The Original Ptolomeo bookshelf is a truly inventive design. Both playful and practical, it is described as a mix between “magic, art and function” and has been awarded the world’s highest accolade for design – the Compasso d’Oro.

"Third century BC Pharaoh Ptolomeo I Soter gave the order to build the Royal Library of Alexandria in Egypt, the largest and richest library in the ancient world. Bruno loved books (designer Bruno Rainaldi) he believed that books were real nourishment for the soul, the best companions on this journey called life. This is why he wanted his bookcase, the only one that made books the absolute protagonists, to be a tribute to the one who was the first to take care of books (as far as history can remember)." - Opinion Ciatti

Bruno Rainaldi

Bruno Rainaldi was born in Milan in 1952. His training was hands-on, having started at a young age to work in design communication. In his early years in Milan he managed the first High-Tech emporium in Corso di Porta Ticinese, moving on to work first alongside Maddalena De Padova in the historical showroom in Corso Venezia and then with Enrico Baleri as partner in Baleri & Associati, where he was in charge of defining communication strategies for design companies and stores. His beginnings as an autodidact encouraged him in later life to ironically and anti-celebratively define himself as a “street designer” and his style as “chaotically rigorous”.

Amongst the numerous pieced designed there is the Ptolomeo bookshelf, for which, in 2004, he was awarded the Compasso d’Oro. In 2006, together with the very young Lapo Ciatti, who had just entered the family business, he founded Opinion Ciatti, of which Bruno Rainaldi was President, partner and art director.
