The Foundation of “Woven Heritage”
This luxury collaboration brings together Minotti and Bottega Veneta, two leading Italian houses recognized for craft led luxury. The project is built on a strong brand synergy of aligned values, shared culture, and overlapping target audiences. Both houses reject overt branding to prioritize material excellence and storytelling. The collaboration challenges category boundaries while remaining faithful to each brand’s identity.
Iconic Bottega Pattern, Historic Minotti Design.
The collection introduces a limited series of accent chairs that translates Bottega’s iconic Intrecciato leather weaving technique into the structural wooden chairs designed by Minotti. The chairs operate as collectible design objects rather than mass furniture. Each piece follows a made to order production model with a 12 week lead time. Pricing sits at a high premium, reflecting their positioning as singular accent pieces comparable to high value decorative objects within the luxury interiors market. This pricing reinforces exclusivity and aligns with the purchasing behavior of collectors.

Programme
Post-Event Communication Strategy
The post event communication prioritizes long term engagement rather than high frequency social posting via selective high-production and editorial releases. This strategy supports the luxury customer experience by allowing audiences to encounter the collaboration gradually, inspiring private consultation for potential buyers.
The chairs are subsequently presented at Milan Design Week and, at the end of the collaboration, installed as sculptural elements within Minotti and Bottega selected stores, reinforcing their positioning as collectible design.
