This “awakening” in the world and in the Mediterranean aura is that people of Candia want to bring to all of you that choose a Candia product. Any creation is a tribute to our roots, it is the transubstantiation into a resting experience inspired by everything we love and enjoy upon the earth and into the sea of the Mediterranean. And so, they create for you mattresses of “dreams” to offer you a sleep so good and restful, that when you wake up you feel ready to enjoy every moment of the day full of energy and good spirits.
How it all started / Candia was established in 1973 by Charalambos and Emmanouel Velivasakis. In a short period, faithful to the value of a good sleep, persistent about quality and love of nature, they managed to expand their activities. In 1980 they move the enterprise to their own building at the Spata region.Nowadays, a second generation keeps the family tradition going with the same drive and love but also with new ideas. Going through its fourth decade of operation, Candia offers innovative solutions and high quality sleep products that can serve the needs of a family but also of up to a large hotel.
VISIONNAIRES
THE PEOPLE OF CANDIA ARE UNCOMPROMISING FOR QUALITY, PASSIONATE AND DETERMINED TO CREATE INNOVATIVE AND RELIABLE SLEEP PRODUCTS. IN THE HEART OF EVERY CANDIA MATTRESS YOU WILL FIND EXACTLY THE SAME AS IN THE HEARTS OF THEIR PEOPLE: A PASSION FOR PERFECTION! THEIR VISION IS TO ALWAYS OFFER ABSOLUTE QUALITY AND SLEEP EXPERIENCE, TO MAKE MATTRESSES THAT GRANT SUCH A SATISFYING AND REVIVING SLEEP SO THAT ANYONE WHO WAKES UP IS REFRESHED AND READY TO ENJOY EACH MOMENT OF THE DAY FILLED WITH ENERGY AND A GOOD MOOD.
The combination of experience, technological adequacy, and also the materialisation of reliable and high-quality products, results in our swift development and presence with 100 stores in Greece and abroad. In specific, our entry to foreign markets took place with the innovative category of Bodyfix handmade mattresses, which are made from 100% natural materials and exclusively by hand. Currently, Candia is present in 10 countries, in Europe and Asia, with a total of 27 stores.
Inspired by nature, made by hand / The people of the Mediterranean always “talk” with their hands. The hand is their way of expression and creativity. And perhaps the only way they know due to their long tradition, which leads to a flawless «creation», to perfection. This is why in the Mediterranean the love for anything handmade remains alive and priceless. Fast paces of life and the ever growing demands of the modern age have imposed industrial processes that often create products of a lower quality compared to handmade.
In a world of mass production of mattresses, Candia dares to differ, based on its belief that there is only one way to create a true masterpiece: by hand! Nothing else can replace the quality and unparalleled feeling of a handmade mattress. No machine can replace its specialised mattress craftsmen, their skills, their experience and commitment. And in Candia, the collaborators always have a leading role. They are Mediterranean people, passionate, uncompromising for quality and always work with a vision and determination until they reach an absolute result.
100% natural materials / Nature offers the best materials with unique properties and beneficial ingredients and Candia… simply trusts it. For the unique handmade mattresses of the BODYFIX collection they use exclusively unprocessed natural materials, without using any chemical substances. The company’s craftsmen, with their long experience and fine know-how, place the natural materials with artistry and patience so that the properties of each material are brought out. In this way they create “dream” mattresses, ready to offer a unique feeling while you are sleeping and the reviving Mediterranean aura as you wake up.
Olive Oil Treatment. A unique innovation / Worldwide, it’s the only company that processes fabrics with olive oil (Olive Oil Treatment). This is an innovation for which they are proud, since it proves their dedication to quality and their never-ending attempt to develop sleep systems. Through this processing, the fabric offers antibacterial protection and all the beneficial qualities of olive oil, known since ancient times for its beneficial qualities towards the skin. The beneficial use of olive oil is deeply rooted in the past and the history of the Mediterranean. Greeks and Egyptians used it for medical and beautification reasons: massage, revitalization, creation of fragrances, balsams etc. The acidity of olive oil is compatible to that of our skin. As a result, this ancient product is ideal to offer the skin a soft velvet feeling, while protecting from free radicals that cause the signs of aging.
