Ptolomeo® Wall Bookcase by Bruno Rainaldo

The Ptolomeo® Wall Bookcase by Bruno Rainaldi for Opinion Ciatti is a minimalist, wall-mounted shelving system that transforms book storage into a striking visual statement. Building on the award-winning design of the Original Ptolomeo, this version eliminates the base, allowing the steel column and cantilevered C-shaped shelves to mount directly to the wall. Once filled, the structure virtually disappears, giving the illusion of a vertical stack of floating books. This design not only saves floor space but also turns your book collection into a sculptural centerpiece.  

Available in three heights and finished in matte black or glossy white lacquer, the Ptolomeo Wall is endlessly modular, making it suitable for various spaces—from compact apartments to expansive lofts. Optional accessories, such as supports for large-format books and magnetic CD holders, enhance its versatility. Whether installed as a single column or in a series, the Ptolomeo Wall offers a bold yet unobtrusive solution for contemporary interiors.
