Minotti opens the new flagship store in Riyadh

Minotti strengthens its presence in the Middle East with the opening of the new flagship store in Riyadh, in the heart of the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), in collaboration with its long-standing partner Gallery Design, bringing the brand's lifestyle to one of the most dynamic urban areas of the Saudi capital.

The result of Minotti Studio's vision, the showroom spans approximately 620 sqm inside a deconstructivist-inspired building, with three glass façades that reveal an immersive design path.

The interior concept draws inspiration from the arch, reinterpreted in a contemporary key, combining white travertine, plaster, Wengé oak, and limestone, while two open-air areas - on the ground floor and the mezzanine - integrate the outdoors into the centre of the showroom and create a harmonious dialogue between interior and exterior, evoking the tradition of both the Roman domus and the Arab house.

The entrance and reception lead to the first double-height living area, furnished with the Yves seating system by Hannes Peer. The exhibition flow continues through the Horizonte and Bézier sofas by Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27, separated by a travertine fireplace, the sculptural focal point of the space.

A semi-spiral staircase then takes visitors to the mezzanine, where meeting rooms and the master bedroom - with the Supermoon Bed by Giampiero Tagliaferri - offer multiple perspectives, for an engaging experience.

Works by Nisreen & Nermeen Abudail, Muhannad Shono, Nasser Al Salem, and Helidon Xhixha amplify the dialogue between architecture, design, and art. One of these, Xhixha's sculpture 'The Moon' nestles organically within the staircase arch, reflecting the light and transforming into a suspended, celestial form, evocative and ever-changing.

The Minotti Riyadh flagship store thus positions itself as a new cosmopolitan destination for the brand, where Made in Italy meets the spirit of the location, creating a truly sensory and cultural journey through design.
