Smeg’s appliances, available at Kitch, do not just add flair to a home in terms of design; their colourful collections are statement pieces.

The Smeg booth at the EuroCucina fair this year presented the restyling of their bright Portofino cookers among the new products, a tribute to the Liguria village. Renovated in technology and aesthetics, these cookers will be offered in 90, 120 and 150 cm sizes.

The now iconic FAB refrigerators also continue to delight with special colours and finishings that add a finishing touch and wow factor to any kitchen.

As the kitchen transcends its functional purpose, Cassina, available at Space Furniture, proposes the most fabulous accessories to decorate it with. Consider Italian/Netherlands-based designers, Formafantasma’s collection called Post Scriptum, a series of porcelain vessels marked with abstract signs realised by the Ginori 1735 master painters.

Another beauty is Cassina art director Patricia Urquiola’s Sestiere vases which explore traditional artisan Murano glass-workmanship techniques and adds a lovely splash of colour wherever they’re placed.

Evolving Dante Bonuccelli’s Tivalì kitchen for Dada, Yabu Pushelberg reinterprets the innovative enclosed kitchen with new technology and design. The concept behind Tivalì was to have a kitchen “box” that appears and disappears as if by magic when necessary.

Tivalì 2.0 appears as a large closed kitchen range concealed by two concertina doors which can fold back into the shape of the container thanks to sophisticated mechanisms. Pushleberg’s iteration also offers the option of a curved marble or stone worktop, a marble-covered back panel and an unconventionally designed set of shelves left open to show what is needed.

Stosa Cucine’s minimalist kitchen, Metropolis, designed by Rossi & Co and presented at the EuroCucina booth, is ample proof that design, functionality and sustainability can exist harmoniously.

Created using Evolution System, Metropolis is a state-of-the-art kitchen that maximises storage, improves functionality and user-friendliness – and features generous and well-organised storage space. Metropolis is the first model in the Stosa range to have FSC-certified cabinets as standard.

Presented at EuroCucina, Sign is Ernestomeda’s new kitchen model by architect and company art director Giuseppe Bavuso and one of the most versatile and customisable systems the brand has ever produced thus far.

Boffi’s elegant K14 kitchen system, designed by Norbert Wangen, was revisited by the kitchen brand’s innovations in aesthetics and functionality. This new iteration allows for large, overhanging worktops, thanks to an aluminium structure braced on the floor and a countertop bevelled at a 45° angle.

The K14 can also be equipped with the MDi Inalco induction cooktop and the new Inside System Track in extruded aluminium which can be integrated into the countertop.

In another proposal that seeks to integrate the kitchen into the overall living space, the German brand Next125 proposes the modern Hideaway.

Offered in soft white matt lacquer fronts, the L-shaped design blends subtly into the room, creating an inviting, open-plan effect.  A pocket unit adjacent to the kitchen can be used here as a smart office, creating flowing transitions between the different areas of the home.

For ultimate customisation, Next125 also revised their colour concept with 18 satin and velvet matt lacquer shades within the three new colour categories - essential, elegant, and exceptional.

Swiss appliance brand V-Zug made an irrefutable case for appliances which are as aesthetically appealing as they are highly innovative, like their new Excellence line, where intuitive design elements such as the CircleSlider allow for precision and control.
