Transforming spaces into experiences for over 70 years

Since 1950, when we began as Marcenaria Sarzedas in a small shop in downtown São Paulo, we have held the conviction that pioneering spirit, technology, and tradition would form the foundation of Celmarʼs history.

And so we continue to anticipate needs by bringing dreams to life in environments filled with stories, through custom-made furniture that revisits atelier techniques combined with functionality and innovation.

Pioneering Spirit

Pioneering Spirit

We were pioneers in concepts that were unprecedented at the time, creating built-in wardrobes and drawer beds—solutions that became standards in the Brazilian market.

That same drive has brought us to where we are today: an operation spanning over 70,000 m² in Salto de Pirapora, São Paulo, equipped with cutting-edge technology and capable of producing around 30 tons daily—without losing the artisanal essence that defines us.

Every stage of our production is guided by a genuine commitment to environmental responsibility—from certified raw materials to processes that reduce waste and reuse resources.

Our raw materials are Carbon Free, meaning our furniture is produced consciously, with carbon emissions offset and neutralized.

More than a label, it is a choice: to create with elegance, technology, and respect for the environment.
