Celato, or concealed, hidden, secret. Different personalities: a menhir, a safe, a skyscraper: an object that reveals its function, touch by touch. Celato is a furniture item with drawers containing many inner, almost secret compartments that can be reached by pressing lightly on the front surface with the hand. The drawers in birch wood are arranged in an irregular composition and differ in height. The outer shell protecting the wooden interior is available in maistral copper, acid-etched iron, acid-etched brass and in all the metals that De Castelli uses in its productions.
