Material is at the heart of the project.
Our starting point.
Every project begins with a vision and involves a choice.
It is a matter of form, of light, but above all, of material. KREI was founded on the belief that materials are not simply construction elements, but the very heart of architectural design. Surfaces, textures, colours and finishes define a space, shaping its atmosphere and character.
From research to design
KREI is a partner for architects and interior designers in the research and selection of materials for contemporary architecture.
· marble, granite, and natural stone
· seamless surfaces
· bucchero
· handcrafted mosaics
· handcrafted terracotta
· furnishings and material details
Each material is selected for its aesthetic, technical and expressive qualities and incorporated into a design process that goes beyond simply supplying materials.
We start with materials to create truly bespoke design solutions.
We support architects and architectural practices throughout every stage of the process:
· project analysis
· material research
· development of palettes and combinations
· bespoke solutions
· on-site support
Material Culture
We believe in the value of natural materials and their ability to engage in dialogue with contemporary architecture.
Stone tells the story of time.
Mosaic creates rhythm and plays of light.
Seamless surfaces define minimalist spaces.
Black bucchero reinterprets the allure of Etruscan ceramics.
Terracotta brings warmth, together with the charm of imperfection and the beauty of time-worn character.
Every material has a voice.
Our mission is to listen to it and bring out its value through design.
A place for research
KREI is also a physical and cultural space.
In our showroom, architects and designers can:
· see and touch the materials
· compare textures and finishes
· explore different combinations
· create design palettes
A space conceived as a material library for architecture.
Collaborating to create
We collaborate with architecture studios, interior designers and companies on residential, hospitality and retail projects.
Every project is unique.
Every material is the result of a vision and a deliberate choice.
KREI is where material and design come together.
