Castelle Gala

Extruded Aluminum Inspired by Ballet

The Gala collection has a specific origin story. The design brief called for something that captured the parallel movement of two dancers waltzing side by side. The result is a wrap-around chair back formed by floating vertical aluminum tubes that arc gracefully around the sitter. Straight lines and hard corners define the overall silhouette; the wrap-around back introduces the curve. It's a contemporary collection with a gesture toward the choreographic, and it's unlike anything else in the Castelle catalog.

Gala is also the one collection in this lineup that uses extruded rather than cast aluminum. That's a meaningful construction distinction. Cast aluminum is poured into a mold, producing dense, intricately shaped frames. Extruded aluminum is formed by pushing heated aluminum through a die, which yields cleaner, crisper profiles with a lighter visual weight. The Gala chair back could not be achieved in cast aluminum; the precision of those floating vertical tubes is specific to the extrusion process. Exclusive brushed finishes are available for Gala, complementing the clean metallic quality of extruded construction. As part of the full Castelle lineup, Gala still carries the 15-year frame warranty and 5-year finish warranty.

Eleven pieces cover the full height range. Deep seating includes sofas and lounge chairs. Chaise lounges come in both padded sling and standard sling. The dining side uses cushioned arm chairs and cushioned dining swivel rockers. Bar and counter arm chairs round out the program with cushioned upholstery. All cushion fabric is Sunbrella. For buyers comparing Gala against the broader field of aluminum patio furniture, the extruded construction and brushed finish options put it in a different visual category than cast alternatives.
