Kristalia

Kristalia was founded in 1994 by the ingenuity of two Friulian entrepreneurs, united by their passion for design and jazz, they discovered completely new areas for design, in which they expressed local excellence. A few years later, Kristalia was already a landmark in Italy and beyond. At the outset of the 21st century the company made the history of extending tables. In the second decade of the century it became one of the design firms that particularly attracted designers. A few years ago it also opened up to the world of hospitality contract supplies. Nowadays, once sceptical contractors are the first to contact Kristalia to develop new ideas. Their goal is to be an example of high industrial craftsmanship, to show how technology and creativity could accompany made in Italy into the new millennium.
