These spacious kitchens come equipped with a host of impressive extras that will serve all your meal preparation needs in style.

A wide range of customizable options allows you to create the setup of your dreams with accessories such as a pasta cooker, steamer, lava stone barbecue, mirror-finished fry top plate, coup de feu burner and electric grill for open-fire cooking.

Designed by Antonio Citterio for Arclinea, “Proxima” is a high-performance stainless steel kitchen featuring bold handles all around the island, allowing for easy opening doors and drawers. Incorporating large American-made appliances, the minimalist design also aims to promote proximity, both in allowing easy access to cookware and fostering sociability during food preparation and dining.

A new approach to minimalism, these grooved surfaces elevate the most natural designs with a contemporary aesthetic.
Garcia Cumini Studio's “Tangram” features two new innovations by César, adding an elegant and bold visual impact to the brand's “Tangram” collection: the “Nuance” worktop features a dynamic color palette that evokes the fluidity of polished and frosted glass, while the oak “Groove” doors feature an irregular, three-dimensional vertical groove pattern designed to camouflage the seams between the cabinets and give the impression of a harmonious, unified surface.

Designed by Carlo Pressotto and Andrea Bassanello for Modulnova, this kitchen island is clad in Silver Roots marble slabs and features new Mocha-finished “Groove” walnut doors. The island appears to float on a narrow stone base, yet can accommodate larger appliances such as a dishwasher. The handleless doors conceal an LED light bar that highlights the interplay of textures and materials, while the versatile “glass” door component can be used for a variety of purposes, including as a base, wall unit or pillar.

Designed by Elisa Ossino for Boffi, XO takes inspiration from Luigi Massoni's 1972 classic Xila kitchen – the first model with no visible door handles. Ossino's island is part of a new generation of kitchens as destinations, where preparation, cooking and entertaining all exist in a harmonious design. XO focuses on shapes that combine precise lines and delicate edges. The handle-free door, just 2cm above the floor, is framed by a thick Brescia Imperiale stone top and side panels, while the circular solid wood counter with matching curved legs creates a gathering place.

Gaggenau's perfectly balanced design collection seamlessly integrates into your worktop (so you can rock your kitchen too). The kitchen guru has pared down the cooktop to the essentials; all that's visible are the Smart Cooking Zone LED 'dots' and the front-mounted Performance Knob. Designed to integrate exclusively with stain- and scratch-resistant Dekton Stone countertops, the range comes with a set of removable magnetic protectors for your existing cookware, reducing noise and ensuring optimal cooking performance.

Designed for use throughout the home, this refrigerated drawer designed by Patricia Urquiola for the Signature Kitchen Suite can be used as free-standing or under-counter storage in the kitchen, or to store drinks in the bedroom or beauty products in the bathroom. Featuring strong texture and color from Urquiola's “Cimento” tiling, the compact two-drawer module can be paired with a matching storage cabinet. Available in five ceramic tile colors, as well as natural or stained wood finishes.

New Marble

The use of marble in the kitchen is nothing new, but designers David/Nicholas' approach to the material offers an unexpected twist. Marsotto's “Ratio” kitchen trolley is part of a collection that includes more traditional kitchen islands and plays on the material's modernist potential. The sculptural bar cart stands out thanks to its concave modular marble panels and contrasting circular inlays. It is offered in a variety of material combinations, including Rasa White, Zimbabwe Black, Roman and Titanium Travertine and Lava Stone, and the inside can be lined in Sand Oak, Mahogany or Ash.
