Opinion Ciatti - La Gabbia black container with black nickel studs

La Gabbia, the container by Lapo Ciatti, made of metal and aluminum and embellished with 24 shiny studs is a sculptural element with great scenic impact. Part of  #FollowYourRoots 2015 is a complement with a strong character and symbolic meanings that recall the Middle Ages to which the entire collection is inspired.
Equipped with four shelves The Cage is a very convenient object holder. Perfect as a bookcase, it allows many uses thanks to the freedom of arrangement of each object inside. Its particular shape brings out what it contains and its sophisticated design integrates perfectly into every room of the house, both in the sleeping area and on that day. Available in three different finishes (black painted with black nickel studs, corten with gold studs and stainless steel with chrome studs) can be adapted to the most varied classical or contemporary contexts, always managing to generate an environment of the past sophisticated and unique in its style.

Lapo Ciatti

Determined to embark on an entrepreneurial path, before entering the family business he forms abroad, experience that will allow him to develop a multifaceted vision and open to contamination and a strong ability to grasp future trends.

Since 2011 he is CEO and Art Director of Opinion Ciatti. Deeply linked to his native Tuscany, he transformed this love for his land into a source of privileged inspiration for the productions of Opinion Ciatti. This is how the #FollowYourRoots collections were born, a journey through time in search of their roots to give meaning to what we are and breathe today. The union between present and past, the hashtag of communication 2.0, before those roots, to rediscover, fil rouge that unites proposals for living in the third millennium.

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.
