Product description

The Italia project with double operational island, accessorised wall, Isola hood with glass border and double shelf, makes highly professional kitchens a reality. The spaces are defined by correct use of tools and perfect layout of functions. The design approach meets today's needs and embraces careful study of changing needs in terms of performance. New attention is paid to details, finishes and materials: recessed worktops in stainless steel and central accessorised channel, hob with pan supports in cast iron, and built-in waste bin. Wooden chopping boards and grids in paperstone that slide to provide extra work space when and where necessary.

Concept

Presented in 1988, the Italia model marked the start of collaboration with Antonio Citterio, who was then to take over as art director and designer for the entire Collection. Right from its debut, Italia embraced the aesthetics and technical solutions typical of professional kitchens, bringing their functions and typical methods into the home years before this became a widespread trend: the characteristic handle, the prevailing use of steel, deeper worktops fitted with large cast iron hobs and double sinks, suspended hoods, and the iconic double-island layout. While staying loyal to its original concept, over the years Italia has evolved with the addition of new technical details, better-performing equipment, and more sophisticated finishes, confirming its vocation for maximum functional results.
