Nearly a century between chain links and emotions

At Kriskadecor we have been transforming a simple idea into a design language that connects emotions and spaces for almost a century. Our story began in 1926, in Montblanc (Tarragona), when a young inventor set out to create a machine to join chain links, and ended up designing the first metal chain curtains that, without knowing it, would mark the beginning of a legacy.

Since then, three generations of the Sans family have turned that invention into a brand present in more than 90 countries. What was once a practical solution to prevent insects from entering homes and businesses in the Mediterranean, today shapes the interiors of hotels, offices and stores around the world. Because beyond functionality, we seek to create spaces with emotion, identity and beauty. You can read our innovation story here.

Special Mention for a history of innovation, design and roots

In 2024 we received a Special Mention in the Design and Business category at the National Innovation and Design Awards, a recognition that highlights precisely that: how design can transform a craft into an innovative, flexible and aesthetically unique industrial product.

To celebrate this, we have created a visual piece that takes us on a journey in the blink of an eye: from summers on the porch of a family home to projects signed by internationally renowned architects and designers. And with it, we go one step further: we leave behind our previous slogan “Linking Ideas” to embrace what truly defines us today: “Linking Emotions”.

A tribute to our roots, to the passion for detail and to a philosophy we still strongly believe in: “There is nothing that can’t be done, you just have to find a way”.
