A Glimpse of the Organic Natural World
Trends come and go. Many of them fade in many sectors, from fashion to interior design. It’s kind of a regular thing as we’re used to it. But some trends are as old as time and they’re here to stay. Biophilia – a theory that says humans have an innate and genetically determined affinity with the natural world – it’s one of them.
You might be asking how the world of Interior Design and Castro are connected to this - We invite you to look around. Interior Designers tend to bring as much as natural elements to their work and, we are no exception. Having this in mind we decided to present you the signature collections inspired by the phenomena of mother nature herself.
It would be impossible to approach this theme and not start with the magnificent Rainforest collection. This collection arose from the timeless lighting celebration of fabulous silhouettes, elements, and movements. Like in a forest, where you find different types of leaves, this collection also offers you an enormous range of diverse designs.

We now introduce you to a collection that is designed based on the strength and fusion of various elements of nature. Fire creates delicacy, wave shapes stones, the sky elevates magic, and the stone brings textures. Therefore, nature shapes lighting design. If you’ve ever been inside a cavern, the Cielo collection might seem familiar to you – it has the same majesty and splendor that a stalactite and a stalagmite possess.
