Designed by Hannes Peer, the Emmi Cord Outdoor collection by Minotti reimagines 1970s-inspired outdoor seating with sculptural lightness, woven textures and enduring comfort for contemporary hospitality settings.
Minotti | The finest outdoor environments balance comfort, elegance and a seamless connection to their surroundings. With the Emmi Cord Outdoor collection, Minotti extends this philosophy into the open air, presenting a sophisticated seating series designed by Hannes Peer that combines retro-inspired character with contemporary refinement.
Originally conceived for interior spaces, Emmi evolves effortlessly into an outdoor collection while preserving the distinctive design language that defines its identity. Drawing inspiration from the relaxed glamour of 1970s outdoor furnishings, the collection introduces an armchair and sofa characterised by generous proportions, welcoming silhouettes and an inviting sense of ease.
At the heart of the design is a slender tubular stainless-steel frame that appears almost weightless within the landscape. Carefully wrapped in woven polypropylene cord, the structure creates a rich tactile presence while maintaining visual transparency. This interplay between solidity and openness allows the collection to integrate naturally into terraces, poolside lounges, resort gardens and outdoor hospitality settings.
The defining feature of Emmi Cord Outdoor is its elegant, flowing base. Tracing a continuous line between the seat and backrest, the frame creates a graceful silhouette that softens the overall composition while enhancing its sculptural appeal. The result is furniture that feels both substantial and remarkably light, offering comfort without visual heaviness.
Soft, generously padded cushions introduce an additional layer of comfort, encouraging guests to linger and relax. The woven cord detailing enriches the sensory experience, bringing texture, depth and craftsmanship to every angle. Available in refined colour combinations including Butter, Dark Brown and Olive, each finish has been carefully paired with complementary frame colours to create a harmonious and sophisticated aesthetic.
Whether positioned within a luxury resort, boutique hotel terrace or private outdoor retreat, Emmi Cord Outdoor delivers a refined expression of contemporary outdoor living. Through thoughtful proportions, meticulous detailing and timeless design, Minotti transforms outdoor seating into an experience of effortless elegance and enduring comfort.
