The new Minotti Manila showroom in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig transcends time with pieces from different brands’ various eras.
On display are Minotti’s latest collections, which comprise the Italian luxury furniture brand’s ever-growing lineup of timeless designs for indoor and outdoor use.
“We wanted a space that people could imagine living in as their own,” Living Innovations general manager Ferdinand Ong said.
From Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27’s Brazilian modernism and Nendo’s Japanese tradition to the Scandinavian philosophy of Italian-Danish duo GamFratesi, Hannes Peer’s eclectic design language, and Giampiero Tagliaferri’s unique fusion of Milanese and Californian aesthetics, Minotti’s 2024 Collection presents a harmonious dialogue between form and function.

“Our first showroom was only 67 sqm on the 2nd floor of the Makati Shangri-La Retail Arcade,” Ong recalls. Minotti has come a long way since then.
Opened in 2014, the 300-plus sqm store in Bonifacio Global City introduced the brand’s “Made in Italy” ethos and commitment to quality craftsmanship to a wider Filipino audience.
Minotti’s timeless designs are proven capable of crafting environments that inspire interaction, storytelling and shared experiences. Ong said, “Our products last for a very long time, keeping their shape due to the superior quality in construction and the materials used.”
Among its new offerings is the Yves sofa which offers a variety of options to suit the spacious living rooms Filipinos love. Meanwhile, the Supermoon sofa, with its organic shape, is a striking piece that could fit comfortably in smaller rooms while still offering the desired modern aesthetic. The Nico table complements both.
“We, together with the brand, have meticulously planned the space to assist the clients to better imagine their homes. We have a team of interior designers and architects who can create a space with or for you, depending on the level of engagement you prefer,” Ong said.
Living Innovations also works with the client’s present designer, which can help finalize the client’s preferred configuration, fabrics, finishes and sizes.
Minotti Manila is located at GF Units 106 And 107, Fort Victoria 5th Ave, Corner Rizal Dr., Fort Bonifacio, Global City, Taguig.
