A furnishing for a boutique, full-wall cladding and an industrial component each require different attention. In Carimate, in the province of Como, we bring together the technical office, workshop, finishing department and assembly within one production organisation, coordinating the stages of every project in-house.

Our role

Bespoke metalwork for every project

Since 1972, YDF has produced bespoke metalwork for architects and designers, turning their projects into pieces that respect their identity and design. Our knowledge of materials, command of metalworking processes and care in finishing allow us to develop tailored solutions, including for complex requirements, without the constraints of standard products.

Since 2006, we have strengthened our experience in producing furniture for fashion and luxury brands, extending our expertise to other sectors, from residential architecture to commercial and contract spaces, through to industrial applications.

At our Carimate facility, we manage every stage in-house: from construction detailing to fabrication, from finish application to assembly and packaging. The dialogue between the technical office and production combines design expertise with manufacturing knowledge, ensuring continuity and control through to delivery, in Italy and abroad.
