Cristel Benito
Martin Benito was born into a family of expert perfume bottle makers, well known since the 1920s. He started cutting crystal at the age of 14, and in 1952 founded Cristal Benito, having trained his father and two brothers to cut crystal instead of glass, and taking them into his workshop to practice alongside him
Cristal Benito is the art of hand-cut crystal, passed down from father to son over three generations. Since 1952, Jose, Martin and Franck now create unique pieces and limited editions for decorators, interior designers, luxury stores, hotels and palaces, yachts
At the head of the company since 2004, Franck Benito, Master of Art, keeps the art of cut crystal alive for a renowned international clientele, innovates in the creation of new styles of cutting and finishing while continuing to develop his own collections.
Timeless, Cristal Benito's creations, in classic, art deco or contemporary style, sign elegant and luxurious interiors: wall sconces, vases, bowls, perfume eggs, caviar bars, but also spirit bottles and glasses, jewelry boxes, bathroom accessories... are all entirely handmade in Franck Benito's workshop in Colombes (92), France
