A convivial embrace
García Cumini continues the design reflection initiated in 2022 with Cesar on geometry and material applied to the contemporary kitchen, giving shape to an unprecedented language. After the initial outcome represented by the Tangram kitchen, the project now evolves with the introduction of an additional module within the system: columns, wall units, and wall-mounted bases that complete the island and expand its character. The result is an articulated composition, where curved surfaces draw soft landscapes, amidst solids and voids punctuated by vertical grooves with an irregular rhythm, a distinctive feature of the system.

A sculptural island
A new chapter opens in the dialogue developed over the years between Antonio Citterio and Arclinea on the island as the focal point of the kitchen space: it is Kora, an island that takes on an almost sculptural and free dimension. Distinctive of the project is the curved line, extended to the snack tables with organic forms, defining an unprecedented formal language for the brand’s collection. The different material possibilities – marble, wood, PVD, and polished steel – provide vibrant and deep surfaces that emphasize the overall design.

Seamless living
From kitchen to living room, and vice versa. The transversality of Arrital systems defines a constantly dialoguing, functional, and aesthetic living ecosystem. In the brand’s new vision, the Ak_Project kitchen is paired with the new Feeling Home system for the living room, characterized by 45° joints and backlit boiserie. Ak_Project organizes the central volume and introduces a precise vertical gesture: the Lift extraction system also enhances blind spaces, making otherwise invisible functions accessible.

Watchword: lightness
Volare, as its name evokes, is accompanied by an idea of lightness, airiness, and versatile ease. A concept that becomes even more pronounced in the restyling that accompanies this icon of Aran Cucine, which is thus renewed by lightening its volumes, according to Ulisse Narcisi’s design. The materiality of oak is then introduced to provide an immediate perception of solidity, chosen for the bases and the island.

Precision architecture
A new interpretation for the Sei kitchen designed by Marc Sadler for Euromobil. Sei, like the 6 millimeters as the measure for tops, sides, and accessories: a design signature that remains constant in this renovation project that transforms the island into a monolithic volume working through contrasts. The book-matched grain of the doors pairs with stainless steel, while the burnished stainless steel screws are left visible as graphic accents. The project extends to the snack counter and coordinated stools, made with new materials consistent with those of the kitchen.

New opening
L’Ottocento inaugurates its first flagship store in Milan, in the heart of Porta Venezia. Across its 200sqm on two levels, wood becomes the guiding thread of the project, creating a warm and tactile atmosphere while emphasizing the primary importance of the material in the company’s collections. It emerges, for example, in all its naturalness in the majestic Levante with Etesia composition, the protagonist of the exhibition space. The Levante boiserie system is offered in a glossy English green lacquered version, characterized by its peculiar irregular wave pattern. It then extends as a complete storage solution in a structured wall used as a pantry; integrating with the Etesia model, characterized by smooth doors with rounded corners, in Canaletto Silky Brown walnut. Etesia shapes the refrigerator and oven columns, wall units and bases with the washing area, up to the important essence island, with its unprecedented square design that houses the hob with integrated hood and the snack counter.

As the focal point of the space
Room for dynamic forms. With the 36e8 Formae kitchen, Lago renews its aesthetic, moving beyond the traditional linear purity that distinguishes its design to embrace angled forms that define the new island. Like a monolith, it maintains complete formal cleanliness thanks to the absence of handles, the continuity of finish on the surfaces, and veins that flow uninterrupted between fronts and top. A sculptural presence that dialogues with the theme of suspension, always part of Lago’s DNA.

Soft effect
Integrating naturally into contemporary living spaces is the vision accompanying Scavolini’s new Flair system. Hence the choice of a design with fluid and rounded forms, which convey the idea of a soft and welcoming environment. This sinuosity develops both through convex elements like curved end units for bases, columns, and wall units, and through a series of concave elements, designed to accommodate curved open shelves. Representative of the system is the concave end unit for the island, which can host a snack table.

Focus on materials
Valcucine’s Milan Design Week becomes an opportunity to explore the encounter between industrial innovation and contemporary craftsmanship, which defines the brand’s approach. With the “Crafting Forward” project, integrated into the showroom’s scenography designed by Zanellato/Bortotto studio, the company simultaneously seeks new expressive possibilities for the kitchen system: glass, stone, and metal are applied as living surfaces, through processes capable of amplifying their visual depth and tactile quality. Among the material novelties is the first-time use of doors made from real titanium.
