Marea by Zanellato/Bortotto for De Castelli

Dezeen Showroom: Italian design studio Zanellato/Bortotto has created a collection of hand-finished metal cabinets, drawers and sideboards for De Castelli that have been oxidised to create a watercolour-style effect.

Named Marea, which translates as "the tide" in Italian, the cabinetry was designed to reflect a changing-skin effect that loosely references the shore and waves of water.

The collection has a metal construction

The collection was informed by the idea of metal as a living and changing material. This concept led the designers to use overlapping oxidations across metal to create an ombre watercolour effect.

The Marea collection has a rectangular square form and comprises a chest of drawers, two sideboards and a cabinet, all of which are available in three different colourways – a golden finish, an orange-brassy ombre and a sea blue.

"Like the tide leaves its mark, wave after wave, even here the hand of the craftsman has left its sign, oxidation after oxidation, creating a painterly effect that resembles water’s erosion of the material," said De Castelli.

Barista mobile bar by Adriano Design for De Castelli

Dezeen Showroom: designed by Adriano Design for Italian brand De Castelli, the Barista is a mobile liquor cabinet with a sculptural and hygienic copper shell.

Barista's exterior is made of copper rods of different diameters, lined up to give it a ribbed texture that highlights the beauty of the natural material.

The metal is left free of any protective treatment, which preserves its antibacterial properties and makes it well suited to housing drinks and food. This also means the copper remains a living material, so its appearance will change and patinate over time.

Barista opens along a central axis, revealing a stainless steel interior with a mirrored finish to reflect the colourful liquor bottles and cocktail glasses it holds.

The design harnesses copper's antibacterial properties

The compact mobile bar is part of the Copper at Home collection, which De Castelli has created in response to the way that the pandemic has re-orientated recreation towards the home.

"Being careful about the things we carry with us, adopting precise patterns of behaviour, more conscious routines and a different approach to leisure time – these are some of the habits that make up a 'new normal' and which have prompted entirely new design projects for interiors," said the brand.
