TECHNOLOGY
The blend of technology and design is an Italian tradition and nowhere is this more apparent than in the kitchen, which is accorded the best of both. On a par with fashion and food, design represents Italian artistic tradition and innovation. The concern with aesthetics is ingrained, and Italian kitchen design is intended to satisfy the senses. More than minimalist, the new kitchen is deconstructed and streamlined, unfettered.

ALUKIT, Marc Sadler by Boffi
"The evolution of the kitchen is certainly not moving towards the decorative, but rather in the direction of the functional; from an engineering standpoint. The kitchen has got to be perceived in the first instance as a machine. It would cost much less". Marc Sadler

UNITS, Piero Lissoni, by Cappellini
The Disintegrated Kitchen, taking the separate units approach yet farther away from the built-in kitchen. The idea here is to free the most space possible and still accommodate the functional elements. The plan draws heavily upon the "chef's kitchen".

MARCO GORINI, by Strato
Research, innovation, technology, aesthetics, deconstruction. This kitchen is a splendid architectural mass, dominated completely by its operative areas. The kitchen is the most essential space in life. The materials used are of the purest: stone and titanium.
