Story – About
Kastella started with a desire
to make well-made furniture.
One piece at a time. No rush.
The basics are important to us. A simple white t-shirt, a classic pair of jeans, a good pair of boots. The same goes for our home. A timeless table, a classic chair, a solid bed and a beautiful light. A slow gradual process of layering. Room by room, one piece at a time. Our furniture is simple and understated.
Well thought out, timeless pieces that work in different spaces. A collection of purposefully designed furniture that endures and adapts with you over time. Functional pieces that come to life through our design and unique details. Our furniture is meant to be lived with, lived on and enjoyed. We are Montreal made through and through.
Materials
Material selection is a careful and considered process. No rush. Hardwood is our main material – black walnut, maple, and white oak. At the start of each project, we pull fresh boards from the rack, lay them out for inspection and pick the ones best suited for each piece of furniture —a systematic process of examining rough-milled wood for colour, grain, and form.
Sustainability
Designed and handcrafted in Montreal, our hardwood furniture is simple and understated. A collection of purposefully designed solid wood furniture that endures and adapts with you over time – for us, this is the cornerstone of sustainability.
Workshop
Our furniture is built in limited series using a combination of traditional and modern woodworking techniques and machinery. The workshop is the heart of our business, hand selecting our materials, building one piece at a time and ensuring the best possible quality.
