“Travel has always been a powerful metaphor: it represents the desire for discovery, the encounter with the unexpected, and the dialogue between past and future. This concept has inspired our latest collection—a journey of furnishings that intertwine elegance and experimentation, craftsmanship and technology. Each piece marks a step in this exploration, where design becomes an experience, and space transforms into a landscape to be lived and rediscovered.” – Paolo Castelli –

In 2025, Paolo Castelli added new pieces to his indoor collection that furthered the brand’s narrative trajectory. These pieces, which offer versatile solutions for different spaces, include the Scilla & Cariddi coffee tables, the Itaca chaise longue, and the Aliseo suspension lamp.

Scilla &Cariddi
A chic set of coffee tables called Scilla & Cariddi emphasizes the interplay of texture, material, and light. Like the Aliseo lamp, their metal structure is encased in a 3D brass mesh and has a stylish champagne finish. With its regular weave and variable thread densities, this unusual mesh gives the design depth and a golden sheen.

Inspired by the legendary creatures that faced Odysseus, these tables exhibit a harmony between flowing shapes and material strength. The appearance is improved by a hammered bronzed glass top, which produces an alluring play of transparency and reflections, making the piece tastefully sophisticated.

Itaca
Itaca is a compact chaise longue that epitomizes sculptural elegance—a veritable haven of comfort that skillfully combines leisure with tasteful minimalism. Its structure is supported by multi-density foam and elastic straps and is made of solid wood and poplar plywood, providing an ergonomic and enveloping experience. A hint of luminous sophistication and visual lightness is evoked by the round wooden bases, which are finished in satin champagne metal. The upholstery, which is intended for indoor environments, adds to the seat’s softness and creates a welcoming aesthetic that encourages peaceful moments.

Aliseo
Inspired by the wind, Aliseo is a suspension lamp with an elegant, ethereal personality. A 3D metal mesh lampshade in natural brass envelops the light source like a sheer veil, while its bronzed glass cylinder emits a warm glow. The regular weave and valuable golden threads enhance the exquisite three-dimensional effect of the intricate metal fabric, which is woven with different densities and spacing. Flexibility and rigidity work together to shape the lamp’s volume.
