Opinion Ciatti - Koji small table

Sparkling, dynamic, contemporary: Koji, the new coffee table with a thousand uses by Opinion Ciatti is exactly so, a concentrate of vitality like the ingredient, enfant terrible of contemporary cuisine, of which it bears the name.

For centuries a mainstay of traditional Asian cuisine – Japanese cuisine in particular, so much so as to be part of the national heritage – Koji is a special mould that is revolutionizing culinary traditions all over the world, adding to dishes that savoury and tasty umami flavour that we love so much.

Lapo Ciatti’s Koji, on its side, is ready to spice up environments and provide a space where to put down stimulating ideas and sparks of inspiration at any time.

Flexibility and versatility are indeed the main characteristics of the Koji coffee table. Adjustable in height by means of a practical ring nut, this sleek table has two small castors concealed in the base that make it easy to move around the room and experiment at will a variety of arrangements. Next to a sofa as a tabletop or used as a laptop stand, at home but also in contract environments for an impromptu workstation, or as a standing desk to encourage correct posture.

With its steel structure and MDF top, Koji can be lacquered in black, brick red, or metallic gold. Answering the call of sustainability, it also comes in a version with an environmentally-friendly top produced from recycled fiberglass and its components. A totally green panel because it is 100% recycled, as well as recyclable at the end of its life.

Koji, a table that meets the needs of modern living and which, as in haute cuisine, adds an innovative ingredient to domestic and contract spaces.

Opinion Ciatti

Opinion Ciatti is a company founded in 1950 in Florence that produces accessories and design furnishing including bookcases, tables and chairs; for the home, work and common spaces. A wide range of concrete and very identifiable objects, able with their presence, their touch, to characterise an atmosphere, personalise an environment. It all begins with an intuition of Rolando Ciatti. As a curious and attentive observer of a world that is changing so fast around him, he understands that a place in the house must be found for that strange, new object – the television - which was about to shake the Italians habit. That’s how Ciatti was founded, in Borgo San Frediano, in Florence Oltrarno, as the first company in Italy to produce TV benches. In 2003  the Ciatti family meets Bruno Rainaldi. Along they found CCR design, a new company focused on the development of home objects and accessories. Under the art direction of Mr Rainaldi, important names in Italian design start creating storage objects, chairs, mirrors, all characterized by a strong and bold personality. In 2004, Original Ptolomeo, the free-standing bookshelf by Bruno Rainaldi, wins the Compasso d’Oro award. Basic but revolutionary, new and with a great impact, as sudden as an intuition; Ptolomeo soon becomes the company’s best-selling item and an icon of contemporary design.
