Eva Paster and Michael Geldmacher, namely Neuland Industriedesign. A pair of designer friends who not only work in their design studio in Munich but also retreat to a kind of creative mountain refuge at 1400 metres above sea level to be inspired by nature. After the success of Elephant, which started the partnership between Kristalia and Neuland Industriedesign, the idea was born for Blio: a bookcase that gets its name from the middle syllable of the word “bi-blio-teca”, highlighting how a well-known object can be read from a different angle to the usual one. Blio brings the rather mysterious charm of libraries, with their many shelves and aisles, to homes and offices: an emotion to rediscover every day.
