BELT SOFA
Rodolfo Dordoni Design
Rodolfo Dordoni’s distinctive Belt Collection draws inspiration from the idea of a belt drawing in and encircling the profile of the body, before breaking off and fastening on the front of the seat.

Both the all-fabric and leather versions showcase the ultra-sophisticated crafting process required to follow the curved seat shape and keep the visible seams perfectly straight and even.
Distinctive Characteristics
In the leather incarnation, the strip is sewn onto bonded leather to provide support and consistent thickness, before being applied to the upholstery just as a belt might be applied to a dress. The leather strips are joined with hand-finished stitching, using the same techniques as those for fine luggage.
The distinctive design of the belt-like insert outlines the contours of the seat. The classic shape of the foam body envelops and protects the sitter like a shell, atop the die-cast aluminium base with a polished Brandy-coloured anti-touch varnish. In the leather version, the metallic lustre of the base is reminiscent of the hardware of exquisite leather handbags.
The Minotti Belt Collection includes a sofa, an armchair, a bergère with footstool, a smaller lounge armchair and a compact dining armchair. The latter is available with legs in either Dark Brown stained Canaletto Walnut or lacquered open-pore Black Ash.
BELT SOFA
The legs of the BELT Sofa are available in various finishes to suit any setting, including; Canaletto walnut, stained Dark Brown with matt polyester lacquer finish, flamed ash, Black open-pore lacquer finish or varnished polished cast aluminium with anti-fingerprint Brandy colour finish.
The BELT Sofa was designed by Rodolfo Dordoni in collaboration with Minotti. Dordoni’s imprint is visible in the sophisticated upholstery and sartorial craftsmanship.
The BELT Sofa is only available through official Minotti retailers, such as Minotti London. You can order a BELT Sofa directly from us.
