BETWEEN NATURE

DE CASTELLI

2022

The romantic idea of an organic, vitalistic, and dialectical nature is the concept behind Between Nature. We envision nature as an organized system where parts function in service of the whole; nature as a structured and dynamic reality manifested in artifacts. The coffee tables, which feature monolithic marble bases from the IPOGEO® collection by Margraf Innovation Lab, are adorned with metal trays of various shapes that appear to float on the marble surfaces. Between Nature celebrates the collaboration between De Castelli and Margraf.

Dialogue is the foundation of our practice, for both art direction and product design. It allows us to engage with cultural narratives and audience perceptions, crafting visuals that resonate deeply. In product design, dialogue means anticipating user needs, ensuring seamless integration into daily life. When these disciplines intersect, aesthetics and functionality merge, creating meaningful and user-centric designs. Concept is essential to our approach, guiding observation, abstraction, and relation. The balance between presence and absence defines simplicity and elegance, ensuring that every element serves a purpose.

Meaning emerges through thoughtful material choices and user experience. This fusion transforms products into narratives, where form and interaction communicate deeper values. Finally, awareness drives our work, ensuring cultural and environmental responsibility. Art direction considers social impact, while product design focuses on sustainability. Together, they create ethical, aesthetically compelling designs that align with contemporary values.
