Minotti cucine

minotti cucine has always been in ponton di sant’ambrogio di valpolicella, in the province of verona. the church of san giorgio in a closeby little borough of early christian origin has been source of inspiration for minotti cucine. its peculiar aspect evokes three main concepts: a majestic, mono- chrome and –material ethos. the walls and floors of this sacred building are made up of large stone slabs coming from this area: the lessinia white stone. its pure volumes are emphasized by the natural light filtering from the few, long and narrow openings. at first the inside is apparently dark, but once the visitor’s eyes get used to this half-light, it’s unavoidable to perceive “the visual silence and spiritual peace”. the majesty of san giorgio church, whose main expression is the massive and vertical presence of the bell tower, has inspired minotti cucine to design thick volumes. it also influenced the architecture of minotti cucine seat: the perfect proportions can be observed in the long and narrow walkway made up of large white lessinia stone slabs. moreover, the surrounding areas of minotticucine have always been recognized as those where stone is treated and cut. the local culture traditionally relied on the wisdom and high quality of crafty masters. since the 60s and 70s minotticucine has designed kitchens with stone worktops and then with stone sinks following an antique tradition. a further evolution has been designing stone fronts, thus reaching a horizontal and vertical material uniqueness. the kitchen that has been exposed for 10 years in the company’s garden is timeless evidence of this history. a further valuable aspect of minotti cucine is its custom-made approach: each project is unique, designed and manufactured to satisfy every single and exclusive need.
