De Castelli - Tristan decorative vase

Metal is unabashedly confirmed in these large, sinuous sculptures. Complementary forms are emphasized by unique hues and the precious gold leaf applied to their surfaces. In an interplay of positive and negative space, the two figures stand out in anthropomorphic shapes defined by light and shadow, where the finish emphasizes far-away inspirations and evokes the ancient arts of past eras.

R&D De Castelli

Loyal to the choice of giving metal a privileged role in design experimentation, De Castelli grafted the matrix of artisan thought and practice into typically industrial processes giving birth to completely new results. The encounter with design calls for an approach to material based on respect for its possibilities, even the most hidden ones, which gradually emerge in a collection of serial and at the same time unique products. Not only because the hand that creates them is unique, but also because the cultural path that focuses on the aesthetic, as well as functional value of the raw material with which De Castelli shapes the living space is also unique.

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.
