Buckle is a pivoting wooden door.‎ Barausse introduces an innovative concept into the world of doors and design.‎ A metal 'belt' runs the full height of the wooden door, closing with a 'buckle' that acts as a handle.‎ The De Castelli metal belt, embedded in the door leaf, cites the structural components, becoming an almost architectural insert that contributes to conveying a sculptural image.‎ A union of form and function that is both elegant and dramatic; a work of art to make locking and partitioning systems more than just access.‎ A metal belt along the full height of the door integrates the vertical sculptural handle flush with the wooden door.‎ The shape is characterised by a slightly flared ergonomic design to invite grip.‎ This element, with its strong material presence, combines elegantly with various finishes selected from the Barausse wood proposal.‎ The concept of industrial tailoring brings Barausse and De Castelli together in an experience that promotes their respective expertise and creates a product that celebrates the unparalleled artistry of Italian craftsmanship.‎ This showcases their manufacturing capabilities and determination to push beyond the limits, in constant pursuit of beauty and innovation.‎ Their experience with unique materials showed by exquisite woodworking and original surface treatments, combines with a common vision focused on experimentation.‎The result is a collection of partitions and closing solutions which is the perfect combination of wood and metal, for an exclusive luxurious and contemporary aesthetic result.‎ The wood’s warmth and texture convey a sense of depth and tangibility, emphasised by the elegant and refined appearance of metal.‎ Visual and tactile sensations unite resulting in special doors that serve their function with sophisticated style and dramatic impact.‎ Faithful to its decision to reinstate the special role of metal in design and experimentation, De Castelli infuses artisan ideas and workmanship into industrial processes, leading to entirely original results.‎ The encounter with design inspires an approach to materials founded upon respect for their potential, be it hidden or obvious, which emerges slowly in unique works.‎ Unique not only for the hand that has created them, but also for the singular cultural path that focuses on the aesthetic (and not just practical) value of the primordial material with which De Castelli shapes living spaces.‎
