Minimalist look yet with great temperament: the pure energy of bright glass gives new vigour to grey or natural or brown oak. The choice of the finish is the distinctive feature of each kitchen, as it has to please personal tastes and at the same time ensure quality and durability. Peninsula layouts or elements are quite popular for these kitchens because they are both functional and trendy.

A unique multi-purpose functional kitchen. The structure with its open compartments can give life to real, multi-purpose back-to-wall units, where areas intended for storage alternate with hi-tech components and work areas: from the built-in oven to the sink crafted directly from the top. The sink crafted out of the Schock top has a special “step” design that attractively matches the Quadro tap. The wall panel is a practical addition to the kitchen: in this model shelves have been inserted that are particularly suitable for furnishing the room.

Giorgia kitchens are characterized by the minimalist geometry and colors of their compositions. Light and reflections are designed to create dramatic effect on these mostly peninsula compositions. The cylinder-shaped steel and glass hoods creates a sophisticated contrast with the square line of the compositions. Peculiar handles decorates the surface of doors. Columns are come with two square ovens embedded in them. Some layouts are consist only of wall-mounted cabinet solutions. Giorgia kitchens are perfect for creating “kitchen-living” environment.

The latest creation 2009 of Strato is a kitchen that highly represent its style: simple, original, and elegant as usual. This kitchen was made in Igloo system: the no-handle door opening system which gives clean shapes and uniformity of facade. The sides of the columns are in stainless steel and the fronts are in oak wood, a special and rare oak coming from the subsoil that has a smoked color naturally. The two column elements allow great freedom in placing them, they can be put next to each other of separated; the two islands also offer this flexibility, they are “C-shaped” mirror-like to each other, one contains the washing area, the other is equipped with glass-ceramic hob. At the side of the worktops we find two chopping boards of ebony wood, if the two islands were placed together they would look like a single piece. In the islands the fronts are in grey Stratocolor and the sides and the worktops are a single sheet of satin finished stainless steel. This kitchen is made up of four modules, their independence allows great freedom and flexibility, it is a useful idea for those who move quite often or who simply like to change the position to their furniture from time to time. Functionality, flexibility, geometries and balance, high quality of materials and sought after pieces. The distinguishing marks of Strato evolve and become more firm.

This programme suggests the idea of a new kitchen: urban, architectural, incredibly flexible thanks to an innovative scheme that allows many combination. Innovative are the coloured sheet-steels, the combination of steel and wood, all in a view to a kitchen that can mix lightness with very thick profiles.

The islands are strongly characterized by the tops and side panels that come from a single bent steel panel with a visible thickness of 8 mm. The contrast between these thin profiles and thicker elements distinguish the project with a strong look. Functional elements made of coloured sheet-steels create a highlight that melts with the stainless steel units and the parts made of solid natural iroko, a wood that being highly water proof and strong is ideal for a long use.

El_01 is characterized by many innovations that make it different from all other kitchens manufactured all over the world. The internal structure of the units is light grey as well as the shelves. Doors and drawers have a recessed handle. Drawers can be supplied on request with an electric mechanism for the push opening. There are many finishes available: matt and glossy lacquer, pre-composed of stained oak, steel.

This is the model that Valcucine associates with the warmth of wood and the modernity and rigor of geometric lines, of constructive technology and of top design details. Kembal is a multi-laminar wood with a slim horizontal grain that reminds one of the colors and feel of teak and is protected by water-based varnishes and treated with oil. In fact, the name is inspired by the word that is used for teak on the Java island. It is a contemporary wood type that combines perfectly with materials such as steel and gloss lacquer and can be personalized with horizontal inlays in wood or aluminum.
