EuroCucina 2020

**New dates announced**

The 23rd edition of EuroCucina will be held in June (16-21st) with the theme of “sustainability, innovation and sensory perception: kitchens go circular”.

EuroCucina, the benchmark kitchen sector exhibition at international level, brings together 84 exhibitors ranged over an area equal to around 19,154 square metres, mainly but not exclusively, in Pavilions 9 and 11.

As of this year, EuroCucina is adopting an extended exhibitive format, allowing furniture companies specialising in total living to showcase their kitchen concepts on their respective stands at the Salone International del Mobile and S.Project, underscoring the way this space is evolving.

First and foremost, EuroCucina will re-establish the kitchen as the primary space in which best to enjoy social interaction and fulfil personal needs. Obviously too, by adapting this space to modern life by focusing on rationality, functionality, technical innovation and contemporary shapes and, in terms of sustainability, by coming up with durable solutions and smart technologies to cut consumption and allow for the recycling of water, energy and waste.

The boundaries between the kitchen and other domestic spaces will continue to become increasingly blurred. The space will become steadily more fluid, hybrid and integrated and a new centre of gravity. The modern domestic hub will become even more of a social aggregator and provider of essential needs. Islands will increasingly become the live, beating hearts of the space, with apparently compact and solid units that open up to reveal their many functions as needed – from super-equipped laboratories of taste to contemporary family tables around which people gather to eat, meet, chat, perform myriad domestic tasks and even work.

As it evolves into a single space, other design measures will help to revolutionise the kitchen – base units will be pressed increasingly into service; they will be made deeper to make for easier working; elegant, versatile wall units or central islands will help integrate as well as mark out the different areas, foldaway kitchens for smaller spaces will make a comeback, and here too there will be no lack of wow effect.

Particular attention is being devoted to kitchen finishes and to colour, with black and white no longer the order of the day but giving way to nature-inspired hues. In what really is the creative hub of the home. We will see a combination of matte and glossy shades in alternating neutral hues and bright colours. Even gold.

EuroCucina 2020 will serve as a reflection of today’s multifaceted and dynamic society, showcasing customisable solutions right down to the last detail: flexible, modular and tailored.
