Opinion Ciatti - Foliae 29 gold wall lamp

Many stainless steel leaves welded together to form a spectacular wall lamp, just like many leaves in a tree form its thick foliage. The Foliae collection designed by Roberto Mora is inspired by the plant universe, the innate capacity of the leaves to unite, creating volumes.

Vibrating light effects characterise these appliqués, essential and elegant at the same time, perfect for illuminating gracefully and lightly corridors and entrances, in residential but also in professional spaces.

Available in two sizes and two metallic finishes (gold or silver) they adapt well to all types of environment in which they are placed.

Roberto Mora

Roberto Mora, born in Parma in 1964, defines himself as a self-taught designer. Painter and Graphic at the beginning, in the 90s he approached the world of Design where he discovered his passion for iron, from the most diverse forms and origins. He started with the creation of "unique pieces": objects and sculptures between function and dystrophies of the form. Unrefined shapes that tend to become lighter over the years. Lightness, transparency, reinterpretation and humor often characterise his most recent works. Mora likes to consider himself as an atypical designer, distant from the logic of large-scale production. He prefers small numbered productions to exhibit in international design events or in private Italian and foreign collections.

In 2004 he took part in the "Radical Design" exhibition curated by Gianni Pettena. The journey documents the evolution of design from the 60s to nowadays, where Roberto Mora is considered as a representative of the last generation of self-producing designers, along with a few other names including, among others, the Campana Brothers. In 2005 he was invited by Alessandro Mendini to be part of the international exhibition "Art of Italian Design”. Also, in 2010 Mendini chooses him for "Quali cose siamo", a project hosted for over a year by the Triennale di Milano. Always present in Milan, he has exhibited in Athens, Paris, Moscow and New York.

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.
