World Interiors Day, defined by the International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers (IFI), is a global celebration held annually to recognize the impact of interior design on the quality of life. It serves as a moment to reflect on the role of design in shaping environments that inspire, support, and connect us all.

In celebration of this occasion, Castro  proudly presents its World Interiors Day Series 2025: Castro Design Community—a tribute to the designers whose collaborative spirit and artistic vision elevate each handcrafted piece into a defining element of the spaces they design.

For over 45 years, Castro has been proudly handcrafted in Portugal, bringing together innovative design, elegance, and meticulous artisanal precision. At the heart of this legacy is a commitment to emotional storytelling through design—where light becomes an expression of feeling, space, and intention.

To mark this occasion, Castro is highlighting a selection of collaborators whose work reflects the synergy between vision and craftsmanship. These creative professionals bring light to life in unique and inspiring ways. Each collaboration represents more than just a professional relationship; it is a creative partnership, rooted in shared values and a mutual dedication to excellence.

Design Begins with Emotion

Our philosophy is built on the belief that design begins with emotion. Every piece is created to elevate and inspire, crafted with precision and passion. The goal is not simply to illuminate, but to shape mood, define atmosphere, and endure through time.

Collaboration at the Core

At Castro, designers are considered co-creators. Whether through bespoke commissions or curated collaborations, the process is one of dialogue, exploration, and innovation. Lighting is tailored to each project’s vision—supporting bold ideas with refined, handcrafted solutions.

This approach ensures that every project is a fusion of vision and technique, where the designer’s intent is enhanced by Castro’s technical mastery and attention to detail.
