Snaidero – Orange Evolution

Orange-Evolution-1_lrDesigned by Michele Marcon Design, Orange Evolution is a kitchen from Italian manufacturer Snaidero which has made a name for itself in the world of international kitchen design because of its willingness to push boundaries and try new, sometimes daring, concepts.

Orange-Evolution-3_lrFor this project, the designer played with three key concepts in order to finalise the design.

Primary Geometries – An exploration of the possible stylistic definition of colours and materials. Simple materials are combined together to convey elegant aesthetics featuring bright surfaces and colourful graphic art. A contemporary style that offers primary volumes and “gentle” chromatic combinations.

Flexible Spaces – For a free and fluid design: the metal containers with lacquer finish enhance the primary geometry of volumes, as the first characterising element of Orange Evolution.

Personal Details that Define – Space is defined by large monochromatic units adjacent to coloured elements, and represented with details that considerably soften the visual impact: the withdrawn plinth, the large open bookshelf, the contaminations of a living space, all contribute to creating a fluid, light and informal atmosphere.

Orange-Evolution-dettaglio-1_lrThe company describes Orange Evolution as “an evolution of the modern kitchen, which already has essential forms, moving towards a more refined concept, where details create the style. Colour becomes a complement that underlines the light details, such as the coloured
thickness of doors and drawers. The same section is proposed in the large open aluminium coated bookcase, in a system of light frames and structures that is vaguely oriental”.

Orange-Evolution-dettaglio-3_lrThe idea was to create a “framework” for the kitchen that would enhance the outline of the table surface in addition to providing it with support. And the plinth was specially created as an important element of the base units and columns in order to create a suspended look which is perfect for the open living space of today’s homes.
