RAPHAEL, A TIMELESS EMBRACE
Minotti’s manufacturing savoir-faire combines with the design expertise of the GamFratesi duo, whose creative drive comes from the fusion of their respective cultures and an experimental approach to materials. Hence Raphael: a classically-inspired family of seats embellished by contemporary details.
With their dual background, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi draw on the Scandinavian tradition, enriching the clean, essential lines typical of Nordic design with enveloping silhouettes and refined tailoring, an expression of the charm and quality of Made in Italy craftsmanship. And this is what Raphael, in all its different forms, lives by: a timeless elegance, delicate yet tangible.
A family of seats that perfectly interprets the comfort and principles – both aesthetic and functional – of Minotti’s style: from the sophisticated upholstery that dresses the organic shapes with precision to the ability of the furnishing pieces to be versatile and to fit effortlessly into multiple contexts, from residential to hospitality spaces.

Raphael harmoniously inhabits living spaces as a protagonist, also blending, in terms of style and size, with the other furnishing proposals, thanks to its compact, flexible volumes.
“A delicate, timeless embrace”. This is how the designers of Raphael describe it: a succession of sinuous waves, inspired by gestures and movements repeated in the space, which take shape in a light, refined design.
