Minotti Bangalore’s new flagship store opens to a room filled with architects, designers and long-time patrons, drifting from one setting to the next. The event signals more than a retail expansion. Created in collaboration with Amber Home Interiors, it marks a considered step into the city’s evolving design landscape, bringing together Italian craft and a partner deeply embedded in the local design community.
Spread across two levels, totalling around 380 sq m, with a terrace dedicated to outdoor living, the store has been conceived by Minotti Studio as a sequence of connected domestic settings. The layout encourages you to move as you would at home, going from living to dining to bedroom, each space distinct yet visually aligned.
The first level is framed by a slatted wooden ceiling and grounded in warm, earthy tones. The Libra armchair by Giampiero Tagliaferri marks the entrance before the space opens into a generous living area anchored by the sculptural Bézier seating system by Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27, paired with Giampiero Tagliaferri’s Laurel armchairs. A dining setting centred around the Nico table transitions towards a master bedroom featuring the Yves bed, both by Hannes Peer. Between them, a steel and clay-coloured lacquered fireplace creates division without heaviness, its 1970s inflection adding character rather than nostalgia.
Upstairs, the atmosphere becomes lighter. A white plaster ceiling lifts the rooms, while wooden walls maintain continuity. Here, the Connery seating system by Rodolfo Dordoni and the Horizonte system by Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27 reflect the brand’s established design language. The experience concludes on the terrace, where the Quadrado seating system sits against mirrored panels, concrete-effect flooring and a green wall, reinforcing the dialogue between interior and exterior.
What stays with you is the pacing. Nothing feels crowded or overstated. Instead, the store offers Bengaluru a measured expression of Italian craft, one that settles comfortably into the city’s increasingly design-aware landscape. minottibangalore.com
