There are legends that never fade, and with them, the works that accompany them. Such is the case of Vico Magistretti, a master of design who redefined the concept of formal purity through the elimination of the superfluous. Alongside him is the Cina kitchen, designed for Schiffini in 1986.
Exactly 40 years after its creation, Cina retains its modernity intact, as a perfect synthesis of Magistretti’s design philosophy: “to be modern means to be part of a chain with one hand in the future and one in the past.” Schiffini re-proposes this historic model, remaining faithful to the original idea, but reinterpreting it with contemporary materials and technologies.
A key element of the model is the steel hood, as is the recessed handle, obtained from the groove in the upper part of the door or the lower part of the wall units: it creates a refined interplay of continuity and lines, drawing a silhouette that recalls the elegance of a flute with a non-superimposed decorative effect, dear to Magistretti.
