De Castelli turnover jumps 28%: metal conquers foreign markets

For De Castelli, a small, refined company based in Crocetta del Montello (Treviso) and producing furniture and metal surfaces for design and architecture, an auspicious sign comes from the first quarter of 2026, in which turnover increased by 28% compared to the same period in 2025, after two years of stability (10.5 million in 2024 and 2025). The winning intuition of Albino Celato, CEO of De Castelli and its founder in 2003, has been to confront - and serve - the world of creativity and design, succeeding in highly appreciated research and aesthetic results: "At the centre of our work is the relationship with the authors: designers, architects and artists," he comments, "from these collaborations not only catalogue products take shape, but also unique pieces and small numbered editions, designed for a public of collectors. We want to continue to tell the story of De Castelli's uniqueness through a path that interweaves metal research and design culture'. Celato is heir to a long tradition of metal craftsmanship, which he has been able to transform into an effective tool for design: "Our business vision combines industrial organisation, a technological component and craftsmanship skills," he explains. "We continue to consolidate our presence in the world of furniture and surfaces by turning to dealers and professionals to develop customised projects.

De Castelli's exports reach 80%, with an even distribution between Europe and beyond; in addition to the Gallery in Milan, designed by Cino Zucchi, the company counts on Galleries in Seoul, Beijing and Shanghai. The spotlight is now on the Milanese capital: at the Salone del Mobile, De Castelli presents the new Dorica collection by Francesco Forcellini, consisting of a cabinet, a side table and a side table with fluted shapes inspired by Doric columns and a special finish on the metal cladding, shaded towards red; the Gallery in via Visconti di Modrone, on the other hand, is the venue for the exhibition La geometria del caos with 23 new works designed by Antonio Marras, made in different metals and with special processes carried out in the De Castelli workshops (until 31 May).
