ILTAVOLO 2.0 TABLE
ILTAVOLO 2.0 TABLE
Design by Lapo Ciatti / 2022
A table that keeps up with the times, that is much more than an evolution, because it is the result of a process made up of listening, research, and study.
This project has been strongly desired by Lapo Ciatti and his team, who wanted to design a product that is adaptable, flexible, and 100% sustainable, offering a concrete response to new needs.
With essential lines like its predecessor ILtavolo, ILtavolo 2.0 stands out for being entirely made in aluminium, a feature that makes it not only lightweight and suitable for indoor and outdoor use, but above all fully recyclable. Opinion Ciatti’s increasing attention to sustainability is also reflected in the choice of the finishes.
Alongside the classic white, the sophisticated gold leaf, and the new gold and silver metallic paints, ILtavolo 2.0 also comes in a new special cocciopesto effect, a coating that is a tribute to the colours of Tuscany’s landscapes and, on the other hand, an expression of research and innovation.
Known since the time of the Phoenicians and improved by the Romans – who used it as a waterproofing material – the traditional cocciopesto mix is made up of fragments of tiles and bricks combined with lime-based mortar, and is still widely used today as a coating both for indoor and outdoor floors and walls in damp environments.
In its 2.0 version, used for the new table by Opinion Ciatti, cocciopesto becomes a special ecological microbiotic-based mortar. The mixture – composed of noble polymers, quartz sands, and calcium carbonate – is enriched with microorganisms, widely used in organic farming for their antioxidant properties, which improve compactness and resistance to impacts and abrasions.
The resulting material – in red, white and, 2023 novelty, grey pigmentations – is fireproof, waterproof and free of resins, lime, plaster, and cement. The processing is water-based and without the use of chemical solvents, so it allows the complete reuse or recycling of all its components.
Eco-friendly and with a minimalist design, ILtavolo 2.0 stands out also for its functionality. A measure of this is the optional set of wheels that can be applied to two of the four legs, making it easily movable within the environment.
DESIGNER
LAPO CIATTI
Born in Florence in 1980, Lapo Ciatti studied Industrial Design first at IED and then at the Domus Academy in Milan, before starting to work in one of the most prestigious architecture studios with offices in Florence, Milan and London.
Determined to set up his own business before entering the family firm, he trained abroad, an experience that allowed him to shape a polyhedric vision, open to contamination and a clear ability to grasp future trends.
Having returned to Italy in 2006, Lapo Ciatti enters the family business. After years of silently observing his mother’s entrepreneurial skills, his studies and work in the field where he had come into contact with an international scenario he blends, full of youthful energy, into the group as though he had been born in it.
What he establishes with Bruno Rainaldi is an entrepreneurial, artistic and personal pact that will strongly influence his early works. In 2008, they found Opinion Ciatti, a company that brings together, merging them into a single and unique reality, the family business’s three different “souls”: CCR, Ciatti a Tavola and Facebox.
Opinion Ciatti becomes their (shared) expression of a specific understanding of the world of design as a field for experimentation, a laboratory of shapes. In 2009, the 5blocks container system he designs is chosen for the ADI Design Index.
He has been CEO and Art Director of Opinion Ciatti since 2011.Deeply bound to his native Tuscany, he has turned his love for his land into a privileged source of inspiration for the productions by Opinion Ciatti.
These are the origins of the collections #FollowYourRoots, a trip in time searching for one’s roots to give meaning to what we are and what we breathe today.
The unification of past and present, the hashtag of communication 2.0, facing the roots to be discovered, the fil rouge that joins the suggestions for living in the third millennium.
Curious, thoughtful, careful, attentive to the slightest detail, in his most recent years his attention has turned towards the search for innovative luxury contract solutions.In 2015, with Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman he designed the common areas and the Suite of OFF Paris Seine, the first floating hotel on the Seine.
In 2018 he is part of the team working on the interiors of Ducasse sur Seine, the first restaurant of the multi-awarded French chef, situated on the first 100% electric cruise boat.
