HISTORY AND THE FUTURE
For more than 50 years Destro has been synonymous with art and professionalism in woodworking
Egidio Destro, born in 1936, after attending a professional technical drawing course, started at very young age his working career as carpenter apprentice in some companies in the province of Vicenza.
Soon his innate passion for woodworking led him to open a company on March 28, 1962.
From that moment numerous collaborations began, together with important architecture firms at national level.
Thanks also to these partnerships, very precious furnishing solutions for shops, offices and private homes throughout Italy saw the light.
Sergio Destro, Egidio’s son, started working in the family carpentry shop from the age of 14, acquiring his father’s mastery and passion for the art of woodworking.
Subsequently, he consolidated his skills with specific training and professional refresher courses, becoming a craftsman particularly appreciated by many designers; in June 2006 Sergio took over the company, and faithful to his father’s entrepreneurial vocation, he adopted the name “D.E. Woodworking by Sergio Destro “.
Now renamed DEContract, Sergio combines the warmth of traditional manufacturing with the efficiency of new technologies in his creations, giving birth to highly innovative solutions.
