Like the hard metal sheets that identify the armour of a samurai, the scales on the skin of this piece define its appearance. Yoroi has a dynamic shape, taking on the evocative strength of Art Deco furnishings, plays with the essentialism of an ellipse and modular repetition, balanced between minimalism and marvel.

With a natural oak frame covered in De Castelli metals, this secretaire opens unexpectedly: it conceals a roomy drawer, two more, while the sides contain curved doors.

BRAND HIGHLIGHT

Contemporary design is fundamental to De Castelli, and the company has created its own collections of furniture and products in collaboration with some of the world’s leading designers. Bookcases, storage units, tables, chairs and lighting are shaped in hammered brass, mottled copper, weathered steel and délabré brass. Working closely with architects and designers on bespoke commissions, as well as offering finishes and furniture for domestic use to consumers, De Castelli’s stated aim is to “bend metal to the requirements of different spaces and uses, to shape it to the tastes and desires of a sophisticated and demanding clientele”.
