La Castellamonte, since 1975
Our company, which has taken its name from town where it is placed, has been producing ceramic artefacts for about forty years, from those seventies where, after a period of obsolescence that lasted since the end of World War II, some young ceramists had restarted working on with clay.
The stoves production restarted in the next decade, when the first energy crises occurred.
Families wanted to be able to heat up autonomously, beyond centralized plants, and moreover they rediscovered the great value of the beautiful, functional pottery, which provided in addition to warmth, emotional visual comfort.
Handcrafted production: handmade stoves and ceramic products
Today we produce 18 models, in multiple sizes for each model, with about 45 options of choice, suitable for every type of environment, engineered in respect of the tradition, convective and with accumulation.
The choice of colors is wide and meets further customization requirements.
Our History
In the history of Castellamonte there is the presence of a “red thread” that has linked different generations: it is the continuity of working with clay, a natural raw material extracted from the caves of the area and that has always been used for the realization of functional and decorative objects.
Roberto Perino and Silvana Neri, owners of “La Castellamonte stufe”, which has long been in the field of artistic craftsmanship and obtained the trademark “Piemonte Eccellenza Artigiana” in 2001, have been able to preserve the ancient techniques of workmanship, producing high quality artifacts, reinterpreting them and adapting them to the renewed needs of a modern life.
They work with a team of young women and men, to whom the ancient ceramic art has been passed on.
And so the ceramic, environmentally friendly and safety-friendly wood-burning or pellet burning stoves, are produced with the brand “La Castellamonte”, combining the experience of tradition with an innovative technology.
Their shapes fit harmoniously, thanks to the variety of colors and the pleasant aesthetics of the ornaments, in every room, furnished with style furnishings or modern design. La Castellamonte also produces artistic ceramics, tableware and decorative objects, rediscovering ancient, simple and traditional forms and combining them with new requirements in terms of functionality and design.
Alongside objects dear to tradition and ancient recipes, La Castellamonte has entered the field of tableware production with innovative designs, using natural materials that are processed with extreme care. It also produces terracotta indoor and outdoor architectural elements, frost resistant, resulting from a particular research both in the field of art and technology.
Panels, molds, vases, colonnades, balustrades, chimneys, cups, ornamental friezes are required both for the restoration of ancient churches and homes and as a natural complement to the beauty of new buildings.
