Made in Italy kitchens are synonymous with quality, tradition and innovation

Italy rhymes with quality, in every furnishing sector

Italy is known abroad for its unforgettable landscapes and the prestige of its cities, for its complete cuisine capable of satisfying every palate, but also for being an excellence in the field of art and culture. It is not surprising, therefore, that even in the field of furniture, Italian production often stands out, think of the mastery of those who work Murano glass or the production of sofas. made in Italy kitchens have always been the choice of those who want to focus on aesthetic value and quality, both technical and in materials.

What Made in Italy kitchens have in common

When one speaks of Italian interior design and kitchens, one thinks of a series of companies that, despite their diversity, are united by their great attention to quality and detail, from design to materials to production. Without forgetting regional particularities, the Italian kitchen favours a functional and elegant style. The lines are clean, the focus is on practicality without forgetting design, with minimalist shapes but with attention to detail, harmonious without overdoing excessive decoration. From the lamps to the fabrics, nothing is left to chance: everything is marked by an elegant and welcoming functionalism.

Traditional craftsmanship brings great attention to detail

From Italian history comes a unique ability to combine traditional craftsmanship with modernity and innovation. Indeed, the characteristics of the craftsmen who have made Italy’s fortune are still present, with great attention to detail, even when production takes place on an industrial scale.

This makes Made in Italy kitchens  unmistakable. Often the designs, especially custom-made ones, are made by craftsmen, think of carpentries, who combine work taken from tradition with the most modern techniques. In addition to the general quality of the work, one notices the attention paid to each individual detail, such as the finishing touches or individual workmanship, which give an extra touch of elegance to each piece, which is then extremely carefully decorated and finished with skill and refinement.

Made in Italy kitchens are functional and for living

Functionalism is also reflected in the organisation of space, combined with a desire for conviviality. Italian kitchens are in fact designed to facilitate the preparation of food, but also to be able to share time together. The table or island counter where people gather are therefore always central. In more modern flats, the open-plan solution, which merges with the living room, is popular.

The importance of materials in Italian kitchens

Made in Italy kitchens, whatever their style, always opt for high quality materials, preferably natural ones. Wood prevails, chosen from the most precious essences, widespread and used in every style, from the minimalism of the north to the rustic of the countryside to the Mediterranean.

If possible, materials from the region are used, such as world-famous marble or granite. And even if they are not indigenous, they are the best on the market. As far as colours are concerned, although there is a huge range of choice, a neutral, light palette is the most popular, seeking an airy yet cosy and refined effect, with hints of natural wood colour in the rustic and mountain variants and shades reminiscent of the sea in the Mediterranean ones.

Sustainability, technological excellence and customisation are characteristics of Made in Italy kitchens

There is also a particular focus on the environment, with the choice of furniture and elements that are recyclable and made with the lowest possible environmental impact, and are durable.

Companies for made in Italy kitchens introduce appliances that are mainly integrated, modern and efficient, in high energy classes and able to guarantee excellent performance. There is also a desire to make their designs adaptable to all types of kitchens, which is why they favour highly customisable solutions, both with modular and combinable furniture and ideas, and with made-to-measure interior design projects.
