When it comes to kitchens, classic and modern styles are often considered two alternative ways, destined not to meet. Made in Italy brands
selected in our showrooms
, however, show that net of different characteristics it is now increasingly common to see a contamination between these two styles.
A classic, elegantly designed kitchen, for example, can become timeless thanks to certain traits that are now linked to the quest for modernity, such as constant experimentation to find the most cutting-edge materials or the flexibility that has become increasingly important in the contemporary home environment.
Dada, Arclinea and Boffi are among the best brands of Made in Italy kitchens that we select because they are able to offer products with handcrafted quality, but in step with modern standards not only in terms of design, but also in terms of attention to the most advanced production techniques and technologies.
MODERN KITCHENS: THE SELECTION OF SAG’80
Thinking about the modern kitchen, the island is certainly one of the most essential elements for contemporary customers, who are increasingly interested in having a room that, unlike in the past, creates continuity with other domestic spaces.
Relying on the experience and creativity of Vincent Van Duysen,
Dada
has produced Intersection, one of the designs that most successfully brings modernity to the kitchen in every possible facet. The interplay of proportions and thicknesses between the various elements capable of creating alternating light and shadow, the use of materials such as natural stone Breccia Capraia, and details such as the presence of a groove that allows doors and drawers to be opened without handles help to form an environment in which different materials and styles coexist with a balance that is difficult to recreate.
Also offered by Dada, Ratio represents the evolution of the modular kitchen, where the protagonist is the structure. Metal lattices design the architecture of base units, wall units, columns, hoods and accessories. Full volumes, empty volumes, and planes of different thicknesses engage with the slender and minimal structural technical elements, creating an extraordinary play of balance. Designed by Vincent Van Duysen, it is a kitchen with unique aesthetic features in which seemingly contrasting elements are blended
CLASSIC KITCHENS: SAG’80’S SELECTION
Boffi’s Xila kitchen is the perfect example of how classic and modern can, at times, not only embrace but enhance each other. Created in 1972, this model possesses unique features for the time and daughters of the intuition of Luigi Massoni, who for the first time proposed making wall and base cabinets without handles, equipped instead with a push-pull opening. This quality, integrated into a modular system that already anticipated the importance of flexibility in the kitchen, has consigned Xila to the category of timeless classics, allowing this model to keep its essence intact despite the improvements that have taken place over the years through the use of the latest materials and the new finishes available.
But when talking about classic kitchens, it is also impossible not to think of Arclinea and the Italia model, designed by Antonio Citterio and presented in 1988. Again, it was the designer’s ability to anticipate some of the trends that would shape the future, such as the use of steel, deeper tops or the ability to create custom configurations, that helped make Italia a classic that is still on the market today.
Modern or classic, the best Made in Italy designer kitchens are waiting for you in our showrooms.
