The soul of the Opera Collection by Cristalique is wood.
The red spruce forests of Val di Fiemme are the protagonists of a union that binds nature to artisanal art to create a truly unique design element.
The sound of Cristalique Opera is not merely heard—it is perceived through all the senses. The hidden harmony that brings together the voice of nature, the purity of water, the tradition of violin making, and technological innovation is an experience lived with every sip.
Everyday gestures gain a new and valuable connection to the essence of the elements.
This is a journey through forest silences, artisanal mastery, and invisible technology that turns water into a symphony of emotions.
Cristalique Opera stands out as more than just a design water dispenser; it embodies the heartbeat of nature on the wall of an extraordinary space.
At the origin, the music that only nature could capture
The red spruce forests of Val di Fiemme stand out for their extraordinary characteristics within the Dolomite woods. Nourished by silence, the wood fibers grow slowly. Nature works with symmetry and precision to enhance their ability to reflect sound like no other wood.
It is in these forests that the musicality of immortal instruments was born, with echoes that never fade. For centuries, these trees have hidden within their fibers the soul of the finest bows and violins, including those of Maestro Stradivari.
The bond between red spruce from Val di Fiemme and music has deep roots. With Cristalique Opera, the branches stretch toward innovation.
The symphony written in these woods becomes the face of a unique design work, created to enrich exclusive environments.
The exceptional quality of resonance wood
But simply being red spruce is not enough to embody the spirit of sound. Being a tree in a forest nestled among the Dolomite peaks is not sufficient. Few specimens pass the test of time and symmetry; even fewer are capable of fulfilling their destined role.
The growth of each tree and the entire forest must follow a particular path: the wood fibers must be nourished by wind, silence, and emotion to record in their core the memory of this landscape.
The wood that vibrates and becomes music is resonance wood. Over time, it has recorded albums, filled theaters, and stirred emotions in drawing rooms.
With unique physical and anatomical characteristics, red spruce from Val di Fiemme has earned its place for its ability to deliver authentic, pure sound.
Among countless shrubs, just two or three are chosen by nature for their perfect growth, which only the most skilled artisans can recognize and transform into musical instruments of incomparable value.
Artisan expertise unites knowledge and nature
Being able to identify exactly which tree hides such perfection is no simple task. Selecting and enhancing it through expert craftsmanship requires even more skill.
Only artisans who have learned to listen to the voice of wood can distinguish the right timbre hidden within the bark’s ridges and grooves.
That’s why felling a red spruce in Val di Fiemme is a responsibility entrusted to just a few experts, always with respect for nature and sustainability.
The skill of unique master artisans has given this wood new life.
Able to reproduce sound without acoustic boxes, this red spruce has returned to center stage with the contemporary “Sound Works”: harmonic boards created by the exceptional luthier Fabio Ognibene.
This was the inspiration for Cristalique’s Opera Collection: the union of sound held within nature and the wisdom of craftsmanship.
Stradivari and the great luthiers
The great luthiers of the past recognized excellence in the physical, acoustic, and mechanical properties of red spruce fibers from Val di Fiemme.
Above all, Stradivari chose these forests to craft violins capable of elevating sound and offering the listener purity and emotional depth.
Master violinmakers have long created unique and unrepeatable musical instruments. Similarly, the Opera selection is rigorous: five years of growth followed by twenty years of seasoning after felling.
Cristalique gathers this traditional knowledge and blends it with clean lines to shape the Opera Collection—a tribute to sound and to elegance written by nature.
Cristalique Opera: from the purity of sound to the purity of water
Suspended between centuries-old wood and minimalist design with a distinctly contemporary character, Opera is the Collection that brings water’s purity back into contact with nature.
The surface of Cristalique Opera offers a tactile experience that combines the power of wood with the gentleness of sound and music.
Available in two finishes—one light and subtle that reflects the crisp forest air, and one warmer and deeper that recalls the varnish of a fine violin.
Opera is a design detail that brings nature’s strength and vitality into luxury environments with a refined and elegant style, like the harmonious sound that inspired it.
To merely contemplate it would be reductive. This dispenser reinterprets the elements and the language of nature to offer countless variations in both water temperature and carbonation.
The elegance of sound, with Cristalique Opera, becomes harmony of pleasure.
When technology meets nature to enhance it
Nature, art, and technology come together in Cristalique Opera.
Filtration, purification, and carbonation technologies are enclosed within the fibers of a noble, living wood.
This is the material we chose to maintain the purity and integrity of water while celebrating its most authentic qualities.
Cristalique Opera is our symphony to give voice to water—restoring it to its essence with a profile that pays homage to nature and art, and an innovative soul that elevates the experience of beauty.
A symphony for the senses: the Opera Collection
To welcome Opera into a space or a design project is more than an aesthetic gesture.
It expresses a desire to embody the profound connection between humans and the elements.
With this Cristalique Collection, we chose a unique material with exceptional properties, shaped by conscious Master artisans.
To give form to an essence that contains the sound of perfection, we could only choose the voice of an incomparable wood.
