2018 marks many reasons for Dedece to celebrate – it is the 40th year that Dedece has been in business, whilst Minotti is celebrating a truly impressive 70 years in business and 20 years that esteemed architect and furniture designer Rodolfo Dordoni has been Minotti’s art director.
Dedece was thrilled to celebrate the official opening of the new Minotti mono brand showroom to the Melbourne A & D community and clients on a particularly very cold winter’s night in late June.
The showroom has a few pieces from Minotti’s newest 2018 collection – flown in from Milan Salone 2018.
The cocktail party had over 100 guests in attendance including members of the Minotti family and creative director Rodolfo Dordoni (his first visit to Australia ), the Engelen family and of course the amazing Melbourne Dedece team.
The cocktail party was catered by Damm Fine Foods with alcohol provided by Melbourne institution Enoteca Sileno.

The Minottti and Engelen families celebrate the launch of the latest Minotti monobrand in Melbourne
Thanks to the long-standing partnership between the Minotti and Engelen families – the latter at the helm of Dedece for 40 years – Melbourne welcomes the new home of the Minotti monobrand.
Launched at the Russell Street address in 2006, the store now has an exciting new location in Dale Street, Cremorne – the “leading edge” design furniture destination precinct.
The Minotti “WE ARE FAMILY” cocktail party was a great chance to share a beautiful night with all the Minotti Ambassadors from around the globe, as well as to celebrate with the Minotti family together with Rodolfo Dordoni thier successful endeavours in creating a truly spectacular 2017 furniture and textiles collection
On April 18, Minotti celebrated its 70th anniversary at the Villa Reale di Monza.
Approx 700 guests ( incl dedece ) were honored to attend to help the Minotti Family celebrate their family milestone in grand style – a fun, prosecco fueled evening in the spirit of Milanese hospitality and the brand’s customary elegance
Castagna Ravelli Studio, founded in 1996, is formed by Paolo Castagna, a theater director, and Gianni Ravelli, an architect, set designer and professor of Architecture at the Milan Polytechnic.
