversation, relaxation, and vis-à-vis areas, spacing out the seats with coffee tables, and complementing them with ottomans and benches.

Designer Profile

Gam Fratesi

Stine Gam, Danish architect with his masters in furniture design. Enrico Fratesi Italian architect graduated with his masters in industrial design. Gam and Fratesi gained experience as architects in several architectural practices in Japan and Scandinavia before establishing their own design studio. The studio is based in Copenhagen.

GamFratesi’s design takes its creative drive from a fusion of tradition and renewal and in an experimental approach to their chosen materials and techniques. With their dual traditional background, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition as well as the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. Understanding a tradition and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it. From this cross-cultural substrate they create furniture that respectfully reflects tradition while also featuring unique embedded stories, symbols and associations, often expressed in a minimalist idiom.

GamFratesi have received significant awards including Elle Decoration International design award (EDIDA)
as International Young Designer of the Year 2013, Finn Juhl Prize 2015, Bruno Mdepaathsson prize 2018, Invited as Guest of Honor 2014 at the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2014, Best Designer from Elle Decoration Japan 2017, final selection Compasso D’Oro, IF award and Good Design Award.
