binova motorized kitchen

design by Emanuel Gargano and Marco Fagioli (that middle part sinks down flush with teh rest of the counter)

The kitchen draws inspirations from places such as craftsmen and mechanical workshops. The large central body contains a motorized integrated cabinet that can be lifted up showing all the utensils used in the preparation, cooking and washing of food, as if it were a blacksmith's or carpenter's bench. The double-sided motorized cabinet can house, within a single space, not only kitchen utensils but also elements used in living areas such as monitors, DVD/CD players and a mobile bar. A vertical beveled edge on each door serves as a cabinet handle, providing for a clean unobstructed front view. The big kitchen worktop is again a continuous, functional strip, a light, decisive sign of a formal, rigorous operation creating a large working area.
