Marcio Konan / Studio mk27

The collaboration between Minotti and Marcio Kogan, a Brazilian architect, began in 2017.  Marcio Kogan approaches the world of architecture and founds the studio mk27 in São Paulo in the late 70s: a cosmopolitan team composed to date of more than thirty architects, great admirers of Brazilian modernism. Volcanic and rigorous, Attentive to pure volumes and simplicity of shapes, as well as details and finishes, Kogan prefers open square architectures - in aesthetic and stylistic continuity between in and out - characterized by full-wall windows that cancel the break with the outside.

With a design language inspired by nature, the warm and clear woods of his land, as well as the clean lines of his architectural works, in 2018 he developed the Quadrado seating system for Minotti. A modular program, essential in volumes and materials, in the name of lightness and almost floating design of the bases. An articulated project designed to furnish open-air spaces, even of important dimensions, to be lived in total relaxation.

On the occasion of the 2020 Collection, Marcio Kogan strengthens the creative partnership with Minotti and compares for the first time with three interior design projects: the Daiki armchairs (also in the outdoor version next to the dining chairs)the Boteco family of containers and Linha tables and coffee tables.  Projects that reaffirm the traits of an essential style, defined by rigorous lines and shapes that, at the same time, express a sophisticated search for quality finishes and materials.
