Guest Post - Kitchen Design Trends for 2014
The 2014 International Design Week took
place in Milan. From the main exhibition called” Salone del mobile” located in
Rho at few kilometres of Milan centre to other many events as “Romeo and Juliet
2.0” (featuring Fontanot’s exterior
spiral staircase) or “Baas in Town” by Maarten Baas, the city was
definitely full of life. Mainly working
as a photographer, I have been contacted by Mondadori,
the biggest publishing editor in Italy, to realise a photo reportage on the
last design trends and technologies from all over the world.
For the Norse White’s blog, I have decided
to dedicate my pictures of the most beautiful kitchens noticed during the
exhibit.
1. My favourite Italian brand for kitchen is
without any doubt “Toncelli”. The talented Studio Carlesi Design has designed
his latest kitchen. The team has combined beautifully simplicity and new
technologies incorporating advanced home automation systems, made in fibre
without grooves and handles. The lacquered black colour is elegant, giving a
minimalist style and a contemporary atmosphere to the kitchen. Equipped with
high technology appliances with tactile surfaces, the tasks of the modern
housewives are definitely facilitated.
The large hood is incorporating several soft lights which adds a real
something to the overall look of this kitchen.
2. With a totally different design, the
Elmar Pavillon is focusing on natural wooden elements. My favourite piece is the
oak wood and titanium kitchen table designed by the studio C+S Architects (Diego
Collini, Alessandro Mimola, and Davide Testi). The lines are simple but
perfectly studied with its 6 feet and the hood enabled to play music, enlighten
the cook’s work and of course aspired cooking smells.
3. As my third chose I have chosen the
brand Ernestomeda. The last kitchen line called “Soul” deigned by the Italian
Giuseppe Bavuso is functional, traditional and also compact with the first
target of being practical. Studied for the users to get everything at their
fingertips, the sink is large; the main table has several extra storage and
accessories to have as much space as possible.
To conclude the dedicated teams of the
presented kitchen brands used their creativity to not only entertain their
customers but also to give them the best quality materials as aluminium, marble,
timber, carbon and wood.
