Company profile
The acceleration of the environmental crisis calls into question directly economic development. On the one hand due to the increased consumption of raw materials (water and energy) and the other for the growth of emissions. It should also reflect utilization life of goods, which are more rapidly reduced waste, the felling of forests and the chemical synthesis of the substances produced and used. IT IS NECESSARY TO rethink the patterns that define the society, the concepts of wealth and poverty, of space and time, sharing and selfishness, growth and decline. We are thinking about these issues, because we believe we are facing a historic challenge. A challenge that, together, we can win. First, we open a discussion on the deepest meaning of the design and its consequences on our perception of reality. Wondering if that is the ability of a designer is to create something useless for the chosen few or elaborate shapes to combine functionality and aesthetics for everyone? A democratic and humanistic concept of the design, intended as a tool to simplify the daily lives of everyone. Demode not want to be just a brand of furniture "Made in Italy", where the attention to detail, ergonomics, product quality and respect for the environment are the foundation of the design philosophy, but also the conviction that it is possible to reshape the future in a different way by rearranging and creating a new culture.
Companiy's philosophy has an 8R core:
-Redistribution, Reuse, Recycle, Decrease, Relocalization, Restructure, Recontextualization, Reevaluation
Demode has 5 kitchen programs: Meccanica, Integra, Forma, Digma, and Planca

Not really for placing the oven next to the sink, for using heavy textured surfaces that seem hard to clean, for a dark and pessimistic atmosphere.
