Minotti’s new collection brings together designers from different cultures and design traditions—Giampiero Tagliaferri, Studio MK27 / Marcio Kogan, Hannes Peer, GamFratesi, and Nendo. Their pieces balance nostalgia with innovation, weaving together references to mid-century and 1970s design with a distinctly contemporary understanding of comfort, materiality, and ergonomics. The result is an aesthetic anchored in heritage yet unafraid to move forward, drawing freely from history while transforming it into something unmistakably modern.

This spirit of freedom and reverence, of looking back with knowledge while pushing ahead with imagination, also guides The Selects Gallery’s photography curation. Our selection for Minotti includes works by French, British, and American artists whose images evoke a vintage sensibility while remaining undeniably current. They reflect a deep understanding of the movements, styles, and cultural icons that shaped past decades, yet each photograph carries a contemporary immediacy, making the dialogue between eras feel fluid and multidimensional.

At the center of the installation stands Norman Parkinson’s celebrated photograph The Perfectionists, published in Vogue in 1974, depicting Yves Saint Laurent and Loulou de la Falaise in the designer’s Paris garden, amidst François-Xavier Lalanne’s iconic sheep sculptures. Steeped in couture spirit and the elegance of the 1970s, this image embodies the timeless glamour and bold creativity that define the period. Its vivid colors and crisp energy bridge the past and present, resonating naturally with Minotti’s approach of transforming historical references into something richly alive for today.
