This guest post is by Amandine DowleFinal month, the International Style Week took place in Milan. From the Salone del mobile at Milan’s Fiera to hundreds of events as “Romeo and Juliet two.0” (featuring Fontanot’s exterior spiral staircase) or “Baas in Town” by Maarten Baas, the city was definitely full of life. Working as a photo reporter for Mondadori the greatest publishing editor in Italy, I’ve grabbed my camera and went to the Salone del mobile to check the newest kitchen trends.

I will begin with my favourite Italian brand. Toncelli combined in his most recent kitchen designed by Studio Carlesi Style the modern with the simplicity, incorporating sophisticated home automation systems, made in fiber without grooves and handles. The shapes are straightforward and clean the lacquered black color is sophisticated, giving a minimalist style and a contemporary atmosphere to the kitchen. It is of course equipped with higher technology appliances with tactile surfaces facilitating the tasks of the contemporary housewives. The big effective hood is incorporating several soft lights and adds a real some thing to the all round look of this kitchen.
My second favorite 1 but entirely diverse is the style of the Elmar pavillon. Particularly the kitchen table made by the studio C+S Architects Diego Collini, Alessandro Mimola, and Davide Testi created in titanium with a table in oak wood. Basic line but perfectly studied with its 6 feet and the hood enabled to play music, enlighten the cook’s operate and of course aspired cooking smells. I like the clean and organic wood.
Ultimately the third brand that I would like to talk about is Ernestomeda and its line called “Soul” developed by Giuseppe Bavuso. Functional, compact, and standard, the priority of his new line is to be sensible. The principal kitchen table is studied to have everything at your fingertips with a huge sink, several further-storage, and accessories to facilitate the use.
The kitchen trends of this final international exhibition it is not only about finding new methods to entertain the consumers, it is also about trying to use supplies of quality as wood, carbon, aluminum, marble and timber, created by devoted teams of creative workers and craftsmen employing new machinery and technologies to get the best benefits.
