Over our many years in the furniture industry, KIAN has been
honoured by the trust our customers have in our ability to
deliver. That belief in our proven reliability made us what we
are today: a successful global leader of an established global
brand. We are committed to the KIAN Brand Promise.
The KIAN Brand Promise comprises three aspects:
ORIGINAL DESIGN
KIAN’s designer furniture is exclusively created for KIAN
by internationally recognised award-winning designers.
Manufactured from high quality materials in our factories,
each originally designed KIAN product satisfies the crucial
aspects of stability, durability, ergonomics and aesthetics and
must also pass our stringent QC standards before it leaves
our doors.
INTELLIGENT SOLUTIONS
We’re constantly on the lookout for new ways to make life
easier for our customers. KIAN’s intelligent solutions include
utilising advanced technology, logistics, materials and
processes to save on costs, maintenance, time and space.
We think ahead for you.
KEEPING OUR
PROMISE

PEOPLE
We have wonderful, industry-experienced people working
with us and we prize their individual skills and collective
passion. KIAN thrives on forming authentic relationships with
each other as well as with our suppliers and customers. We
also strive to operate proactively and reliably as a single unit,
with singular commitment to excellence and professionalism.
In this issue of our KIAN Newsletter, you’ll see how all three
aspects of our KIAN Brand Promise continue to shape our
thinking and the products and services we offer you. On the
Design front, we bring you a new label, nine new products,
and an exciting new development in our KIAN Design Studio
in Spain. You’ll learn about our smart Solution for faster and
easier delivery of our products to you, and we’ve added new
and expanded showrooms to allow you to examine KIAN
products in real time. Take a look too at the many projects
recently completed by our People, the backbone of our
company, for a growing list of satisfied customers.

MATERA
design by Enrique Martí

If you had to choose just one chair for both indoor and outdoor
areas, the Matera Chair would be a great choice. Made of stainless
steel and rotary-moulded LLDPE, the Matera is water-resistant,
so using it for al fresco dining poses no problems. It also saves
storage space as it’s stackable, and the simplicity of its design
makes the chair an easy fit anywhere. To have a different feel
for indoor and outdoor spaces, just choose a different colour to
distinguish between the two sets of chairs.
• Indoor & outdoor
• Stackable
• Choice of colours & finishes

ELI
design by Enrique Martí

Discreet and elegant, the versatile Eli Chair even has two
different sizes to offer. This flexibility makes the chair ideal for the
hospitality and contract markets. Move and place it anywhere
indoors where a seat is needed and it won’t look out of place. A
frame of either beech or solid oak gives the chair its strength and
sturdiness, and comfort is assured with the soft, upholstered
back and seat.
• Indoor
• Available in two sizes
• Ideal for hospitality & home markets

BUONA
design by Enrique Martí
From the simple chair to the comfortable wraparound arm chair
with an extended backrest, each of the four versions of the
Buona Chair has a sturdy shell of plywood board, luxuriously
upholstered in fabric. Slender legs of solid wood add elegance
to an attractive chair that will fit indoor environments where a
touch of refinement makes a world of difference.

• Choice of fabrics
TUCANA
design by Enrique Martí
Never again feel you have to decide between the beauty and
warmth of wood and the sensual softness of fabric. Enjoy both
in the Tucana Chair. The front-facing backrest and seat are
attractively upholstered while the back and legs of the chair show
off the charm of beech or oak wood. Little details matter too: a
small hole in the wooden backrest makes for easier handling of
the chair.
• Two different faces: wood & fabric
• Small aperture in chair back for easier handling
• Choice of beech or oak wood
