SIPARIO design: Makio Hasuike & Co.
The kitchen environment is a place where people share and enjoy each other's company. Like in a theatrical representation the art of cooking is a performance. The stage is imposing, compact, equipped for preparation and cooking. The curtain is a wall cabinet with glass shelves and integrated lighting. The scenery is completed with the tall units and kitchen island. Built-in appliances create a compact design, respecting the double depth of the tall units. The show begins, actors and audience are both protagonists, involved in the representation of the preparation, cooking and taste.
The kitchen is in FENIX NTM® grigio bromo on plywood supporting panel, with countertop in stainless steel and breakfast table in FENIX NTM® Grigio Bromo.
