Integrated Kitchen Design from Eurocucina, Milan

Published 2010-05-21 in Electrolux Design

At Eurocucina (the kitchen fair held during Milan Design Week), Pernilla Johansson, Design Director at Electrolux, found prominent examples of integrated and stylish design. Here are some clever details that caught Pernilla’s eye.

Rational Kitchen Displayed at Eurocucina, Milan

Pernilla found “the proportion of this kitchen from Rational (a part of the Snaidero group) to be stunning. The thin dark stone surface, emphasized by the wider metal gap provides clearance to open the doors.  The tall stainless steel base is set in to give a feeling of lightness and further maximizes space. There is a certain delightful feeling to simply using the foot to push open and close this lower drawer, where you can store those items not frequently used.”

Both Rational and Snaidero show a great sense of detail in the way they make sure the side of their kitchen units as beautiful as the front, with  materials and proportions seamlessly continued.
