Dimensions: module w 20 x d 5 x h 200 cm (max. 292 cm). Materials: stainless steel, copper, brass. Design by francesco forcellini. For highly personalized projects, it is also possible to modify the module limits and dimensions to suit specific architectural requirements. The dorico wall panel system was inspired by the well-defined fluting of classic greek columns, an architectural order characterised by an interplay of light and depth. This simple yet archetypal form is celebrated via metal sheets which become elegant wall coverings. Material and function are transposed to create a reference to memory, given shape in a concave modular element which, in its compositional flexibility, enriches shared and private spaces. De castelli “hard couture” faithful to its decision to reinstate the special role of metal in design and experimentation, de castelli infuses artisan ideas and workmanship into industrial processes, leading to entirely original results. The encounter with design inspires an approach to materials founded upon respect for their potential, be it hidden or obvious, which emerges slowly in a collection of pieces that, despite being part of a series, remain unique. Unique not only for the hand that has created them, but also for the singular cultural path that focuses on the aesthetic (and not just practical) value of the primordial material with which de castelli shapes living spaces. A bespoke approach each object, even in the repetition of form, is a creative act in and of itself, one that incorporates a heritage of constantly-evolving expertise and research. The equation that relegates ‘cold’ metals to the margins of furnishing projects is thus overturned, bringing iron, brass and copper, in their infinite variations and finishes, to the centre of an entirely renewed stage, allowing them to finally shine with their own light. Sustainability de castelli has always been committed to making the entire production cycle increasingly sustainable, aware that metal, the material with which its business identifies itself, is precious and must be treated with care, without waste.
