Antica Chiesa di San Celso
Corso Italia 37, Milan
Curated by Teo Sandigliano, “Fatto Bene” explores the beauty of good design by bringing the focus back to objects — their physical presence and the inherent quality of their materials. Presented at the Antica Chiesa di San Celso on Corso Italia 37 in Milan, the exhibition brings together a curated selection of products by different designers, celebrating design through authentic, fully realized objects rather than prototypes.
“Fatto Bene” explores both the conceptual and the physical dimensions of design, shifting the focus beyond functionality to the cultural, aesthetic, and emotional value that objects can embody.
Among the works on display is Sculpt, the sideboard designed by Francesco Forcellini in collaboration with De Castelli. Conceived at the intersection of aesthetics and function, Sculpt reflects a vision of design as the process of transforming an idea into a tangible object — one that transcends pure utility to become an expression of research, materiality, and meaning.

In a poetic and emotionally resonant dialogue with Jocelyn Yang and Tiffany Liao, De Castelli explores the design philosophy behind the new decorative system Floem.
