The big idea: Falper's Small Living Kitchens™

Falper’s recent segue from refined bathroom design to high-quality kitchen design has already earned the brand an accolade at The 21st edition of the Elle DECO International Design Awards. Its Small Living Kitchens™ by Andrea Federici won best kitchen design at the ceremony in April, trumping others with its cleverly-conceived mission to bring exceptional materials, engineering and finish to the kitchens of homes that may be diminutive but are none-the-less uncompromising on quality. 

‘Falper's Small Living Kitchens™ is a unique system designed to meet the need for kitchens in prestigious small apartments, in particular with regard to the size of the products and the qualitative details. It’s something that’s never been available before on the market,’ explains Falper CEO, Luca Fallavena. Federici originally met the vision with three smartly engineered components in a mixed palette of marble, wood and stainless steel – three models of island, storage units and tall units, all innovatively designed to cut out the chaos and clutter of small-space catering.

This year, additional functionality has been identified to bring even more flexibility to the system; complementary tables, which integrate with the islands, and snack bars, which hover alongside thanks to hidden brackets, have been developed. Accommodating up to four people, the table and snack bar are made from composite wood and come in a variety of Falper finishes. Also on the updated inventory is an element crafted in stainless steel and solid walnut that fixes the islands to walls allowing the same piece of design to stand alone or hug the perimeters of the room. It makes for a truly customisable design that moulds to the demands of a space and those who move around it.
