NOW

Kriptonite is still loyal to the totally handcrafted production of its Milanese headquarters. Whether wall-mounted or used as free-standing dividers, nowadays Kriptonite systems suits every need in terms of customization, versatility and space.

WHERE

Kriptonite spaces are the same as twenty years ago. Kriptonite is divided between its showroom, right in the heart of Milan’s fashion district, where you can touch the finish of each piece, and the headquarters, home to logistics and production.
