"The
book called Decameron, known as Prencipe Galeotto (Prince Galehaut), begins,
containing a hundred stories in ten days, spoken by seven women and three young
men."
Thus begins
the Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio and from the name of Principe Galeotto the
designer Lapo Ciatti takes inspiration for the creation of the homonymous sideboard and cupboard, which is a
clear tribute to the Middle Ages, a time made of kings and princes,
coats of arms, treasure chests and armours.
The
sophisticated design of those MDF cabinets with contemporary lines are
embellished with exquisitely medieval details, such as studs, handles, locks
and keys, available in chrome or 24 K gold versions.
In the
sideboard version of Principe Galeotto, 136 studs decorate the sides and the four
doors, whereas the interior is already divided into two separate compartments
and further divided by a crystal shelf.
On Principe
Galeotto’s cupboard there are 174 studs, and for the interior is possible to
choose the version with just shelves or another one with a coat hanger
compartment and a crystal shelving unit.
Principe
Galeotto is sophisticated even in the finishes, classic and timeless, black and
white or with textural effects such as cement or bronze.
Containers
that fit perfectly into the living, entrances or bedrooms of residential,
professional and traditional contexts, but also in environments characterised
by the utmost minimalism.
Part of the
first collection #FollowYourRoots, Prince Galeotto is a set of quotes, places
and times that like a déjà vu turn into furnishing the home of the third
millennium.
