The kitchen of a home is the most complex area for the designer. Kitchen must be efficient and functional, yet aesthetically pleasing. As the hub of family life, it should also be welcoming and uplifting, providing food not only to the table, but to the soul as well.
When planning the kitchen, all aspects of ergonomics, safety, lighting and airing, no to mention durable materials should be considered carefully. Nowadays, there are endless options to choose your partner for your new kitchen, but the knowledge and range of options may be very different. I highly appreciate local kitchen furniture factories, but due to the small market and relatively price-sensitive customers, the innovative and technological capabilities is sometimes left secondary and the outcome is not comparable of those European factories, who have decades of experience and know-how and who constantly work not only in timeless design concepts, but focusing also on sustainability, wellbeing and innovation.
One company I truly trust in the world of kitchen factories, is Valcucine. Valcucine is Italian company standing out in the kitchen sector for over forty years. Each kitchen collection is designed with people in mind to create products that contribute to the wellness and needs of the user. The company has earned a reputation for its dedication to improving the ergonomics and the use of space. This has led to the Logica System, which was created in the 90s. The innovative and ergonomic system features an equipped back section, jumbo drawers and wall units with lift-up doors that makes it easier to work in the kitchen because everything is within hand’s reach. These systems blend aesthetics with functionality and are able to contain and conceal, when necessary, all the equipment required in the kitchen.
Valcucine designs timeless kitchens that are impervious to trends, built to last and accompany customers throughout their lives. Each kitchen offers extensive planning freedom thanks to the variety of units available. Not only can the units be combined using different ranges but they can also be customised thanks to a wide range of materials, finishes and handicraft works. In the Genius Loci range, for example, the drawer can be personalised with inlays and special finishes, while the glass surfaces can be customised with any image, using an inlay technique.
In-depth tests on the quality and durability of materials are performed on all collections to provide for a 10-year guarantee and matchless after-sales assistance.

GENIUS LOCI
Just like old desks Genius Loci conceals a secret, intimate, space in a drawer that goes beyond the functional. Genius Loci is the heart of customisation and available in various finishes. It offers a timeless aesthetic and hand-crafted workmanship that reflects the taste of those who purchase it. The result is sophisticated and refined.
ARTEMATICA
From the refined use of glass in every colour and finish to wood that conveys strong tactile sensations to lacquered surfaces and metal laminates, Artematica kitchen has been designed down to the last detail to make movements more fluid and more assured, to bring about a softer closure of cabinet doors and to respect the highest safety standards thanks to rounded corners and edges.
RICICLANTICA
Riciclantica stands for “lightness and resilience": the lightest door in the world fits into an aluminium structure that is water-, steam- and heat-resistant.
This makes it possible to plan kitchen layouts with wall-hung units, allowing for the utmost freedom of arrangement and movement and creating a durable and cutting-edge design.
