Honored with the A' Design Award.
Cristina Falcon is a Spanish designer with a background in the film industry, specializing in Character animation for VFX/animation. After working on international productions around the world, she decided to pursue her long-standing passion for product design. SKÅGFÄ was born from real family needs. It started with baby essentials like blankets, burp cloths, and bibs. As her children grew, their needs evolved — leading to a desire to cook together, explore new foods, encourage healthy eating, and spend meaningful time as a family. The KLYV children's knife is the result of that journey — a product created to support child development in a safe, fun, and conscious way. Her design philosophy blends the simplicity of Scandinavian design with the vibrant spirit of Mediterranean color, with a strong focus on functionality and high quality design. Following the success of KLYV, she is currently working on a new collection to be launched soon.

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.
Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.
Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
