Opinion Ciatti - Yum Yum 143 small sofa

Alone or with others, outside or inside the house, a pouf or an armchair?

The Yum Yum seating collection has an answer for all this and even more. It is a sum of opposites, and as such, utterly charming.

Yum Yum is a pouf with a backrest, precisely a soft padded pouf with a strong wooden backrest. But it is also a comfortable armchair highly conducive to total relaxation, with a padded seat that looks very much like a pouf. In Yum Yum, a warm, plump seat meets a Nordic and minimalist backrest.

Whether as a single armchair, two-seater sofa or extra-large armchair with a 20 cm larger seat (from the 66 cm of the single armchair to the 86 cm of the extra-large version) it ensures moments of pure relaxation or can become a comfortable space from which to check your email, go over a project, or make that special telephone call.

Thanks to the practical side pocket and the removable fabric upholstery for easy cleaning, it is ideal in contract environments – waiting rooms, professional offices, hotel lounges, restaurants, or boutiques – as well as in private homes. Wherever it is, Yum Yum can transform any room, including the smallest and most conventional one, into a place to share with others or where to spend some quiet time alone with your thoughts.

A versatile piece (widely customizable in fabrics and colours) that adds to the décor without overpowering it, Yum Yum enhances the perception of spaces by making them special and memorable, but also performs its primary function in the best possible way: that of guaranteeing a comfortable moment of relaxation.

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.
