Surfaces with galvanic finishes are highly prized for their aesthetic value, giving each piece a unique and distinctive character. Due to their refined nature, they require careful and regular maintenance to preserve their original appearance and properties over time. Cleaning should be performed gently, using appropriate tools: it is recommended to use only a soft cloth, dry or slightly dampened with lukewarm water. Harsh detergents, solvents, abrasive products, or acid/alcohol-based cleaners must be avoided, as they can alter the finish or damage the surface. After cleaning, always dry thoroughly to prevent the formation of stains or unwanted marks. In addition to regular cleaning, attention to daily use is essential: it is recommended to protect the finish from accidental impacts, scratches, friction, or prolonged contact with liquids and potentially corrosive substances. Simple precautions, such as using coasters or placing the piece in areas not exposed to extreme conditions, can help extend the surface’s beauty. The delicacy of the galvanic finish should not be mistaken for fragility, but rather seen as a hallmark of its exclusivity—a call to care for it with the same attention reserved for a precious object. By following these general guidelines, the aesthetic quality and intrinsic value of the finish can be preserved over time, maintaining its ability to inspire admiration and wonder.
Galvanic Finishes
At the heart of every Desalto creation lies a constant dialogue between material and idea, between technique and vision. Galvanic finishes represent the ultimate expression of this union: a refined chemical process that transforms the metal surface into a precious “skin,” capable of reflecting light and evoking ever-changing visual emotions. It is not merely a treatment, but a true metamorphosis. The metal, a strong and primordial element, through galvanic finishing acquires unexpected shades, chromatic and tactile depth that make it unique. It is a form of contemporary alchemy, where science meets beauty and functionality merges with art.
Desalto has chosen this process to go beyond the concept of a mere finish: galvanic treatment becomes a language through which its products are given voice, a distinctive feature that emphasizes the purity of their forms and enhances their elegance. Each galvanised surface is not just a coating, but a tailored “garment” that highlights the design, making every piece precious, rare, and unique.
Thus, through galvanic finishing, Desalto tables, seating, and accessories rise beyond their practical function. They are no longer mere pieces of furniture: they become luminous presences that capture the eye and the imagination, revealing unparalleled craftsmanship and technical expertise. Every surface, every detail, reflects the mastery of the production processes and the relentless pursuit of harmony between aesthetics and functionality. Galvanic finishing is not merely a surface treatment: it is a tangible expression of the dialogue between tradition and innovation, enhancing the nobility of the materials and projecting design toward new future possibilities.
Tecnic Area - Galvanic Finishes
Behind every Desalto table, chair, and accessory, there is not only design and artisanal mastery, but also a strong commitment to the environment. Our galvanic processes tell a story of care and responsibility: every drop of water is carefully treated through a fully automated chemical-physical system and purification procedures designed down to the smallest detail. Our team continuously monitors wastewater, performing checks that ensure proper process functionality and full compliance with the strictest environmental regulations. Periodic analyses of the wastewater confirm Desalto’s commitment to protecting natural resources, guaranteeing transparency and reliability: inspections by ARPA (the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection) have verified the absence of critical issues in our production process concerning environmental impact. This approach allows us to make galvanic finishing much more than a technical procedure: it becomes an act of responsibility toward the future, balancing aesthetics, materials, and sustainability. With Desalto, elegance and innovation coexist with care for the planet in every detail.
