«Our creativity stems from the observation and understanding of the world we live in and the awareness of our roots. We add to it our vision of the future, with a vivid memory of the expertise of our traditions: that’s how we bring our products to life. That’s how we shape our values» – Lapo Ciatti
Creativity, identity, originality,
pragmatism, sustainability are more than abstract concepts. They
are our values, the ones that inspire us and our work every day. They have neat
outlines and colours, they are real and consistent. They have a shape, the
shape of our furnishing pieces, through which we aim to spread beauty and to
take care of people.
Each new product is the result of a curious and keen
research, a passionate study and a careful design.
A mix of uniqueness and talent,
where tradition blends with innovation, craftsmanship and technology. And it’s
always a huge emotion to see them being shaped into real pieces of furniture.
With “The shape of values” – the new
video project that we present to you today – we wish to share with you the magic of the
exact moment when our designs come to life and “our values turn into shapes”.
Episode by episode, we will take you
on a journey to discover some of our most interesting working processes. We
will open the doors of the laboratories of our craftsmen to show you how
timeless gestures are able to create the objects that we use every day.
It will be a journey in stages that
will last throughout 2022. Strongly wanted by Opinion Ciatti’s CEO and Art
Director, Lapo Ciatti, this project is able to convey the core of the corporate
know-how: a fusion of advanced industrial procedures and the old traditional
expertise, that is still preserved and handed down by the generations of local
artisans.
Therefore, this extraordinary story couldn’t but start by the most fascinating of our finishings: the gold leaf.
An extraordinary story that couldn’t but start by two manufacturing Tuscan excellencies: the working processes of the gold leaf and leather.
In “The gold leaf”, the first episode of our video series, the “shape of our values” looks like a gold, thin veil that, with its fragility and lightness, can change anything.
In the second, “A leather story”, the protagonist is leather, modelled by expert hands, with both traditional and modern gestures that turn it into soft shapes.
A suggestive journey that we wish to share with you.
