Elegance meets equilibrium in the Libra armchair – a refined expression of 1970s design sensibility, reimagined for the contemporary home. Designed by Giampiero Tagliaferri for Minotti, Libra is more than just an armchair; it’s a sculptural piece that effortlessly blends comfort, artistry, and architectural form.
At first glance, Libra captivates with its softly structured volumes. The generous seat, gently reclining backrest, and welcoming headrest appear to float in harmony, delicately layered like architectural elements. This composition of overlapping forms gives the piece its name: Libra, the Latin word for “scale” – a nod to the visual and structural balance that defines the design.
Available in a selection of Minotti’s finest leathers or luxurious fabrics, each cushion is crafted with exceptional attention to detail. A distinctive central stitch runs through the cushions, adding both texture and a tailored, three-dimensional finish that evokes the precision of haute couture. This meticulous stitching is not only decorative but reveals the craftsmanship at the heart of every Minotti creation.
The silhouette is framed by elegant piping that curls along the perimeter of the armchair, bergère, ottoman, and dining version. This subtle yet striking detail guides the eye along the gentle curves of the upholstery, showcasing the artisanal care with which each piece is made. Every fold, seam, and contour is considered – nothing is rushed, and nothing is accidental.
Supporting the composition is a unique metal base, featuring slim tubular legs and a sculptural curvilinear plate that cradles the seat from beneath. This design choice creates the illusion of lightness, allowing the armchair to feel grounded yet airy – a floating comfort station that invites you to pause, relax, and stay a little longer.
Perfect for interiors that embrace bold design and luxurious tactility, the Libra armchair brings a sense of balance, style, and quiet confidence to any room.
