Throughout his career as an industrial designer, Xavi has learnt to observe and come up with solutions. He has looked for the perfect setting to work in, as everything is much easier when you are surrounded by inspiration that helps you design. So, when he discovered an industrial warehouse surrounded by green spaces, he decided to find the appropriate solution to change it into his home.

The project to fit out the industrial warehouse was no easy task, as special places also have special requirements. Xavi wanted to keep the charm of the surroundings and the industrial feel of the warehouse. He therefore designed the house with large windows, wood teams and installations on view that were kept as an essential feature of the house. The key to the design was based on the understated elegance of the chosen materials: cement, wood and metal, together with the framework provided by the garden.

In such a magnificent setting for the kitchen, it was decided to install a large central kitchen island and semi-columns for storage placed in the back on novel pedestals. The steel worktops enhances the industrial look of the whole composition and leaves household appliances, such as the fridge or oven, on show. The aluminium solution finished in titanium gives the kitchen a huge sensation of space where to cook and move around freely, with limitless storage in drawers and in columns. This kitchen is designed by and for Xavi. All the details make it a welcoming place for living.

In occasion of Milan Design Week 2009 Marco Gorini, world famous designer, enriches Strato’s collection with the introduction of STRATO 015, hard to resist to the charm of this kitchen, inimitable in style. STRATO 015 is a new piece of work standing out for the attention to details and for the choice of precious materials, those have always been characterizing the brand, icon of Made in Italy . The achievement of this extraordinary piece, a sober and elegant creation marked by a refined game of lights where glassy and opaque surfaces are alternated in balance and harmony, was permitted by experienced craftsmanship together with technical know-how, carefully preserved in the factory, in Talamona. Marco Gorini has conceived Strato 015 keeping to a logic of modules and to a mainly horizontal development to guarantee absolute comfort and to satisfy the needs of those who adore living the contemporary kitchen environment with style and personality. STRATO 015 is composed of two operative areas and a turning 360 degrees island offering the greatest freedom in use and excellent flexibility. The satin finished stainless steel worktop is a wide operative area containing two washing basins; underneath the deep and ample drawers are made in black stratocolor, a superior quality laminate whom Marco Gorini immediately understood resistance and practicalness; over the top a sliding in horizontal sense with an easy folding opening system wall unit. The worktop is contiguous to a satin finished stainless steel structure containing two columns incorporating the fridge and useful shelves. STRATO 015’s cooking area is in the second worktop whose deep drawers are hanging, thus enhancing a sense of lightness and matching the geometric character of the other elements. The wall covering is a mirror, aimed at letting light into the domestic environment throughout a considered contrast between opacity and transparence , and to support the vanity of the kitchen user. Oven and dishwasher are easily accessible through a special satin finishes stainless steel “big el” shaped sliding door, this one-block steel also incorporates the hood. The black stratocolor island rotates 360 degrees and it is “big el” shaped: shelves are in the base and can be reached through elegant extra mirror steel sliding doors; the top is made of two materials whose unification point is silky at the touch, this smoothness is typical of Strato’s junction between different materials and it is achieved thanks to manual finishing, in this case we have black B1 stratocolor for the overhang to be used as a table, and absolute black diorite, very resistant material with which the island offers further room for preparing and laying food. STRATO 015, extraordinarily beautiful, is 100% chic design. It introduces some innovative solutions and is doomed to mark, once again, Strato’s collections uniqueness, finding in Marco Gorini, the company founder, the representative and the inspiring man.
