Those of you lucky enough to visit Eurocucina earlier this year might remember an attention-catching display which featured a waterfall raining down upon a kitchen island bench at the stand of Italian furnishing company Minacciolo. Designed by architect Silvio Stefani together with R&D Minacciolo, “Natural Skin” was one of the kitchens displayed on its stand in a variety of new finishes.
The company says Natural Skin is “not just a kitchen furnishing program; it is a new way of conceiving the rooms in the home” and goes on to explain that the kitchen system was designed to meet the needs of our modern lifestyles and deliver functionality with extreme elegance at an accessible price.
Some of the new features of the line include:
Cutting-edge materials
Constructed from high-density wood fibreboards, the Natural Skin doors are dyed with organic colourants (to ensure the colour extends through the depth of the door) and are held together by a special resin which makes the doors particularly resistant to scratches, dings and dents.
Flexible storage
The collection features tall units that help to define spaces and functions which allows designers the freedom to customise the layout to suit the client’s needs. The tall units can be used to separate rooms or become free-standing units accessible from all sides, or can be come smaller pantry units that fit within the kitchen footprint.
State-of-the-art worktops
Made from thermoplastic resin and utilising the most up-to-date nanotechnology, Natural Skin’s worktops are stain-resistant and anti-fingerprint, impact resistant and heat resistant. Micro scratches can be thermally repaired while the nanotechnology works to reduce the ability of bacteria to thrive on its surface.
