1984
A new idea, a new hunch.
Thanks to her innovative vision, Flavia Ciatti together with
Gianni Pareschi, her precious Art Director, presents
Ciatti a Tavola at the Milan Furniture Fair. This collection
confidently brought concepts and materials into homes - steel
above all - that up until then were used exclusively for public
and industrial spaces.
Free-standing kitchen units, which could be combined and
allocated according to the use and furnishing accessories that
blend functionality and extreme practicality.
2006
New challenges, new opinions.
The third generation joins the company. Lapo Ciatti joins
the family business bringing his entrepreneurial spirit and a
background in Industrial Design. His entry injects a burst of
new energy and vitality, the collaboration with Bruno Rainaldi
gets stronger and soon Lapo feels that the company needs
a new identity. Opinion Ciatti replaces CCR: Lapo Ciatti
becomes the CEO, Bruno Rainaldi the Art Director.
2003-2004
When casual meetings become
enduring bonds.
When strict form meets the most unconventional
experimentation: the Ciatti family meets Bruno Rainaldi.
Together 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.
2011-2013
Firm foundations, new horizons.
Bruno Rainaldi leaves his cultural and expressive heritage
to Lapo Ciatti, who leads both the management and the
artistic side of the business.
In 2013, Lapo Ciatti presents his first solo collection.
Once again Opinion Ciatti anticipates the market trends and
starts offering customization, proposing a wide range of colors
to personalize its portfolio.

#FollowYourRoots + OC bespoke
The homeland, Florence and Tuscany, and one of the prime
periods of its history: the Middle Ages. Roots that become the
main source of inspiration for the #FollowYourRoots collections.
Visions and inspirations from a past that becomes
contemporary and that turns symbols of bygone times into
objects and accessories that are suitable to life in the third
millennium. Tailor-made design solutions and the highest
craftsmanship for unique pieces are now ones of the main
features of the company.
The OC bespoke project starts as a division addressing the
corporate world, turning imagination into tangible products.
2018
The journey continues...
The collection presented by Opinion Ciatti at the Salone del
Mobile beckons to the world of art, a return to its early years and
at the same time facing the most innovative challenges. Among
the novelties there is Ptolomeo Vino. Conceived on the drafts
left by Bruno Rainaldi, it is the transformation of the famous
Original Ptolomeo bookshelf into a scenographic wine rack.
In September the multi-awarded French chef Alain Ducasse
opens in Paris his new floating restaurant Ducasse sur Seine.
Opinion Ciatti is part of the project, working on the interiors in
partnership with Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman.
Opinion Ciatti is a young and close-knit group always ready to
face new challenges. Products and materials, residential and
contract projects, trades and partnerships: with passion, care
and work there is nothing that Opinion Ciatti can’t deal with.
This is just the beginning. Our journey continues…
2016-2017
Feet on the ground, head in the sky.
In 2016 Opinion Ciatti pays homage to its homeland,
highlighting their unbreakable bond.
During the Salone del Mobile, Opinion Ciatti presents its first
carpet collection, conceived thanks to the perspectives that
some of the most important Florentine buildings can give.
In June Opinion Ciatti sets another milestone:
OFF Paris Seine opens in Paris, the city’s first floating hotel
and the first hospitality project by Opinion Ciatti.
At the Salone del Mobile 2017 in Milan, new projects find their
space together with limited editions that are extensions of
existing ranges and special items; for a concept of living that
embraces the whole house and beyond.
More than 300 finishes and materials available, a fusion of
tradition, industrial processes and handcraftsmanship, coupled
with a wide choice of product varieties.
