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.
Kitchen Genius Loci, design by Gabriele Centazzo. Genius Loci Model Composition Genius Loci with a large elongated working island. Sink and stove brought to the central working island. An oven, coffee machine and other appliances are located inside the cabinets. The height of the table top is made so that inside are flat boxes. Drawers have a variety of widths and purposes. Convenient storage is also provided in the working island.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%.
Large cabinets have a special opening and closing system for V-Motion doors. As in the model New Logica System in the back wall behind the beautiful facades hides and stores everything you need for cooking: mixers and combines, coffee makers and scales, bottle holders, sockets, hooks for towels and much more. The central island is lengthened by the dinner table. The central working island also has the necessary secret drawers for instruments and accessories. One of the sides of the working island is complemented by a narrow worktop. The drawers have a convenient bevelled handle. For storage there are numerous devices.
