Drawing from the war-time necessity to engineer whatever was needed from whatever was available, Krost continues to push beyond the ordinary. Today the substance of its innovations is matched by their distinctive style.

Simplicity

 

Subtle, yet striking. For actuaries and artists, financiers and flimmakers... Krost's beautifully engineered accessories make a statement in die workplace without overwhelming it.

 

Aesthetic

 

Productivity is enhanced by beautiful surroundings - as valid in the workplace as it is in the artist's studio. Whether classic or ultra-contemporary, solid wood or sensuous steel, every Krost accessory has aesthetic appeal.

 

Contemporary

 

Sleek curves and bold lines. Punctuated with perforations, flutes, grooves and studs. Krost products are carefully crafted to add a striking, modern dimension to any work space.

Our History

On Trend.... Yet Timeless

In the 60 years since Barney Krost and his brothers first opened for business in downtown Johannesburg, the company has morphed from a WW2 manufacturer of steel utility products into South Africa's leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of uber-stylish office furniture and accessories.

While much about our business has changed in the inventing years, its foundation lies in our three core values of Quality, Integrity and Reliability.  This is illustrated by the Knight in armour - the original brand - which signifies our heritage and our philosophy that products should be made to last.

The solid foundation laid by our grandfather and uncles was entrenched in the 1980's - by our father, David and his brother Cecil - when the breathed new life into the Krost brand by capatalising in the trend for quality office accessories.

Now, as the third generation of Krost brothers to lead the brand, these values remain central to our business and are evident in every one of our own signiture Krost Office Products ranges, as well as the distributed products we have carefully selected to complement them.  The red square displayed on each page denotes our continuing pride in our heritage, our commitment to the same quality promis and reflects the deliberate fusion of functionality and style thas has always been the hallmark of everything Krost designs and manufactures.

We hope you love this collection and look forward to helping you create distinctive and stylish workplaces that will inspire all those who use them!
