Dada kitchens, between functionality and visual appeal
(Shadow play, space, design and technology)
Redesigning spaces, lines and functions is essential in any part of an apartment, and this cannot be missed in what is the living focus of the home: the kitchen. The theater of every important moment-intimate and familiar-must be able to live by the same vibrant energy, give the same harmony as the rest of the house.
Then this is where style fully blends with furniture lines, making a usual space special and innovative.
This is the trademark of Dada Molteni, a company of excellence in avant-garde kitchens, thanks to pillars such as masters Vincent Van Duysen, Ferruccio Laviani, Nicola Galizia, and Luca Meda.
The former, Vincent Van Duysen, an undisputed master in the fusion of architecture and design; Laviani, a valuable designer for Dada Molteni; and Nicola Galizia, who has long been in charge of the artistic direction of Molteni&C. Not forgetting Luca Meda, the backbone of the Molteni Group conceiver and creator of iconic projects in the world of design.
A space between light and shadow – Intersection
Van Dusen’s excellent design for 2021 is Intersection a kitchen in which light and shadow play to a skillful work of enhancing colors and raw materials, the solidity of countertops meets with almost impalpable materials of sections created as if on clay. The ability to mix colors between laminate and wood allows for incredible customization and variety, tactile and visual sensations.
But it is also geometry that brings this project to life, thanks to wood textures imprinted on the doors that break up the static nature of the surfaces, never trivializing it, rather enhancing its compactness.
Intersection boasts of being the 2021 finalist product at the NYCxDesign Awards – Kitchen Cabinetry Category.
The kitchen between technology and design
VVD is the kitchen that expresses, in the linear simplicity of forms designed with slender sides,technological integration with the use of LEDs and the use of aluminum to chisel the outline of the cabinet.
In the mind of its creator, Vincent Van Duysen, it is designed to be a kitchen with a glabrous face, without a handle. The use of stone emphasizes the strength of the countertop, gracefully interrupting the linearity of the countertop. The frame together with drawers, trolleys and trays allows space completely above the top, completing the design with elegance and functionality. To provide ample breathing space and reward ease of use, the pivot hinge allows 180° opening.
The eye is lost in looking at the entire structure thanks to the Bright Wall Units made of clear glass.
The warmth of the Mediterranean among kitchen spaces: Ratio
To enter the temple of kitchens there is Ratio a kitchen with a strong character and decisive impact, with a modular structure that is articulated by metal lattices, tops of different sizes and thicknesses that are interwoven with elements that create slender and thin lines, empty and full spaces in a design balance that plays between discordant balances.
Materials are focused on evoking Mediterranean warmth and atmosphere, skillfully combining wood with stone. An ideal kitchen for those who love this kind of atmosphere.
Hi-Line 6 Frame Door and Hi-Line 6
Hi-Line 6 project with an evocative name by Ferruccio Laviani makes simplicity its greatest strength. High-quality finishes along with a titan aluminum and pewter frame. The VVD intregrated hood, along with a new shelf system and Hi-Line6 snack with light and black oak solids, enrich this kitchen in a clever play of shadows.
All the space in front of your eyes with Prime
For those who love aesthetics Prime is the triumph of it, thanks to its countless variations even the most sophisticated palate will find the right piece in the right place. Stunning with its throat opening that follows the kitchen a its entirety abandoning on the reported sides rewarding, again, the most total customization.
The doors are real gems in this project starting with the glass door in bronze and smoked finishes for the Fair wall units and columns, highlighted by concealed LEDs, both in terms of the upper shaped door, which allows easy 45-degree opening.
Prime’s top is in the new dark walnut finish and complemented by a titan and pewter aluminum snack. For comfortable seating with great design value, the Woody stools by Francesco Meda complete this composition with a masterstroke. Francesco Meda, in fact, signs the entire seating collection for Molteni&C.
The power of simplicity between the doors of INDada
There are those who like clean spaces. a few elements that are well arranged but can enhance the space they occupy, so there is no better choice than the INDada kitchen by Nicola Galizia. The elements of this project are gradually reduced, subtracted to the perfect form, carefully choosing the necessary and prominent elements.
In the “purity of simplicity,” Galizia reinvents INDada in a modern and sophisticated way by adding the new and more harmonious finishing pieces by Molteni&C
A true artistic path merges in blending colors, materials of different fashions and textures, and forms of furniture.
A kitchen suspended in the clouds: Banco
In the kitchen initially conceived by Luca Meda, the essential was favored, in order to facilitate the activities carried out around the kitchen itself. With the encounter with Dada, the new Banco was enriched with contrasts, drawing through black and white materials the definition of boundaries and spaces. The worktop with an almost impalpable thickness stands out against a solid aluminum plate, setting the boundary of the surrounding volumes and offsetting them.
Like a cloud bank, the structure is suspended, linear like a horizon over the sea and then planting itself on the ground with the structure of its bases, while the island supports the sub-banks.
Imposing and intangible: an imposing core concealed by a cloud and an aluminum frame.
