The textile tradition has been part of the Emanuele Castellini family for a long time. It was the great-grandfather Clateo who entered the textile world, taking over a jute, hemp and linen factory founded in 1850; the original specialization concerned fabrics for technical uses such as bags for the Italian Post, hail nets or cheese nets. After a first evolution in the exclusive use of natural fibers, the company subsequently dedicated itself to home linen fabrics and the famous striped fabrics, for deckchairs for the Lido of Venice, the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
In 1996 Emanuele founded with his cousin Piero Castellini Baldissera a new company for the creation and distribution of home textile products, named C&C Milano, where the two Cs represent the surnames of the founders, both members of the same Milanese family, while the logo is formed from two horseshoes, evoking the well-known passion of the Castellini for equines and horse riding; the initiative took shape in 1998 with the opening of the Milanese space in via della Spiga: furnishing fabrics – especially linen – are the strong point, flanked by household linen, accessories and clothing.
The main objective is to dress the house to concretize a personality with shapes and colors. The character of the company is the result of this strong sensitivity and of the value that the Castellini family has always placed in its history and tradition linked to the textile world. It is this same passion that still today after four generations moves Piero and Emanuele Castellini: the style of Piero Castellini Baldissera, architect, blends perfectly with the textile tradition and the taste of Emanuele, giving life to the innovative concept of fabric design.
Thanks to the cutting edge of the technologies used in the weaving processes and the high quality of the fibers, the fabrics can be made in double height and in different weights; the attention to detail is realized above all in the last phase of each project, by packaging every detail and finish rigorously by hand in its highly specialized tailoring laboratory. The personal control over the whole chain, in the most natural and consolidated tradition of Made in Italy, is in fact C&C Milan quality prerogative.
What fascinates most in the production of C&C Milano is the possibility of adapting an exceptional style and quality to your needs, for the home, garden and leisure time. All projects are developed by cooperating with designers, interior decorators, furniture designers, creating a platform where everything becomes possible and the guideline is the lifestyle trend that distinguishes the Maison, now famous all over the world for its refined linens. The catalog is completed by a wide range of precious and high quality yarns and fabrics: wool, cashmere, silk, cotton, organza … and important collaborations with personalities from the world of design, art, photography, such as the recent collection dedicated to butterflies designed by Giovanni Gastel.
