Home Cooking

-- Interior Design, 5/31/2009 12:00:00 AM

Despite their rise to prominence in the great rooms of the 1990's, many kitchens remain aesthetically detached from the home. Determined to bridge this divide, Dante Bonuccelli devised the Trim modular system for Italian kitchen specialist Dada with furnishings-inspired details and multiple elements that afford numerous layouts.

The linear configuration pairs a yellow stratified glass countertop with stainless steel sink, stovetop, and exhaust hood. Back panels are clad in color-coordinated, acid-etched glass, while cabinet doors with slim anodized aluminum handles are covered in white Duropal laminate. A large wall unit conceals its acid-etched glass shelves with an electronically controlled roller blind, in oak or wenge, like a roll top desk.

Bonuccelli ultimately proves that no kitchen is an island by designing one. Intended to establish a visual dialogue between cooking and living spaces, the black quartzite-topped unit's kitchen-side doors are fronted with glossy white lacquer, while a sculpted, stainless steel exhaust hood hovers above. On the reverse, doors are finished in living room-friendly walnut, ready to be accompanied by the walnut-top dining table with anodized aluminum legs. 39-02-972-079-1; dadaweb.it. circle 697
