During Milan Design Week 2017 De Castelli will present Tracing Identity – a project that involves seven female designers, who all differ in age, origins and approach, but who have created a collection of metal furniture characterized by a strong emotional allure.
The designers involved are: Alessandra Baldereschi, Nathalie Dewez, Constance Guisset, Francesca Lanzavecchia, Donata Paruccini, Elena Salmistraro, Nika Zupanc.
De Castelli invited this group of female designers to show off their strong interpretation and intimate vision for creating a special collection of interior elements. The goal was to dispel the myth that metal is cold, uncommunicative and strictly linked to male nature. Each piece has a precise use and a strong volumetric presence.
Screens, cabinets, tables and bookcases clearly show the handcrafting skills of De Castelli, becoming also the opportunity for trying new finishes and types of manufacturing. The seven designers worked enthusiastically at De Castelli production site, together with skilled workers and innovative technologies.
De Castelli is well-known all over the world for melting design and metal manufacturing, handcrafting skills and advanced technologies. In addition to furniture production, the company has expanded its projects by looking at important collaborations with well-known architects, becoming a partner for many design companies thanks to its on-going research of new solutions and uses for metals.
