Gaetano Conti states:
All that we make is realized to valorize your AV components. This means that … Why are you using racks for turntables, amplifiers? The designed racks for these components allow you to valorize everything. Not every kind of surface helps to improve the performance. What we make if fully designed to increase the enjoyability when listening to music. Our criteria, our method of realization is simply based on the fact that we like to produce what we would like to have in our own listening space. We put a lot of passion for music in our products.
Our designs are very simple but elegant. We offer 2 main finishes: black and white. You can choose between flat black or white, glossy, painted or laminated. Why? We want to stay regular in time with our products. If someone decides to buy a new system and use our racks, he can be sure that our products will stand the test of time and not be devaluated in the future. Our products are here to last. Thank you for your attention! We wish you many hours of great music.

Our apologies for the background noise, but it was rather crowdy that day!
Solidsteel finish options explained
Solidsteel keeps its palette deliberately narrow, offering black and white in flat, glossy, painted or laminated finishes so a rack bought today won’t look dated years later. That restraint extends across the catalogue, from the entry S2 through the luxury HP Series, where buyers can additionally choose a Calacatta White or Atlantic Black marble shelf paired with a brass or copper frame.
Built to last, not to trend
The company’s design brief prioritizes longevity over fashion: Gaetano Conti has said the goal is for owners to be confident their rack “will stand the test of time and not be devaluated in the future.” That philosophy runs through Solidsteel’s in-house Italian manufacturing, where a dedicated mechanical workshop produces custom parts and prototypes beyond the standard catalogue.
