Both playful and practical, it is described as a mix between “magic, art and function” and has been awarded the world’s highest accolade for design – the Compasso d’Oro. Here, Design Daily’s David Harrison explores the story of the Ptolomeo and its maverick designer Bruno Rainaldi, while More Space catches up with its Florence-based brand Opinion Ciatti to discuss the making of a design icon.
