Italy leads the way in. innovative design.

Have you ever thought about making a storage facility look a lot different than just roller doors? It is possible, and Casaforte Italy leads the way. By Casaforte Self Storage.

Casaforte is the biggest self storage operator in Italy, with more than 20 facilities located in the peninsula. The first facility opened in 2000, and it has continued its expansion ever since. Casaforte is always trying to find new and innovative self storage solutions, first in Italy and then in Switzerland with its facilities in Lugano, Bedano and Basilea.

It has been able to profoundly innovate the self storage industry, doing something no one had done before, so how did they do it?

Casaforte has always focused on people, with its motto “Our people come first”. It invests in its employees with ongoing training and courses, both professional and personal, as well as ensuring customers receive dedicated (obsessive) attention. This ensures attention to people’s needs is its primary mission.

“Casaforte has always focused on people, with its motto “Our people come first”.

Embracing people and their needs fosters innovation and ideas. This extreme attention and desire to understand the needs of its customers has pushed Casaforte to conduct specific studies to find ways to better support them.

Casaforte decided to break the golden rules of self storage that advocated the opening of large facilities and introduced a small plant in the heart of the beautiful city of Milan, kicking off a new era of self storage: the Casaforte Express. l

Cesare Carcano, president of Casaforte Self Storage, said: “For some time, we were wondering if it could be possible to realise something different, a full of beauty and cosy facility which could meet the needs of our customers.” Casaforte did it. It created a beautiful and pleasant environment, setting up majestic trees in the facility’s centre, complete with electrical sockets for mobile phone recharging. The facility’s corridors are decorated with evocative images of mountains, sea, cities, spaces where people live that may remind them of the objects they will deposit in the store. This facility is entirely new and innovative, rich in beautiful murals and art that transforms a sterile environment into -one of colour and emotion. The most fascinating and attractive part of this innovation is that Casaforte reserved an entire wing for modern art, including the character Valentina by Guido Crepax, an Italian cartoonist known around the world for his beautiful and evocative drawings. The new Casaforte Express has brought value to customers and the environment by restoring old structures instead of starting afresh, therefore saving land and redeveloping the city districts. Casaforte has brought self storage closer to the people by creating a pleasant, unique and more reassuring environment that helps customers relax and meet their needs.
