Sushi, Thin-K, Plana: When a Table Becomes a Furniture Philosophy
The Kristalia catalogue is built around a few principles and many objects that have become cornerstones. The Sushi table, signed by Bartoli Design in 2002 and continuously updated in its finishes, is the brand's absolute bestseller. Drawn anodised aluminium structure 6×6 cm; top available in Fenix-NTM®, DEKTON® by Cosentino, Pure-white laminate, or glass — fixed or extendable. The Thin-K table, designed by Luciano Bertoncini in 2011, pushes this philosophy to the extreme: a top just 6 mm thick, capable of extending to considerable lengths without losing linearity — a technological and formal challenge that appears to float in the air. The Plana chair, signed by LucidiPevere in 2009, is injection-moulded polypropylene reinforced with fibreglass: extremely lightweight, stackable up to ten units, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use thanks to a removable plug in the seat for water drainage.
An International Designer Roster and EPD Certification
The quality of the Kristalia catalogue is inseparable from the quality of the designers who sign it. The brand collaborates with Lievore + Altherr Désile Park (Barcelona) — among the most globally influential product design studios — as well as Sam Hecht and Kim Colin, Kensaku Oshiro, Luca Nichetto, Cristina Celestino, Patrick Norguet, Claesson Koivisto Rune, and dozens of other international designers. Sustainability is not a communications positioning: Kristalia has obtained EPD certification (Environmental Product Declaration) for its products — a document based on measured data that attests to the real environmental impact across the entire lifecycle of a piece of furniture. The headquarters itself was designed to balance energy consumption, architectural impact, and human dimension, in keeping with the vocation of a region historically sensitive to the quality of building.

FAQ – Kristalia: Your Questions, Our Answers
Who founded Kristalia and what does the name mean?
Kristalia was founded in 1994 in Brugnera, in the province of Pordenone, by a group of young Friulian entrepreneurs united by a shared passion for design and jazz. The name is a fusion of two key words: cristallo (crystal) and Italia (Italy), reflecting the initial specialisation in glass accessories and a commitment to Made in Italy. The first catalogue was presented in autumn 1995; from 1997 onwards the company established an in-house Research & Development department dedicated to experimenting with new materials and production techniques.
What is Kristalia's most famous table?
Kristalia's most famous and best-selling table is Sushi, designed by Bartoli Design in 2002. Its strength lies in the 6×6 cm drawn anodised aluminium structure, available in fixed or extendable versions, paired with an interchangeable top in a choice of materials: Fenix-NTM®, DEKTON® by Cosentino, Pure-white laminate, or glass. Since its launch, Sushi has been continuously updated in finishes and dimensions, remaining the most requested product in the Kristalia catalogue year after year.
What does "Forever Furniture" mean and how does Kristalia approach sustainability?
"Forever Furniture" is Kristalia's manifesto — objects designed to last over time, with an essential design capable of adapting to any context. In concrete terms, Kristalia has obtained EPD certification (Environmental Product Declaration) for its products: a document based on measured data that attests to the real environmental impact across the entire lifecycle of a piece of furniture. The timbers used come from FSC-certified plantations. The company headquarters was designed to optimise energy consumption and architectural impact.
