THE ORIGINS
A story carved in stone
For over 130 years, the Maurino family has preserved and passed down the art of extracting and crafting Swiss natural stone. This heritage of craftsmanship takes new form in Cristallina® Design, a project born from the acquisition of Switzerland's only marble quarry, a rare and precious deposit that reveals 14 unique shades and 56 unique hues.
Cristallina marble, carefully quarried in tunnels to preserve the integrity of the mountain, is at the heart of the brand's vision: an authentic and unique material, transformed into creations that combine centuries-old tradition, contemporary innovation, and a timeless aesthetic. Cristallina® Design furnishings and accessories are not simply decorative objects, but works to be experienced and passed down, expressions of a harmonious fusion of art and design. Each piece enriches spaces with sculptural solidity, elegance, and a captivating character.
The brand believes that the home of the future is not just a place, but an inhabitable experience: a haven of authenticity and well-being where every object tells a story and embodies the values of sustainability and authentic beauty. In collaboration with young international designers selected by ECAL, one of the world's most prestigious design schools, Cristallina® Design intertwines the centuries-old tradition of the Maurino family with the freshness of global ideas. The result is an exclusive collection of functional, emotional, and long-lasting furnishings and accessories: a tangible luxury that makes every space unique, personal, and timeless.

EXCELLENCE
ARTISAN
Each object is crafted through meticulous and meticulous workmanship. Cristallina Design combines artisanal skills, technology, and attention to detail to maximize the aesthetic and material qualities of Cristallina marble.
ORIGIN
Cristallina Design is born from a unique material: Cristallina marble, of marine origin, formed from the calcification of ancient corals and today extracted in the Swiss Alps.
The geological and territorial origin is the identity foundation of every project.
AUTHENTICITY
From the quarry to the finished product, each creation is the result of a direct and transparent supply chain. Cristallina Design works exclusively with marble extracted from Cristallina Marmo, guaranteeing uniqueness, traceability, and absolute consistency between material, process, and end result.
CEO
I am Natascia Finocchiaro Maurino and since I was young I have cultivated a deep passion for elegance, ranging from fashion to art. Specializing in communication and psychology of the image, I understood that form represents the most authentic expression of essence.
Fifteen years ago, together with my husband, we acquired the only marble quarry in Switzerland, integrating it into our family Maison, Graniti Maurino, which has a tradition of excellence in the natural stone sector since 1894. This step gave life to my dream: to transform this precious material into design creations that combine tradition and innovation.
This is how Cristallina® Design was born: a collection of furnishings
and furnishing accessories made of Cristallina marble, the result of collaboration with young international talents. These works are not simple elements to admire, but creations to live daily, designed to integrate harmoniously both
in both indoor and outdoor environments, blending contemporary life with nature.
In an age where many materials try to imitate others, I chose
to restore authenticity to a rare and precious marble, capable
to enrich spaces and offer a unique sensory experience.
Every creation has a soul, tells emotions and responds
to the human desire for beauty, functionality and connection with the essence of truth.
