The Celato Storage is full of character. First of all, it doesn’t appear to be what it actually is. Named after the Italian word meaning "concealed," the Celato Storage hides its true nature through its deceptive design. The misaligned drawers actually look like wood panels simply protruding from the wall uniquely. These wood panels have even been treated in such a ways as to give it an aged look, fooling passersby that it has been in existence for a lot longer than it actually has.
Designed by De Castelli, the Celato Storage towering presence is very masculine, yet entirely chic. Perfect for both men and women, it would give a living space a loft-like feel. Available in copper, acid-etched iron and acid-etched brass, the drawers are made out of birch.
