LaCucinaAlessi: The world's most exclusive kitchen?
The poetry of the curved line.
This kitchen is based on just a few precise concepts:
exemplary technology, energy saving, environmental
protection, ergonomic precision and, lastly, aesthetics
that are not formulated on hi-tech or minimalist
ostentation but are the result of research based on
intimate, evocative and emotional factors that have
always been the fundamentals of my work.
The poetry and aesthetics of the curved line are the
synthetic and dominating themes from which the entire
image of this project stems: an enveloping, sinuous,
wavy and dynamic meaning. A feeling of total protection:
physical, because by rounding off edges, accidents are
avoided, especially to the children in the vicinity; and
psychological, letting you use this culinary tool in
a relaxed and happy way for perfect cooking results. - Alessandro Mendini
The ideal place.
The kitchen is the place in which many of our objects are
imagined or are designed for. It shouldn't surprise anyone
to learn that we have been thinking of designing a complete
kitchen scenario for a long time, a sort of ideal set on which
our pots and pans, coffee makers and kettles will feel at
ease and stage their daily show.
It wasn't easy to tackle this project because, in my opinion,
there are many kitchens on the market with a high quality
design, all projects one must reckon with, but from which
it was indispensable for us to be as far removed from
as possible. On the other hand, it was easy to choose
the designer for this project: who better than Alessandro
Mendini, who has accompanied us in our research and
design experimentation for three decades, could interpret
the "ideal place" for the majority of Alessi's products? - Alberto Alessi
