Quality "Made in Italy"
Just as in fashion, Italy is the worldwide
leader in furnishing when it comes to creativity and masterful
execution. The "Made in Italy" phenomenon is recognized
the world over for outstanding quality, advanced design and
traditional workmanship which blend with highly technological
manufacturing processes.
Along the way, we have perfected every single detail of our
products, going so far as to improve even the interior aesthetics.
In the tables, for example, to keep repeated use of extensions
from causing scratches on the painted tray, we have used the
"flocculation" technique to apply a special velvety
protective surface right on the tray. This technique is usually
used in the automotive industry for glove compartments and various
object holders [a].
Our quality standards are the highest, and our industrial processes
comply with the most stringent international standards, including
those dealing with environmental protection.
For this reason Kristalia, right from the very beginning, has
always used Italian semi-finished products, to ensure products
of the highest quality possible.
Kristalia performs a series of in-depth controls and checks
of the materials used, both in its in-house testing centre as
well as at the CATAS Research and Development Centre. It is
essential to subject chairs to tough testing in order to evaluate
possible contract placement. Face, for example, has attained
the highest possible scores in resistance tests [b].
Hard leather and hides [c]:
The hides we use to make our products are selected and guaranteed
for quality and durability. The hides used only come from European
bovine farms, where fences are made with low tensioin electric
wires, instead of barbed wire, to protect the animal and guarantee
that its hide remains intact. The hides of animals that have
grown up in the wild or that come from tropical countries often
have marks and scars due to wounds and insect bites. The only
parts we use are called "rumps", processed as second
cuts after "cuoietto", to guarantee a resistant product
and, no less important, a smooth surface with a soft full feel
and uniform colour. Once selected, the hide is tanned, an irreversible
preservation process, which allows it to imperturbably resist
the passing of time, remaining unaltered or even improving its
beauty. Also in this case, Kristalia guarantees the best tanning
processes. In fact, the hides are exclusively processed at the
best tanneries in the tanning district of Arzignano, famous
worldwide for its top quality. Processing is carried out in
compliance with EEC standards.
