The impact of cutting-edge materials on defining a company’s identity

Antoniolupi’s commitment to pioneering solutions—spanning design, technology, and form—finds further expression here. Cristalmood embodies innovation through its unique composition, complemented by the company’s artisanal craftsmanship, which imparts a distinctive character to the final product.

Crafted from premium polyester resin and pigment dyes, Cristalmood is a highly durable, anti-corrosive material compatible with all common cleaning agents. It resists denatured alcohol, acetone, oils, benzene, and diesel. Notably lightweight, objects made with this innovative material weigh approximately 30% less than those made from other solid surfaces due to their unique composition.

The material comes in 16 colors, ideal for washbasins, bathtubs, and home decor. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, thanks to a meticulous craft process: the resin is hand-poured, then sanded and polished to remove imperfections and add a radiant finish. Subtle color variations, size differences, and tiny air bubbles enhance the authenticity and character of each item. This resin seamlessly combines technological innovation with artisanal expertise, making every product unique and irreplaceable.

The crafting of Cristalmood involves intricate steps, with manual intervention playing a crucial role. Freshly molded pieces emerge with a raw texture, requiring careful sanding and polishing to achieve a smooth, glossy finish. A protective sealant is applied as the final touch.

It’s no coincidence that this material has become a signature of antoniolupi, capable not only of representing a significant innovation in the industry but, above all, of leaving an unmistakable mark on the company’s creations. It is, in fact, used across various collections, making the brand instantly recognizable to many, underscoring once again how well-designed products can themselves become a strategic marketing tool.
