EuroCucina 2018 & Salone Internazione del Bagno: Spain’s kitchen and bathroom furniture

Kitchens, the hub of the modern home

Not only are they a hub for dining and drinking, they usually wind up being the home’s social focal point too. Cooking, entertaining, working, playing, studying: it all happens here. That’s, why in recent years, kitchens have evolved into fluid, multi-purpose rooms which fir for an intense every day use, yet are easy on the eye. As they open out into living rooms, these spaces call for intelligent, effective modular solutions with containers and cabinets for storage and island units which wiil bring out your inner chef chefs and accommodate guests gathering for coffee and a chat. Cupboards and drawers are spacious, practical and super-organised so that everything is on hand.

Materials, textures and nuances are modulated to create a serene, relaxed and perfectly balanced environment. This has triggered the resurgence of natural stone and the introduction of innovative work surfaces that replicate it, improving resistance to hard use, scratches, stains and chemicals.

A space for “cooking” emotions. This is how we can define CARNIVAL, the latest kitchen from the Premium E7.30 series by GAMADECOR. Made of the best materials, featuring cutting-edge equipment, CARNIVAL enhances the culinary experience, offering a compact and perfectly comprehensive space. In fact, the column area is equipped with concealed, folding doors which minimise the kitchen area at home. Its design also includes integrated appliances and a work area with shelves that can be positioned at any desired height and are illuminated by a state-of-the-art lighting system.

The central island comes with a stunning suspended countertop which provides the set with exclusivity, elegance and distinction. The oak finish, particularly the Roble Cuero Labrado, has undergone a treatment so that the whiter fibres have been eliminated, improving the natural, delicate touch of the wood.

Innovations in tile technology and related new applications are PORCELANOSA Grupo’s main goals. This has led GAMADECOR to apply the XLight porcelain tile in the backsplash, front sides of cupboards and worktops to give material continuity to the entire kitchen space. In the new XLIGHT kitchen, the island, which offers open shelving equipped with oak drawers, features XTone glossy porcelain on fronts and worktops. The furniture of the column area has been covered with one of the XLight large format models, giving off a stone style marble appearance in dark grey shade with grain and satin details. Sliding fronts conceal accessory areas in Pure Oak colour which have countless functional details.

Designed by Francesc Rifé studio for Galicia-based MOBALCO, the new NATURE kitchen collection introduces the “orchard at home” concept: an intriguing alternative to traditional kitchens. The collection was born as a response to the future of housing by introducing the garden concept through modules-containers.

The qualities of noble materials, such as walnut wood, natural stone and metal surfaces, are presented in the same scenario where cooking and growing food will be the starting point for a greater connection between nature and domestic life. The “orchard” system consists in small containers made of stone and integrated in worktops, or with metal trays on the shelves.

You can have natural wood not only in the SOHO fronts, but also in accessories such as the bar or the decorative features. Glass doors and metal elements add interest to the space as a whole.

New bathrooms, the wellbeing space

Bathrooms have gradually moved from being strictly utilitarian and functional places to areas geared to wellbeing and relaxation, and are now taking on new connotations, becoming digital and green-oriented while retaining their power to trigger emotions. While they are still areas dedicated to self-care, to restore the balance between the body, mind and spirit, they have now assumed a new role as with the evolution of the spa concept, focusing on the holistic and private dimension, with designs, materials, colours and technology all chosen to boost the feeling of relaxation.

Innovation has made it possible to save water, be more efficient with energy and use recyclable materials and antibacterial finishes that cut down on the use of detergents. Domotics and digital devices have improved the functionality of the space and its appliances.
