Minotti Hamilton Two-seater, Leather Brown

Minotti Hamilton – sofa with a surrounding metal base

Rodolfo Dordoni was art director at Minotti from 1998 to 2023 and designed the Hamilton in 2004. Today Minotti speaks of a worldwide success. The structure is made of solid wood, padded with high-resilience polyurethane foam of varying densities. Elastic straps with a high rubber content give the seat its spring. The cushions have a polyurethane core surrounded by chambered goose down. A metal base with an oval profile runs beneath the sofa. It is black nickel-plated or lacquered in bronze.

Hamilton two-seater in brown leather – floor model

This Hamilton is a two-seater with a brown leather cover. It was on display in a showroom and was never used in a home. The sofa is straight and built in one piece. The warm brown and the low shape go well with wood, wool and linen. It suits a living room or a study, and also works opposite a larger sofa.

Seating comfort and space

Despite the leather cover, the Hamilton gives you a soft seat, because the leather cushions are filled with down too. The straps and foam core provide support. The seat height is around 40 cm, slightly below the usual 42 to 45 cm. The sofa is 1.04 m deep and offers plenty of room to lean back. It needs around 2.1 m along the wall. Allow around 60 to 80 cm of walking space in front of it.

Elements and additions

Minotti offers the 208 cm wide two-seater as a ready-made sofa in the Hamilton line. There are also sofas from 180 to 314 cm, as well as elements for corner combinations, chaise longues and a bench. Down-filled scatter cushions and a headrest let you adjust the comfort. The Hamilton is still in the range and can be added to through Minotti retailers.

Caring for the leather cover

The Hamilton’s leather cover is fixed and cannot be removed. You therefore care for it directly on the sofa. Remove dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Dab stains straight away with a slightly damp cloth. Once or twice a year, treat the leather with a suitable care product. Direct sunlight and nearby radiators dry leather out.

Why a Minotti Hamilton floor model?

Minotti is based in Meda and has been family-owned since 1948, now in its third generation. In 2022, the brand was registered in Italy as a historic brand of national interest. This Hamilton was a floor model and was never used in a home. Beneath the leather are solid wood, elastic straps and down cushions. This piece has been inspected in eight stations.
