small gardens of DeCastelli
December 16, 2009 
Dream landscapes do not have to be necessarily…big. The same could be said about the doses of inspiration that somebody may need in his everyday life in order to make it less boring. De Castelli proves with its imaginative iron, Cor-Ten and stainless steel creations that a green microcosm has a dose of healing effects: it breaks the every day routine, it questions the established limits, it reminds us of our endless possibilities. De Castelli was founded in 2003 and its trademark is the mix of the sophisticated crafting skills inherited from a centuries-old crafting tradition with the innovation made possible by today’s most cutting-edge technology.

There is always a precious and meticulous handcrafting process that characterizes production details and the overall quality of the De Castelli creations, making them a mix of design, art and craftsmanship. Vases and sculptures whose design is reminiscent of everyday objects (bottles, flower pots, kitchen cabinets), familiar forms that change scale and rely on unusual materials to acquire a new aesthetic meaning, generating an unexpected visual and emotional impact, becoming a significant material presence within the space where they are located. It comes of no surprise then that its owner, Albino Celato is the heir to a family that has worked with iron for over three generations.
