Filostil, a 50-Year-Long Family Story

Advanced Artisan Manufacture and Creative Atelier at the same time. Two entrepreneurial aspects that, to all intents and purposes, speak to two different worlds: on the one hand, a target that identifies with brands, retailers and wholesalers that require a copious catalogue of jewelry and collections, and on the other, boutiques, high-end brands and stone retailers that aim at an exclusive audience with one-of-a-kind and made-to-order creations. Filostil is a more unique than rare case in which two extremely different manufacturing entities literally find themselves under the same roof in Valenza, a city recognized the world over for its lengthy goldsmithing tradition. A tradition on which the Cattelans' family story also hinges. In 1978 they set up an artisan workshop, which has now evolved into a company where 38 highly specialized employees cater for over 170 regular customers and every new entry in a now global market. In fact, a map of Filostil customers’ countries of origin shows that 73% are in Europe, 20% in the USA, 5% in Asia and 2% in the rest of the world. What unites these two souls are the cornerstones of Casa Cattelan: attention to detail, manual skill, state-of-the-art technology and, above all, an enormous ability to interpret the customer's wishes, whether it involves a stock order for hundreds of pieces or a single item of collector's jewelry. The totally in-house production chain means that every phase of the creative process is kept under control, from the first free-hand sketch to the CAD process, engraving, embedding and so on, up to the finishing, guaranteeing a result that is a pleasure to the eye and emotional to the touch.
