Kristalia products synthesize the quality of Italian manufacturing with contemporary styling designed to appeal to young consumers. The company employs a comprehensive quality control policy to monitor materials and construction/assembly, both in its in-house testing center as well as at the CATAS research and development facility. The oversight assures a quality product— “items that stand out because of the essential character, the ease of placement, and which take into account a younger age group, in line with the current needs of daily living.”

Poule Table:
With a pedestal base inspired by the unique appearance of a hen’s foot, Patrick Norguet’s Poule collection of occasional tables offers a sense of ease and joie de vivre. The line of drawn aluminum tables features pressure die-cast components for extra strength and long-life. A fold-up top allows easy transport and storage—making it exceptionally versatile—and square and round top profile options appeal to a variety of aesthetic tastes. Available in two heights and two finish options (black or white epoxy lacquer), Poule is durable enough for outdoor use.

Bikappa Chair:
“More than minimalist,” Bikappa is Bartoli Design’s iconic take on high function and high modernism in an eminently versatile chair with a timeless aesthetic appeal. Evoking the look and production technique of classic pieces by such eminent designers as Pierre Paulin and the Eames, Bikappa features single sheet injection-molded polypropylene construction. The method has produced an extraordinarily light and lithe chair, whose pencil-thin profile does not belie its exceptional strength. Finish options for the frame include polished aluminum
or aluminum with lacquer. Seats are available in white, red, or black polypropylene or Kristalia’s natural full-grain leather hide in your choice of 12 colors.

Dart Stool:
Luca Nichetto’s Dart Stool is innovative and invigorating. Well-placed, as at the bar of a Mediterranean seaside hotel, it has an effect of pleasing precision, as of its namesake striking a dead center bulls-eye. Dart transcends easy categorization, as it inhabits residential, contract, and commercial venues with equal aplomb. Made of durable polypropylene with a steel frame, it offers easy adjustability (gas pistons automatically enable different seat heights), excellent ergonomics (courtesy of its broad stable base and wide footrest), and aesthetic moxie (vibrant shades of black, red, white, or curry yellow): “Dynamic and original, the Dart stool makes any space more comfortable and elegant.”
In addition to its comprehensive line-up of tables, chairs, storage, and lighting for both contract and residential use, Kristalia offers an extensive collection of outdoor furnishings. These tables, chairs, and bench seating—designed by Christophe Pillet, Harry&Camila, and LucidiPevere, among others—display Kristalia’s signature stylistic innovation, yet are made to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. Featuring epoxy-lacquered aluminum frames, uv-resistant polypropylene, and extra thick high-pressure-laminate surfaces, Kristalia’s outdoor furnishings are a worthy accompaniment to the indoor line.
