The new contemporary imagination according to Cotto d’Este
Interior design is experiencing a return to substance, history, and tactile depth: this is Castlecore Dark, a trend that reimagines the home as an emotional refuge, a narrative space where floors and walls become true architectural elements.
An aesthetic born as a counterpoint to hypermodernity and minimalism, further fuelled by cinema’s renewed interest in gothic literary classics – from Luc Besson’s new take on Dracula to Guillermo del Toro’s reinterpretation of Frankenstein. The result is an intense design language, featuring nature-inspired materials, dramatic marbles, sculpted stones, tactile fabrics and surfaces that enhance aesthetics and functionality, creating interiors full of character and depth.
In this context, Cotto d’Este embraces the trend with collections that turn ceramic surfaces into narrative tools: large-format solutions rich in identity, designed for spaces that seek visual intensity, elegance, and outstanding technical performance.
