The kitchen Genius Loci ("The Genius of the Place") was designed by designer Gabriele Centazzo in 2015. Experts noted the timeless aesthetics and the unparalleled quality of finish in Genius Loci. By the Milan exhibition iSaloni and Eurocucina 2016, Valcucine has updated the structure of the organization of the internal space. And also V-Motion - one-touch door opening system.
Designer Gabriele Centazzo was inspired by an old secretary, a piece of furniture with secret drawers. In the Genius Loci model, the drawers are offered in two versions: one of which has inclined and slightly protruding handles. New versions of the boxes are made according to the wishes of the customer and can be made in wood or marble and in the finishes - copper or aged brass. On the side panels of the kitchen it is possible to use the same pattern as on the drawers. This will give the whole composition a more beautiful and finished look.







The program offers ample opportunities for individualization, including through the choice of materials. Consumers are seduced by facades with intarsia, stone mosaic, mother-of-pearl, as well as more restrained, but no less excellent finishes of glass and metal: aluminum, zinc, copper, titanium are oxidized, which is why they produce complex, amazing imaginings.
Behind the working front, an Air Logic storage system is located near the wall. Solid fronts hide all sockets, small household appliances, shelves and a dryer for dishes and even the actual sink faucet. Thus, the kitchen ceases to resemble the hozblok. Thanks to the new design of the tabletop (it’s now hidden flat drawers), it was possible to increase the kitchen’s capacity by 15%.












Centazzo is not just an industrial designer, but also the co-director (until 2015) of the factory - Valcucine. The intelligence and versatility of his approach are manifested not only in the use of skillful craft techniques, but also in basic research in the field of furniture ergonomics, safety and sustainable development, which are characteristic of Valcucine. The brand's offer is formed in such a way that the variety of materials, finishing options, freedom of composition of volumes and a large selection of ways to choose the client chooses to create a kitchen for every taste. As a rule, these are modern and innovative kitchens.
