Our story goes back to 1962, when our founders Mr. Chrysanthos Kallionidis and Mrs. Maro
Kallionidi started probing and supplying the greek market of decorative household items and
furniture.
In doing so, by nature innovative, dynamic, bold and with a deep sense of elegance, grace
and beauty, they start a business aiming at what is simplest and most fundamental: <The
best for the client>.
Ever since, this principle and elements are set as the core truth and axis of all our endeavors.
Not long after that, our selections and suggestions in the homeware and furniture
department, attract a loyal array of clients looking for something unique and elegant at the
best value for money throughout the Greek and European market.
A few years go by and our company, though still in its early steps as <Crysanthos> - a name
that still thousands of customers identify with the ultimate end when it comes to homewarethrough
a brilliant staff of designers and directors sets off to display new exclusive products
created specifically for our constantly growing and expanding fans.
In the early 1990s, the company is enhanced even more to welcome the second generation
of employers, Mrs Evangelia and Mrs Myrofora Kallionidou. Together they launch an
unparalleled matching process of proven suppliers and new markets, new ideas and mature
ones, classical elegance and sophisticated options for every home and every decorative
style. It's then that <MARASKINO> - KALLIONIDI SIS CO. is founded.
Not long since then comes a wide recognition and public enthusiasm for the furniture designs
we deal in exclusively. That is what makes us place extra gravity and effort on the
challenging area of homeware. We know that it takes a unique balance of elegance and
prestige, knowledge and pioneering, boldness and classic taste.
We see and recognize our customers' needs and preferences through our contact with retail
sales.We know what you need at home and at what price. We are absolute experts in
materials, processes, markets and quality control. In short, we know what our client quests
and we decide to create it from scratch, at the best value for money.
Starting from a blank sheet of paper, with inspiration and passion, the design team
<MARASKINO> led by the designers Kallionidi sisters create and design, get inspired and
imprint, restore and intervene upon dozens of new forms of furniture of any kind.
Then, the search for the best -remember that our principle is as simple as that: <The best
for the client> - has brought our brilliant team of designers in exclusive agreements with
producers of the global furniture industry.
Those few partners who are in charge of manufacturing and materializing our exclusive
designs are carefully selected:
Some through long decades of cooperation with our company and others as young craftsmen
who impress us with their inspiration, skills and reliability.
We do not feel restricted by whether it is about a handmade furniture industry in Indonesia
or an art workshop in Italy. Our main concern is to make sure that we meet the high
standards of taste and quality that our customers are looking for, always at the best cost
possible.
Through every new season we feel the public's demands are growing and we believe that we
are constantly improving ourselves to offer even more to our respected customers.
Thus, as the point to welcome the third generation in our business approaches, we feel, as
the poet says, that:
<... The best is yet to come ...>
