## About

Based in Milan, and founded in 2018 by co-founders Italy, Krill Design, Ivan Calimani, Yack H. Di Maio and Martina Lamperti, Krill Design creates home and office accessories through 3D printing technology, utilizing materials such as orange peels, lemon peels, and coffee grounds. In February 2024, Krill Design raised EUR 6 million in series A funding from investors Primo Capital, Crédit Agricole Italy, and Algebris Investments. Krill Design’s product catalog includes collections such as I AM, Ribera, Amalfi, and Naples, which feature design objects made from Rekrill materials. The company’s offerings include lamps, desk accessories, and home decor items, each made from different types of organic waste. Rekrill Orange is derived from orange peels, while Rekrill Lemon is created from lemon peels. The Naples collection utilizes coffee waste to produce products that retain a subtle coffee aroma. These products are designed using 3D printing technology, ensuring that only necessary quantities are produced to minimize excess material usage. Krill Design generates revenue primarily through direct-to-consumer online sales and partnerships with businesses. The company sells its products via its official website and offers discounts on bulk purchases. The product ranges from USD 12 to USD 322. The company will use the February 2024 funding to expand its product line, grow into other markets, and be more aggressive in advocating for sustainability.
