Ptolomeo is a minimalist bookcase consisting of thin shelves that appear "invisible" when filled with books.

The design gives the aesthetic appearance of a stack of books with the benefit of being a stable structure.

Bruno Rainaldi designed Ptolomeo for Opinion Ciatti as an ode to books and the people that love them.

Designer Raffaella Mangiarotti took aesthetic and ergonomic qualities from horse-riding saddles to create the Pepe stool for Opinion Ciatti.

The seat has a sculptural silhouette and hand-stitched leather upholstery that references the Wild West.
