Brand: Opinion CiattiModel: Ptolomeo 215Collection: Original PtolomeoDesign by: Bruno RainaldiOriginal Ptolomeo is the iconic self-standing bookcase that transforms a simple stack of books into a sculptural vertical element. Essential, revolutionary and innovative, it eliminates the superfluous to highlight what truly matters: the books.The structure consists of a slender steel column with thin shelves that gradually disappear as they fill with volumes. When fully loaded, the bookcase becomes almost imperceptible, creating the illusion of books rising in perfect balance.Winner of the Compasso d'Oro 2004, Ptolomeo is both functional furniture and conceptual statement-an homage to books and to Ptolemy I Soter, founder of the Royal Library of Alexandria. Each piece features the designer's engraved signature on the base.The Ptolomeo 215 version enhances the vertical presence of the design, making it architectural and impactful in living areas, offices, libraries or contract environments. Slim and minimal, it offers generous storage capacity while maintaining a compact footprint.Capacity:Approx. 95 booksMaterial:SteelFinish:Column and shelves: Matte corten-effect lacquerBase: Matte corten-effect lacquerThe matte corten finish introduces a warm, industrial character and adds material depth while preserving the essential geometry and minimalist identity of the design.Dimensions:W 35 × D 35 × H 215 cmW 13.8 × D 13.8 × H 84.6 in
