Model Ginevra

Designer: Massimo Castagna and Christophe Pillet

Ginevra is the most actual representation of the contemporary kitchen where the extreme minimalist design of a model completely without handles, manufactured with big thickness doors and volumes which foresee a very short plinth (h 7 cm made of satin s/steel), are in contrast with a peculiar use of materials and finishing extremely natural, almost rough.

Ginevra’s kitchen system, the glass system, the wall system and the new column’s system can be used separately but are thought in a way that can be combined among them being part a unique project. The project is based on a contrast between the large thickness of the door with embedded handle and the glass system units.

The “Glass system” is a set of special elements made in glass and compatible with Ginevra dimensions and volumes that can be freely added to each Ginevra composition. Glass system is an innovative project where the essential clean design of the glass makes a rupture into the repetitive monotony of the doors. Glass system elements are made of tempered glass in a grey semi-reflecting version without handle and opening through an upper groove.

Tall units: Ginevra offers two more new columns. The first one with sliding doors and the second one with hinged doors and “Pegaso opening system. Both new tall units have big thickness doors (2.5 cm) and are available in all Ginevra finishing.

Handles: Aluminium frame under the work top permits a comfortable opening of all base units’ door. New tall units have invisible handle obtained on the lateral edge of the door.

In Genevra elements which are different by nature and constructive technology become partners among them and show clearly the functions that are carried out daily in a kitchen. The result is a rigorous and essential global aspect but softly technical without any fear to show functions and the instruments of cooking.
