See you there!

Belokopytoff for Westnofa, Norway, 1950s.

One sheet of moulded teak plywood, four chrome legs, and a shape that still looks futuristic seventy years later.

A very rare and beautifully sculptural piece of Scandinavian modern design, retaining its original finish and patina.

Available now.

Half a century of quiet evenings, good books and well-earned relaxation have given this 1970s Scandinavian lounge chair a wonderful patina that simply can't be recreated.

Its sculptural laminated timber frame and beautifully aged leather cushions feel every bit as relevant today as they did fifty years ago.

Always nice to be asked to contribute.

A big thank you to Cornwall Living for featuring Casta Blue as one of Cornwall's leading interiors businesses and sharing our passion for mid-century design, craftsmanship and sustainable living.

It's a privilege to be part of the conversation and, hopefully, inspire a few more people to choose vintage over new.

Royal Cornwall Show – Saturday Closure

It is with great regret that following a thorough assessment of forecast weather conditions and their impact on the showground, the difficult decision has been taken to cancel the final day of the Royal Cornwall Show on Saturday.

The safety and wellbeing of our visitors, exhibitors, competitors, members, staff, volunteers and contractors has been central to this decision and remains our highest priority.

We recognise how disappointing this news will be for everyone involved, particularly those who had planned to attend, exhibit or compete, and we would like to thank all our stakeholders for their patience, understanding and support.

Further information for ticket holders, exhibitors, competitors, members and other stakeholders will be communicated as soon as possible through the Royal Cornwall Show’s official channels.

Two unusual finds from a recent trip to Lisbon.

At first glance they look like a typical pair of 1970s Fat Lava ceramics, but the more we researched them, the more interesting they became.

The smaller vase carries an East German export mark from the Cold War era. Although Fat Lava is usually associated with West Germany, East German factories were producing and exporting ceramics across Europe too.

The taller vase remains something of a mystery. The dramatic red and black volcanic glaze is unmistakably period, but the unusual marks on the base don't match anything we've come across before.

That's one of the things we enjoy most about sourcing vintage. Sometimes you buy a piece because you like how it looks. Only later do you discover the history behind it.

Found in Lisbon. Now in Cornwall.

A fresh look for Casta Blue 😍

The new signs went up today, marking the completion of our shop refurbishment.

A huge thank you to everyone who has continued to support us over the last few months. Your visits, purchases, messages and encouragement have meant a great deal.

We're looking forward to getting back to what we love most: sourcing, restoring and sharing beautiful vintage furniture and interiors.
