Beneath the hood we
find the lowered stainless steel hob, 130 cm wide by 70 cm
deep, featuring five burners and cast iron pan supports. The
hob is framed by back panels and 4 cm thick marble worktops,
the latter featuring a drip guard along all four sides. The
large drawers located beneath the hob area have a stainless
steel structure and may be outfitted to suit most storage
requirements. The large central island consists of a double-height
counter that accommodates both food preparation activities
as well as group dining. A single multi-purpose element that
summarises an idea - to combine service areas with dining
areas. To host and to share in typical Mediterranean style.
The upper worktop consists of a large 20 cm thick marble area
with a drip guard along all four sides. Equally large and
functional is the island's storage capacity, thanks to the
open shelves on one side and fully opening accessorised deep
drawers on the other. Even the dining table, featuring a scraped
oak finish, is integrated into the island,transforming this
working area into the throbbing heart and core of its environment… of the kitchen… and of the home. The island has been conceived to be easily enjoyed from all sides and may be used by many persons at one time. A design that gives prominence to both preparation activities as well as food consumption. Cooking and eating - two sides of the same coin. An ideal focal point for the kitchen - comfortable, practical and equidistant from all other elements such as the large burners, washing area, and storage units. |
