In its creative exploration of industrial processes, Italian furniture manufacturer DeCastelli transforms brass, copper, stainless steel and other metals and alloys into eye-catching cabinets, cocktail tables, chairs and even decorative vases, bringing out the design potential of each raw material with its decades of expertise.
Adhering to what the brand calls "hard couture," DeCastelli positions metalworking as an art form. The brand, with four generations of ironworkers at its core, was established in 2003. DeCastelli works with designers and studios such as Marco Pisati, Emilio Nanni and IvDesign to create wondrously sculptural pieces that are at once imposing in their rawness and delicate in what is often an ode to natural forms. The tall metal storage cabinets of the Ripple collection, for example, feature concave doors that mirror the surface of a lake or a river while the spiraling etchings that adorn the iron and copper surfaces of the Syro coffee tables, with their tree branch-like supports, similarly evoke the movement of water.
Every piece of the company's furniture is made at the DeCastelli headquarters in the northern Italian commune of Crocetta del Montello, where metal and its potential ties all of the designs together — even upholstered pieces like sofas and ottomans feature brass bases and sophisticated brushed stainless steel embellishments.
DeCastelli has found great success in recent years partly due to collaborations with well-known brands and designers. At the Geneva International Motor Show in 2019, the company partnered with Maserati to fashion sheet metal into the shape of the Quattroporte Maserati dashboard. In 2021, DeCastelli collaborated with Adriano Design on a mobile copper liquor cabinet called the Barista. A few months later, it unveiled a collection of storage pieces called Marea with design studio Zanellato/Bortotto.
DeCastelli has also recently opened a new showroom in the historic city center of Milan. The space was designed by Cino Zucchi Architetti, a leading European design studio, to showcase the company's furniture and metalworking expertise.
