Not only did they display an “alternativeminded” approach in terms of composition, material or functionality, but they also often carried the signature of a big designer making his or her debut in the field of kitchen design. Take, for example, the kitchen designed by Patricia Urquiola with Salinas, for Boffi, who presented a jigsaw puzzle of new materials to round off the volumes created by a metal framework; or Oki Sato of Studio Nendo with Ki, for Scavolini, the creator of a single-material, one-colour solution whose storage element becomes the formal prototype for the definition of the components. Another example is the design by the C+S architecture studio, which created for Elmar a series of super objects with an instantly recognisable character. For this round-up of this exciting new development, we have grouped the products into four main themes, sub-divisions that make the trend easier to interpret. ambientecucina project THE BOX SUPER-OBJECTS MATERIALS HI -TECH NEW MINIMAL OUTDOOR by Paola Leone BOFFI 4 PATRICIA URQUIOLA SHUNS TRADITIONAL DESIGN SCHEMES ON SALINAS, A NEW IDEA FOR BOFFI FEATURING A TUBULAR METAL STRUCTURE AND SOME UNEXPECTED MATERIALS A FREE APPROACH TO MATERIALS Salinas, a new design for Boffi by Patricia Urquiola. ambientecucina project BOFFI 5 Salinas brings with it a whole new approach to kitchen furniture design. This model, designed by Patricia Urquiola for Boffi is inspired by a passion for materials, a love of restraint and simplicity of construction and a strong sense of proportion. An eco-sustainable and highly innovative system, which, like a true work of modern architecture, features a distinct support structure clad in what is a quite unique combination of materials: metal, ceramic and even lava. Patricia Urquiola applies to the design a “signature” patterning of her own that gives the surface an interesting textural effect and a touch of artistic flair. CREATIVE COMPOSITIONS The main innovation introduced on this kitchen concept is the construction technique: rather than comprising the traditional chipboard units, Salinas has a square-section tubular metal structure (3x3 cm) that makes it possible to produce a range of elaborate structures. The storage and functional elements created in this way, and which can be wallmounted or free-standing, are finished off with fronts made from a matt black anodised aluminium framework and cladding panels that come in ambientecucina project a selected range of materials with a special “appeal”: metal with copper finish, aluminium, brass, zinc, vibrated aluminium; lacquerwork or lacquered cement, wood and Paperstone ®, a composite material made from recycled paper and cardboard. For the tops, Dekton ® ceramic, cement, stone, solid wood and lava with exclusive patterning. Salinas has shelves rather than wall units as such. Other characteristic details include the channel inserted into the top to house the installations, a handy place to keep things that creates à www.boffi.com additional storage space and even a small hothouse with drainage incorporated into the channel. To this can be added a system of metal shelves with built-in LED lighting. The large stone sink and pier-style wood tables add a further warm, personal touch to the kitchen. And finally, with just a simple “click”, the wooden top can be rotated diagonally and turn into a dining table to seat four. The large solid wood cutting board with rounded corners on Salinas doubles as a snack-bar. EUROCUCINA 2014 I SUPER-OBJECTS 6 CHROMATIC INTERPLAY SCHIFFINI Pampa combines the concept of the base unit, inspired by traditional kitchen design, with a series open storage units of different sizes, lacquered in bright colours, elements that are included to provide a striking visual contrast to the rest of the composition. Another feature of Pampa is the delicate groove-style handle hollowed out of the veneer, which adds an extra three-dimensional quality. Design Alfredo Häberli. à www.schiffini.com ambientecucina project EUROCUCINA 2014 I SUPER-OBJECTS 7 STRIKING ELEMENTS ELMAR @Home (design Studio C+S - Carlo Cappai and Alessandra Segantini) centres around a number of independent elements with a strong character: a large wooden table with cooking area; an organ-style hood whose pipes serve the purposes of fume extraction, lighting and audio diffusion; a dresser; a larder unit; a glasshouse; a bookcase. à www.elmarcucine.com ambientecucina project ROSSANA 8 RICHNESS AND RESTRAINT AN IDEAL REPRESENTATION OF THE WAY ROSSANA HAS DEVELOPED, THE W75 MODEL, LAUNCHED AT EUROCUCINA 2014, FEATURES A WEALTH OF EXQUISITE FINISHES. The new W75, finished with materials from the Atelier Collection ambientecucina project advertorial feature ROSSANA W75: illuminated cabinet in burnished brass with wood interior. 9 W75 is a system built on the concept of richness: in terms of its materials, its finishes and the construction technique used to build it. Stone, treated wood, special metals and a skilful use of light make W75 a quite unique system in an extremely elegant composition. The worked cabinet fronts are 26 mm thick and have diamondedged profiles that distinguish the set of separate door panels. The horizontal profiles are also diamond-edged, creating the grooves used to open the door, access to them being assisted by the slanting edge of the worktop. Its creator Massimo Castagna has once again come up with a product that exudes elegance, focusing on the interplay between different materials, thicknesses and details. This adds a touch of refinement to the volumes on W75, and ambientecucina project generates a sense of richness, yet restraint. PERSONALISING AND STANDING APART On the Rossana stand, W75 was presented with the luxurious finishes of Atelier Collection for a personalised kitchen. On this occasion, W75 was seen clad with fronts in dark, heat-treated eucalyptus with worktop in semi-polished Breche Nouvelle stone, and fitted with special storage units that can be used on all Rossana models. One example is the illuminated wall unit with unframed tempered glass fronts, combining burnished brass on the outside with wood on the inside, available also in lacquerwork. Others include the open units on the worktop, with stone back, or the coloured glass cabinets finished in burnished brass. To say nothing of the magnificent free-standing cabinet, in wood and glass, and the hood that descends from the ceiling, only when required.

A SPECIALITY WHICH MAKES THE AUSTRIAN FIRM A TOP BRAND PURE WOOD GETS STYLISH TREATMENT The new Loft kitchen presented at Eurocucina 2014, in wild walnut. ambientecucina project advertorial feature TEAM 7 11 The undying beauty of natural solid wood returns to prominence as the chosen material for Team 7’s kitchen collection, with the new model it presented at Eurocucina 2014: Loft. Designed by Sebastian Desch, Loft expresses the excellence that can be achieved in working wood, a skill on which this Austrian firm has built the strength of its brand. Founded 55 years ago for the production of furniture in wood (which it made its vocation), Team 7 uses only timber from broad-leafed trees grown sustainably in managed forests, and just seven types of wood: walnut, cherry, oak, maple, wild beech, beech and alder. The version on display at the Milan fair was made of wild walnut, and featured a magnificent island that suggested a convivial way of enjoying the kitchen space, with the passion for good dining ambientecucina project The front of Loft’s island unit; to the rear, the wall units. mirrored in the tasteful, high-quality furnishings. MATERIALS AND DETAILS Formal restraint and authentic materials: these are the two aspects that come together to make Loft, a model in the urban country style. Solid wood and cement come together in a design that displays extreme attention to detail, with sleek contouring and hi-tech features. The ultra-functional island unit has a sink and cooktop set into the work surface, along with a solid wood cutting board, and underneath has generous open shelving, designed as a space in which to display tableware and ornaments, and an ideal element to interface the island and the rest of the kitchen with a living area. The wall composition is enhanced with special elements that offer a high level of ergonomic: the smoked glass front of the wall unit slides open vertically, the lighting is LED, the tall unit is a pull-out system. Loft also offers a number of small containers for herbs and utensils, made of steel or one of the seven Team 7 timbers. In common with all Team 7 kitchens, Loft is also available with glass fronts and worktops in quartz, ceramic, granite, cement. à www.team7.at/it/home Loft in wild oak: detail of the wooden cutting board set into the worktop. BVA advertorial feature 12 A NEW BRAND, BVA, DRAWS ON A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE TO PRODUCE THE THREE INNOVATIVE KITCHEN PROJECTS IT PRESENTED AT MILAN. SCAVA, VOGUE AND FUGA, DESIGNED BY MAMA-STUDIO, ARE MODELS THAT BRING GREAT CHARACTER AND QUALITY AND ARCHITECTURAL FLAIR TO THE KITCHEN. HI-TECH TAILORING Sawn silver oak, satin finish steel and Fokos Piombo lamigress define the identity of Scava, which has a handle hollowed out of the thickness of the front. ambientecucina project BVA Total white for Fuga, whose handle appears only when required. 13 Bottom, a sophisticated blend of Ink Blue lacquerwork, Ice finish steel and Rosewood for the Vogue kitchen. One of the most interesting presences at Milan was surely that of new brand BVA, the brainchild of Antonio Arangiaro created with the technological know-how of well-established brand Binova. Three models were presented, each with a personality of its own, but all displaying the same highly tailored look and the utmost attention to detail. First of all Scava, whose design features three materials that blend the exquisite with the hi-tech: sawn, brushed silver oak used for the cabinet doors, satin-finish 18/10 stainless steel for the tall units and Fokos Piombo lamigress for the worktop. The handle is hollowed out of the depth of the front, highlighting its thickness: the worktop has a drip-catching edge. With its professional laboratory-like functionality, Fuga stands out for its totally coherent aesthetic restraint. Produced in a single colour – total white – Fuga comprises a rear base unit space broken up into a series of functional storage units of different sizes. ambientecucina project The handles are hidden away inside the fronts, cleverly reappearing when needed – a design detail that exemplifies the care and attention the firm has lavished on the model.A handle incorporated vertically into a front made of rosewood is the distinctive graphic feature of Vogue, whose doors have a glossy Ink Blue lacquered finish. à www.bvadesign.it The firm’s advanced know- how is also expressed through the sliding top (also made of rosewood) on the island unit. A simple control retracts the top to reveal the cooking and washing areas and create a snack bar. Wood is also used for the storage units, which are accessed directly from the worktop, in 6mm-thick Ice finish steel. EUROCUCINA 2014 I MATERIALS 14 SUPER-RESISTANT CERAMIC MAISTRI A single-material look for Giza, whose name was chosen to convey a sense of both durability and unmistakable style. The design uses stone and natural granite, or the new Lapitec , a hi-tech ceramic that offers considerable mechanical strength. The panels of the sliding pan drawers cut at 45 create a highly compact volumetric effect. Design Alberto Minotti. à www.maistri.it ambientecucina project EUROCUCINA 2014 I MATERIALS 15 ECO-CHIC VALCUCINE Environmentally-friendly and fully recyclable, Riciclantica now features a Linea C6 glass top, and organised boiserie panels with the so-called ”millennium tactile” oak finish, designed to house the systems and featuring the touch steel finish (sanded, burnished and protected with nano-technologies) of the panels with their characteristic fronts and structural aluminium frame.

Gamma78 in particular features fronts edged with a moulded horizontally-ribbed glass surround with a slightly irregular surface. Gamma extends to the living area and bathroom and is ideal for contract projects.

The collection stands out in particular for an exquisite new detail: jewel-like control knobs for the cooktop and oven that are linear in à www.franke.it design but shine like diamonds against the glass, a highly sophisticated design detail that combines with the model advanced technological content. The Crystal cooktop has five high-efficiency burners, a 3,600 W triple crown and removable magnetic heat shield, which ensures that the knobs always stay cool.
