incurvation kitchen innovation

premiered during the april 2006 salone internazionale del mobile in milano, "la cucina alessi" is a collaboration between alessi itself (with lead designer alessandro mendini), kitchen design power house valcucine , italian plumbing & appliance genius foster, and the finnish plumbing design luxury from oras.

(this kitchen suite is called agresse ~ a nice combination of sleek contemporary with natural warmth, emphasis on the curves. the single block island is stainless steel & the wall mounted storage units are ebonized wood)

(the sinuosa kitchen solution, as the name suggests, gives bended bliss to the heart of the home. a pivoting counter and continual curves are contemporary & soft at the same time ~ not to mention fabulously functional. several other finish options are availabe for each surface)

(the burners are placed along the countertop edge ~ ease of use & maximum efficiency)
