Introducing a new way to look at the iconic products from Officine Gullo in an original design series by Aquazzura, where design and fashion come together for a limited edition range of cookers.
At the recent Salone del Mobile.Milano, Officine Gullo and Aquazzura have created a capsule collection of freestanding cookers, decorated by hand and which embrace creativity, art and design. Created and decorated completely by hand in Gullo’s workshops, the designs are based on a design by Edgardo Osorio, founder and creative director of luxury footware brand Aquazzura.
Each exotic motif is characterised by flowers and animals from distant lands. The superior quality metals used on the cooking units, in tones of pastel pink and green, pair beautifully with the finely applied designs added by skilled artisans, which transform the cookers into authentic works of art.
These Italian brands, which come from two different worlds – design and fashion – pool their shared values in a constant quest for beauty and perfection in terms of detailing, celebrating the excellence of Florentine master craftsmanship.
Officine Gullo invested significant time into carefully researching the techniques used to create the decorative elements so that they could last over time, in spite of the warm temperatures of ovens and cook tops. The design is applied entirely by hand using acrylic tempera paints and varnishes with specific protectants. The paintwork is slightly embossed to the touch, in a way that reflects how art is such an intrinsic part of this project, where the kitchen is seen as an exclusive canvas, waiting to be decorated.
