Albino Celato, founder and driving force behind De Castelli’s creative vision, has transformed metal into a true design language, exploring the boundaries between decoration, design, and applied art. Going beyond convention, he conceives each object as a decorative element with an almost artistic character. His collections reinterpret metal and steel in surprising forms—vibrant with meaning and deeply contemporary.
Designer Albino Celato was born in 1960 in Montebelluna, in the province of Treviso. Growing up within the family business, he developed an in-depth knowledge of metal from an early age. To his artisanal expertise he added cutting-edge production technologies, giving shape to complex and unexpected solutions. His journey has been fueled by an ongoing dialogue with international designers and architects—a fertile exchange that pushes the material beyond the limits of traditional industrial craftsmanship.
