De Castelli - Marea 6 drawers DeMarea brass chest of drawers 190x45

The traces of time are drawn one on top of another, infused into the changing skin of the rigorous metal forms that define these cabinets and chests. Like the tide (marea in Italian) leaves its mark, wave after wave, even here the hand of the craftsman has left its sign, oxidation after oxidation, creating a painterly effect that resembles water’s erosion of the material. Somewhere between design object and work of art, each piece in the collection, composed of a chest of drawers, low credenza and cabinet, is unique thanks to an entirely hand-crafted finish that transforms the metal surface into a delicate watercolour.

Zanellato/Bortotto

Design studio established in 2015 by Giorgia Zanellato and Daniele Bortotto. After obtaing his master's degree in product design at ECAL, in Switzerland, Zanellato began collaborating with Fabrica, Benetton's Research Centre, and Bortotto with Swiss designer Adrien Rovero.

Their first collaboration resulted in the Acqua Alta collection, launched at the Salone Satellite event in Milan in 2013. The project was met with a great deal of interest and initiated a line of research that is still ongoing. Their work has been shown in several galleries and museums, such as MAXXI in Rome and Milan's Triennale Design Museum and Poldi Pezzoli Museum.The studio's work includes product design, limited editions for galleries, art direction and interior design projects.

The studio collaborates with Italian and international companies. Their work has been exhibited in various galleries and institutions such as MAXXI in Rome, the Triennale Design Museum, the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan, Somerset House and the Aram Gallery in London. In 2015 they were named by Elle Décor Italia as Young Talents of the Year, 2016 they received the NYXxDESIGN award for the American Interior Design magazine, as well as a Red Rot Design Award for their project "Stories for Cedit." In 2018 they received a Good Design Award for the Bix chair for B-line.

De Castelli

De Castelli has made metal its language and has managed over time to build a wide range of furnishing accessories, lighting points but above all metal upholstery. Creations that at first glance could be unrelated to each other, and that instead are brought together by the presence of metal, a noble and elegant material taking on the most varied forms. De Castelli was founded in 2003, but its foundation is based on the experience of four generations of ironworking masters. It overcomes the classical conception of metal, understood as a "cold" material and relegated to the margins of design, and begins to produce objects in series, but at the same time unique, as the result of a cultural path that is renewed each time in an unrepeatable way. The continuous rise of De Castelli is witnessed by the many partnerships that the Italian company has established with the most renowned brands on the international scene. This was the collaboration with Maserati at the 89th Geneva Motor show, for which De Castelli lined the interior panels of the Quattroporte SQ4 Granlusso. For De Castelli, metal plays a dual role. Furnishing, first of all, but at the same time interprets the architecture, the styles, the new trends.
