EMETRICA

Lacquered kitchen with handles, design by Alessandro Andreucci, Christian Hoisl

Emetrica’s minimalist elegance generates a style of harmonious restraint, expressed by discreet lines drawn by horizontal grip grooves and full-height handles, that blend into the surrounding environment with original, highly functional features. The doors, handles, hoods and work-tops are all especially thin, giving the kitchen a distinctive appearance. Emetrica is also uniquely tactile, thanks to the warmth and temperament of the wood-effect surfaces with Hi-melamine finish, a pleasure to touch.

TONCELLI, AN EXAMPLE OF STYLE AND ELEGANCE IN THE MARKET

“Over 50 years of history require us to safeguard our artistic heritage, our traditions, our secrets, our knowledge so that they are transmitted to future generations.”

Toncelli pursues its history creating unique and inimitable products. The continuous search for exclusive materials has actually created the difference and led the way forward. Hence the choice of ITALIAN MANUFACTURING as identity of the factory: “the work of man”.

The quality of Toncelli lays in continuous processes that transform the material and make it a unique piece thanks to our craftmanship. Giving life to the materials identifies the idea of making the product. “We do not use the materials but we forge them in our own image and likeness. Each kitchen has a unique and unrepeatable history"

 has following collections:

WIND

THE CHARACTER OF WIND IS THE INDICATION OF A REFINED DESIGN

Recognizable by its handmade beveled door. Minimal design, but full of charm. The tops seem to be floating and light while still using massive materials like cement mousse or the most precious natural stones.

 

INVISIBILE

A PROJECT DEFINED BY THE STRENGTH OF MATERIAL

The technology employed in applications for aerospace is used by Toncelli, which introduces carbon fiber for the construction of certain kitchen elements.

Carbon fiber is a state-of-the-art, innovative composite material, made up of woven filaments combined with a carbon matrix: a solution which guarantees the support considerable mechanical strength and excellent resistance to changes in temperature and attacks by chemical agents.

Foodie Meets Scientist

The BIO-LAB Kitchen takes inspiration from the concept of creating sustainable food products by manipulating biological systems. At its heart, it uses special bacteria that ferment the food waste composite to create water and energy sources. One type is bioelectricty, which can be produced using scraps that nano-bacteria use to create a chemical reaction that translates into energy. As you’ll see, it really is a food lab!

 A slick, contemporary kitchen that mixes timber with industrial surfaces perfectly

Project details:

Designer: David Bartlett of Art of Kitchens

Cabinets New Age Veneers in Grenada and Santorini
Benchtops 30mm stainless steel (island), 30mm Grenada veneer (back bench), 20mm Calacatta marble (drop-down table)

The brief also demanded a comfortable dining area for at least five people, so a custom-made table was commissioned. Two different tones of veneer coupled with stainless steel and marble make this a standout project, and the stainless-steel benchtop is mirrored in the floating light plane above, a unique feature and one that really draws the eye.

The client is ecstatic with the outcome. The kitchen has become the heart of their home and implements a well-considered balance between form and function.” says the designer
