The new Makio Hasuike & Co kitchen for Rastelli is a celebration of nature and how essential open air is to energise at the end of a challenging day.
The reflection from which Makio Hasuike’s project was born lies in the origins of Japanese culture, and in the same awareness of going beyond conventional thought in terms of the application of a kitchen within a domestic situation.
“The necessity of an imaginary return to nature and to some of its primary ingredient, as the aromas, the light and the fresh air,” says Makio Hasuike, “transformed the kitchen in a place of inspiration and spur to rediscover its own wellness, individual and shared, fulfilling the primary function of a well-being place, of mental balance and serenity”.
The research path of the Japanese-born architect decontextualises and reinterprets walking in nature and highlights the therapeutic importance of wood, with an emphasis on the desire to rediscover a wellness corner within the house.
The kitchen architecture is characterised by three elements: a horizontal and a vertical full volume and a sort of vertical backstage made of strips, integrated into the suffused lighting effect. The presence of traditional base cabinets, of tall units with pocket doors and open shelves with sliding panels, has been designed in every detail to enhance the clean aesthetic and the unforced perception of balance between form and matter.
The most important working area of the Bosco kitchen presents an induction hob and a sink with retractable tap. The worktop is in Silver Gray Corian®, while the base cabinets handles are in solid wood and eucalyptus veneer.
Bosco, created and designed for Rastelli, is a liveable space in which it is possible to turn on the “relax” button – at least metaphorically – to press pause on the mind and soul. The result is a timeless space, suitable for any environment.
