Ptolomeo Vino Wall from Opinion Ciatti

Ptolomeo Vino is the bottle holder version of Original Ptolomeo, the famous free-standing bookshelves designed by Bruno Rainaldi, winner of the Compasso d’Oro 2004 and soon became an icon of contemporary design.

A glass of our favourite wine and that book that we are engrossed in. Very often our moments of greatest relax are imagined in the company of a good book and an excellent glass of wine. Launched at the 2018 Salone del Mobile, Ptolomeo Vino becomes the “summa” of this suggestive idea, representing the transformation of the famous Original Ptolomeo bookshelf into a scenographic bottle holder.

In Ptolomeo Vino the container once again stands aside allowing the limelight to go to its content. The wine bottles are the main protagonists, appearing to float in the air, their labels becoming a strongly decorative feature.

Conceived on the drafts left by Bruno Rainaldi, Ptolomeo Vino is a metal column connected to a system of ledges that can contain a great variety of different wine bottles. The supports have been designed to be as imperceptible as possible, to give the beholder the idea that the bottles are “suspended”.

Slim, elegant and essential, it is the perfect solution for both domestic environments and the contract world, including hotels, restaurants, wineries, wine shops and wherever wine is more than just a passion. 

Also available in a free-standing version, Ptolomeo Vino Wall can be made in three different sizes and four different finishes, from pure white to shiny stainless steel, from the traditional black to an antique Corten effect.
