Elephant Chair by Kristalia

Neuland Studio and Kristalia’s collaborative efforts have resulted in the Elephant Chair, a visually dynamic and all-together versatile design

Winner of the 2012 Interior Innovation in Design Award, the Elephant Chair’s appeal traverses contemporary styling through to a warm Nordic aesthetic when optioned with timber legs.

The luxuriance of leather imbues the design with a smart edge, and an un-upholstered polyurethane shell again presents a chair that in all its variants can be customised to suit the needs of the interior.

Kristalia have been manufacturing furniture in Italy for almost twenty years working with designers across Europe to produce furniture with “character”.

Available for use indoors and out, the Elephant Chair in all its finishes and variations is the quintessential residential and commercial all-rounder.
