About Us
Ever wonder what happens to your morning coffee grounds? Most end up in landfills, quietly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. But what if those same grounds could become the foundation of your next luxury furniture piece? That’s exactly what we’re doing at Krisette & Co. We’re a Toronto-based design house that transforms reclaimed coffee grounds into stunning, high-end furniture through our innovative Bunn Line. Because we believe luxury shouldn’t come at the expense of our planet.
Founded by designer Krisette Santamaria, our studio has been turning heads in the design world since day one. We’ve been featured multiple times in DesignLines Magazine, and the Globe & Mail named us one of the best design houses to watch in 2024. But accolades aren’t what drive us—it’s the belief that beautiful furniture can be both sustainable and luxurious. Here’s what makes us different: our materials are reclaimed or diverted from landfill. We’re not just creating furniture; we’re creating a new way of thinking about waste.
Why Coffee?
Coffee has a rich history of fueling innovators, designers, and visionaries around the world. It’s been the backdrop to countless creative breakthroughs and late-night brainstorming sessions. Now, we’re giving coffee a second life—transforming it from morning ritual to lasting legacy. Plus, let’s be honest: coffee waste is a massive problem. When coffee grounds hit the landfill, they become a significant source of greenhouse gases. We’re changing that narrative, one elegant piece at a time.
We’re here to prove that sustainability and luxury aren’t mutually exclusive. Every piece in our Bunn Line carries the legacy of the coffee bean into a new chapter—one where environmental responsibility meets impeccable design. Ready to see what happens when waste becomes wonder?
