Salon Maison & Objet, Paris - Kristalia





A word by Kristalia:.

To celebrate its third attendance at NOW! Design à Vivre, Kristalia will take two design projects, created in France, to Paris, as well as many other new products. Renowned international designer Christophe Pillet has created the elegant Pulp cantilever chair for Kristalia and the Neat table, which combines sensuality and versatility in a few clear-cut lines.

For the first time, the BCN Wood and Elephant Wood chairs will be presented at the Paris fair, respectively designed by the well-known creative pair Harry&Camila and Neuland Industriedesign: comfortable modern shapes enhanced with the warm tactile appeal of wood.

The technical and stylistic excellence of the Sushi Outdoor 12 table and the soft silhouette of the Joko chair mark the tenth year of a partnership with the great creative team of Bartoli Design while the Rest collection by Harry&Camila establishes itself as a strong point of reference for those who want to furnish an outdoor space. The design projects by Luciano Bertoncini, another master of Italian design, are also a forgone success, including the ingenious Rotor convertible table that catches the eye.

Kristalia in Paris: a range of strong clear-cut shapes in bright and moderate colours, sharing the same excellent product engineering and respect for the environment that have always been the “trademark” of Kristalia.

Avant-Scène Favorites:

Joko
Design: Bartoli Design


Studio Bartoli Design had been working for years on a project for a poetically minimalist chair. The outcome is Joko, an absolute product. The difficulty lays in minimising it as far as possible, without making it too basic or rigid. Its distinguishing feature is the single fused shape, which is soft and organic, of its surfaces that include the front legs, the back and the rear legs. Its continuous surface can be upholstered in a variety of materials: in leather and in fabric in different colours and versions.




Rest Collection
Design: Harry & Camila


A complete furniture collection developed together with two outdoor design specialists: Harry&Camila. It includes a stackable chair, a stackable lounge chair with or without armrests, a stackable chaise longue and a lounger on wheels. They have epoxy-lacquered aluminium frames for outdoors while upholstery is in polyester rope or interlaced straps in the same material, for a textile and technological effect. The frames and upholstery are available in beige, brown, anthracite grey and black to provide tone-on-tone shades or to experiment with many colour combinations.



Pulp
Design: Christophe Pillet



Cantilever chair for indoor and outdoor, embossed, in polypropylene available in a wide choice of colours.



“The table and chair I am designing for Kristalia are ambitious design projects, not only because of their design but also because of the difficulty in manufacturing them industrially. These objects are simple in shape but technically complex.
I designed them to suit the Kristalia image, which, in my view, has a democratic dimension, as the company creates objects that are ideal for everyone and which are not just attractive but also have a significant technical content that enhances a design project. The style of Kristalia stands out for its simple linear design. There is no exhibitionism, it is basic, but sensually basic, with a technical difficulty that I like very much, and which provides customers with an attractive and well-constructed object."
