Architectures of the contemporary hearth, the novelties tell of an increasingly efficient, flexible and customizable projectIt interprets the trends of modern life, but also the style and passions of those who live in the house.The kitchen, in an increasingly fluid relationship with the living room, continues to be centralizing and to enclose intimacy and sharing.But now it does so through more detailed performances and an emotional image capable of generating deep empathy with those who use it.The new architectures of the contemporary hearth, on show at Milan Design Week 2022, create creative connections with each of us through material textures that recall raw food, ultra-resistant finishes, intuitive technologies that facilitate the achievement of the desired results effortlessly.But also through the fascination of an aesthetics treated in a maniacal way to enhance the pleasantness of the banquet, and amplify the functionality of modular accessories, equipped backrests, shelves, container elements.Versatile and pragmatic, the new kitchens presented at the Salone del Mobile offer harmonious proportions, characterized by an elegant play of volumes, created to be dynamic and 100% customizable.A monolith made with excellent manufacturing: Oneon Kitchen, designed by Massimo Castagna and made by Henge, is a kitchen island made of Breccia Medicea dell'Acqua Santa, a material of great expressive force.A unique piece that becomes the heart of conviviality and the protagonist of the space.Daniele Lago revisits the 36e8 Kitchen, exploring its lightness, deconstructing it and leaving room for transparency and the deep visual reflections of glass.Thanks to an operation of subtraction of the material, tops, doors and handles merge into a single suspended monolith becoming imperceptible, but continuing to accommodate ultra-resistant Glass containers, available in extra-clear, gray smoky and bronze smoky finishes.An essential architecture that dialogues with the NOW pantry, characterized by doors made invisible by a patented opening and by new open cabinets with integrated lighting.The material is pure in Rossana's iconic HT50 model, designed by Massimo Castagna and reinterpreted by Simona Tagliaferri, the company's art director, combining new materials, surfaces and colors for a very high degree of customization.Within Eurocucina 2022, three settings (Los Angeles, London, Venice) show different configurations of use, from the most rigorous to the aggregations with blocks of islands connected by large snack tops, up to the theme of the portal kitchen, in which the workspace is designed as a niche between the base units and the wall units.In the minimal and refined aesthetics of HT50, thanks also to the invisible thickness of the top and the absence of handles, there is also room for the most current technology such as that used for electrified 'push-pull' openings.The Labirinto kitchen by Scic appears in a new guise, inside its Milanese showroom during the Fuorisalone.The new chromatic and stylistic look draws on the original project of the Cattaneo Design studio, inspired by the famous Masone labyrinth, in the Emilian plain.A place that represents the physical realization of Franco Maria Ricci's imagination, in which neoclassical-inspired buildings are placed next to a majestic bamboo labyrinth.That aesthetic echoes in the linearity and in the clear and defined volumes of the new Labirinto, in the simple and clear lines and in the combination of blackboard painted stainless steel with the structures in Canaletto walnut wood.But above all in the Labradorite top, a key element of the new version: a stone with a natural metallic iridescence, accentuated by the backlighting of the top that highlights its brightness, enhancing its iridescent reflections, with background colors ranging from gray to deep blue.For the occasion, Labirinto also provides a large island with base units closed by hinged doors combined with open compartments with internal lighting.Designed to meet the different needs of those who want to cook outdoors, Àtria was born from the collaboration of Abimis with Studio Delineo and Massimo Rosati, and is made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel: 100% recyclable, antibacterial, resistant to corrosion, shocks, humidity and high temperatures.Its compact configuration is completed with new storage modules that can be placed side by side, when placed on the wall, or they can live alone, when the kitchen is the central element of the space.Available in two different heights and completely customizable, the modules are available in various finishes or painted in all RAL colors, using the same techniques used in the automotive sector, for very high performance in terms of durability and resistance en plein air.In the island version, the Àtria top can be extended to create a practical snack peninsula, which, together with a wide choice of coordinated modular accessories, make it a highly versatile and functional element.An unconventional event at Milan Design Week for Very Simple Kitchen, which chooses the courtyard of the historic Milanese cultural club Arci Bellezza, to exclusively present Very Simple Bellezza, a concept dedicated to the new line of outdoor kitchens with an installation curated by the architect Davide Fabio Colaci .The colorful, flexible and sustainable world of Very Simple Kitchen thus also enters the open-air kitchen, with a collection characterized by modularity, equipped with stainless steel structures obtained with laser cutting and sheet metal bending, welding reduced to a minimum and profiles joined only by the screws.The setting is enriched by some products created in collaboration with two Italian design start-ups: the 'Times' lamps designed by From Lighting and the 'R85' chairs by Officine 27 (in the photo props by: Shop Fili, Martina Geroni, Tescoma , Design Republic).It is an extraordinary combination of geometric patterns and contrasts of light and shadow created by the duo of French architects Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty for Bisazza's StudioKO collection.Present at Design Week 22, StudioKO is inspired by the classic Italian tradition - from Pompeii to the floors of the Basilica of San Marco, to the architectural works of Gio Ponti and Piero Portaluppi - reinterpreting the natural elegance of marble with a contemporary vision.The designs are offered in three models - Module 1, Module 2 and Module 3 - each used on the floor or on the wall and available in three different colors: Chiaroscuro, Monochrome and Polychrome, with matte finish.The emotional relationship with the kitchen environment is also established with lighting.At Fuorisalone, Masiero proposes Posy, a poetic bouquet of light designed by Sara Moroni that reproduces the organic structure of a stem - a brass bar with a brushed galvanic finish - supporting a series of irregularly developed 'gems' - one or more spherical lampshades in opal glass with different diameters - elegantly simulating a branch that is about to bloom.Asymmetry and decomposition have been deliberately sought to recall the concept of movement, dynamism and lightness, recalling the cluster of inflorescences.The two new kitchen sink taps - with swivel spout and with pull-out shower - are added to the Q316 series designed by Roberto Innocenti for Zazzeri.The qualities of AISI 316L stainless steel - an eco-friendly material resistant to corrosion and with marked hygienic qualities - are best expressed in the clean and rigorous geometries, characterized by a cylindrical body and a flat barrel.And also in the knob: a choice of cylindrical, with a smooth finish that effectively becomes an extension of the faucet body, or a vane, flat and essential.Q316 is expressed in the brushed version and in different PVD finishes in the variants Carbon, Antracite, Bronzorame, Rame, Cognac and Orobianco.Six years after its first launch, NikolaTesla becomes Unplugged.Already winner of the Compasso D'Oro in 2016, improved cyclically by Elica with additional performance elements, the extractor hob designed by Fabrizio Crisà was born from the desire to create a natural and immediate relationship with the product.This is why Unplugged is controlled through fixed-click knobs, with analog touch & feel to access the features quickly and intuitively, and a texture with a perfect grip that does not allow oversights.The aesthetic with a strong character integrates all the functions designed to facilitate food preparation.Like the three automatic cooking pluses Melting, Warming and Simmering, or Autocapture, which automatically sets the most suitable air extraction power, gradually adjusting it to eliminate residual odors at the end of cooking.The powerful suction system positioned in the center of the hob guarantees high smoke uptake and, at maximum suction, the Comfort Silence technology offers minimum levels of noise disturbance.Furthermore, in the event of accidental spillage of liquids in the suction compartment, a valve allows the liquids to be discharged in total safety.A system patented by Elica then allows easy access from above to the Long Life ++ anti-odor filters, which can be regenerated up to 5 years in respect of the environment and with filtering thresholds of up to 80%.
