During Milan Design Week earlier this year, TM Italia presented Impexa, the Limited Edition Kitchen Suite developed in partnership with the creative duo MC+.
With this collection, the Californian duo MC+ (Mattia Biagi and Cardenio Petrucci) explored the fascinating imperfection of nature with a system of iconic products conceived as functional artworks capable of illuminating the domestic scene with new reflections on living.
The Limited Edition Kitchen Suite is 100% made in Italy and is named for the Latin name for “disorder” to evoke the breaking of patterns and the entropy that drives the organic evolution of natural ecosystems. The design is pure, organic and dynamic. This concept combines refined design, the finest Italian craftsmanship and the best raw materials, forged to be durable and environmentally friendly.
The internal structure of the three islands is made of ecological panels produced from recycled materials and wood fibres obtained from renewable sources certified PEFC, FSC and CARB-P2 (low chemical emissions). The side and front panels are made of steel processed using jewellery techniques to obtain different surfaces and effects of light: two super-gloss finishes (dark gold and nickel tones, a tribute to the warm reflections of the sun), combined with a super-matt finish (brass tones, a tribute to the icy surfaces of icebergs).
The worktops are made of high-performance ceramics in a dark slate shade and a three-dimensional Vulcan effect surface, inspired by pristine solidified lava. The cooking island integrates concealed induction technology, exploiting the technical characteristics of the ceramic material that allow electromagnetic transfer even in the absence of a glass cooktop. The washing island is equipped with a hand-assembled single-material sink using traditional stone-working techniques.
The Limited Edition Kitchen Suite was displayed in the stunning setting of the Sala Stoppani at the Istituto dei Ciechi di Milano to create an evocative contrast between matter and time.
