anonima castelli was established in 1877 by ettore castelli as a cabinetry workshop.
following a gradual change over the years, between the 1960s and 1980s the company started one of the most enterprising and innovative projects in the world, working together with leading figures of italian and international design:

emilio ambasz, rodolfo bonetto, nilo gioacchini, giancarlo piretti , charles pollock, f.a. porsche, richard sapper, claudio bellini, michele de lucchi, doriana and massimiliano fuksas, gino gamberini, enzo mari and mario ruiz. the company's products soon became iconic and were chosen to furnish important presidential offices of banks and large industries.
