Recycled paper and ceramic,
aluminium, glass, natural resins,
timber from managed forests. These
are the materials being used by the
more environmentally sensitive
manufacturers of kitchens and
surfaces, without making sacrifices
on the aesthetic front. Cosentino, for
example, has launched Eco, a new
surface made plant-based resinsand
recycled inert materials, while in
kitchens Martini and Team 7 are using
“home-grown”, European woods.
Valcucine, with its Demode brand,
continues the commitment to creating
100% recyclable kitchens, and Arrital
is using PaperStone®, a product made
from recycled paper and petrol-free
resins. Appliance design, meanwhile,
has been focusing on the reduction of
consumption through the introduction
of “smart” programmes, capable of
improving times and performance
features. Cooktop developments
include electronic flame control
from Electrolux, ovens from Franke
with controlled heat flow using DCT
technology, the new class A+++ rated
dishwasher from Smeg and the Ico hood
from Elica, whose Synairgy motor cuts
energy consumption by half.
by Paola Leone
INTERACTING WITH
THE ENVIRONMENT
PaperStone®, an eco-friendly, recyclable material defines
the surfaces of the AK_04 kitchen, on everything from
the cabinet and drawer fronts to the tops. Thanks to its
compactness and class A fire resistance (up to 175°),
it is also suitable for use as a worktop material.

ARTEMATICA VITRUM & NEW LOGICA SYSTEM
Bevelled glass for the base units and glass with Arab Mosaic
decorations for the New Logica System wall/back and for the tall

Vitrum, a system constructed with a genuine eco-friendly
approach: the “dematerialised” cabinet front, manufactured with
a minimum of material and energy, is made up of an aluminium
frame and glass panel; the fully recyclable In Vitrum base unit
system is made with an aluminium structure and recycled glass
panels. Design Gabriele Centazzo.

DEMATERIALISED
DEMODE – ENGINEERED BY VALCUCINE_MECCANICA
Meccanica is an eco-sustainable system above all because
it is constructed with the minimum amount of material
needed. Rather than the traditional carcase it has an iron
structure, a changeable “skeleton” that can also exist
without fronts and sides, or be used to create shelving
systems. The top is made of Re-y-Stone® eco-sustainable
laminate in natural resin derived from by-products of the
sugar production industry.

NATURAL LIFESTYLE
MARTINI MOBILI_LE STANZE DI ANN
The use of solid wood sourced from managed forests
and water-based paints testify to the commitment
to environmental protection displayed by this firm, whose
Le Stanze di Ann project offers a complete furnishing
programme for the kitchen and living area.
The composition with brushed oak kitchen block and side
boiserie panels fitted with small drawers and plate rack
is particularly attractive.

QUALITY TIMBER
TEAM 7_VAO
Seven types of local and typically European timber are available
for the Vao kitchen, as for all Team 7 furniture which, thanks
to a manufacturing system based on satisfying criteria of
excellence and environmental protection, won the “European
Environmental Protection Prize”. Vao, seen here in the walnut
version, features special fronts with edges cut at an oblique
angle, creating a fingergrip in place of a handle. Vao also
received (among its other accolades) a Special Mention in the
2012 IF Product Design Award.

Environmental protection,
health safeguards and design
come beautifully together in
the new solutions created by
Franke to purify water and save
on its consumption. The new
28-mm cartridge considerably
reduces the amount of water

consumed. When added during
installation it can also be used
to set the temperature of hot
water. Designed for the two
new Eos Clear and Atlas Clear
mixer taps, the Clear Water kit
is a revolutionary home water
purification system based
on a micro-filtering process
that noticeably reduces the
presence of chlorine, microparticles of heavy metals and
most bacteria. Both taps have
two outlets through which hot
and cold water flow and another
outlet for filtered water.

ERGONOMICS AND ENERGY SAVING
ELECTROLUX_ PQF750UOX
Steel hob with five Flush Vertical Flame burners for optimum cooking:
the PQF750UOX hob combines contemporary design with high-level
performance features. The cast-iron pan supports and the CrossCook
arrangement give the burners great aesthetic appeal as well as ensuring
functional efficiency. The Flush Vertical Flame system regulates
the heat output but more importantly directs the flame straight to
the bottom of the pan, thereby avoiding heat dispersion. This cuts
the amount of gas required by 20% and reduces cooking times.

A STATEMENT HOOD
ELICA_ICO
Simple design, excellent extraction efficiency,
energy saving and whisper-quiet operation: Ico is a
top-performing hood and an elegant wall feature full
of character. Ideal for kitchens that open onto the
living area, it captures all fumes thanks to perimeter
extraction, while the Synairgy power system gives a 50%
saving on electrical energy as well as being virtually
noise-free. The Chef Control feature offers a choice of
extraction settings to suit actual need and depending on
the condition of the air in the room. Design Fabrizio Crisà.

of a traditional handle. The grain pattern of the wooden
fronts, which are finished in natural oil only, is particularly

SMEG
The fully hideaway ST332L dishwasher (13 place settings) has the highest
energy efficiency rating: class A+++. It features an orbital wash system
with a third upper spray arm that gives excellent results with limited energy
consumption. It offers a choice of 5 + 5 rapid programmes and 5 washing
temperatures (38, 45, 50, 65 and 70°C), which are selected on a display whose
other features include delayed switch-on, programme length and remaining
time indicator. The controls are housed in a silver-coloured control panel.
ADVANTAGES The upper basket is height adjustable on three levels; the
lower basket has an adjustable double insert. The appliance offers a range of

The Ico hood is a perfect
combination of high performance,
energy efficiency and ease of use,
and is ideal for large interiors and
for lengthy or intense cooking
processes. Perimeter extraction
channels the air flow to the outer
surround and increases fume
extraction. The simple design
features an open geometric
element that acts as a surround
for the rectangular element,
in glass or stainless steel.

ELECTROLUX
Fusion is a fully hideaway hood
that integrates completely
into the kitchen thanks to its
compact design (the minimum
depth needed for the wall unit
is 32 cm). When not in use it
disappears out of sight; when
in use the front section opens
up and fumes are eliminated
through the “design filter”. It
features an innovative touch
control on the tempered glass
front.
ADVANTAGES Less Energy. Ico
uses the power-operated Synairgy
system, which cuts electrical
energy consumption by 50% and
ensures optimum, noise-free
extraction. The Pure smart mode
shifts the appliance to a minimal
speed setting for five minutes
every half hour until the appliance
is switched off and guarantees
constant air exchange.
Sizes Width: 80 cm.
Finishes and colours White,
black, sanded glass or stainless

ADVANTAGES Fusion is part
of the Ecosmart range of high
energy efficiency models that
absorb fumes and remove
smells in an environmentally
friendly way. The recirculation
process returns the warm air
to the home, thus allowing
savings to be made on heating.
A series of functions offers
the opportunity to check on
consumption automatically.

The ultra-flat PQF750UOX gas hob,
made from a single sheet of stainless
steel (with 8 mm surround) has five
innovative Flush Vertical Flame burners
that direct the flame straight to the
base of the pan, thereby avoiding heat
dispersion and optimising the cooking
process. The burners are arranged
using the so-called Cross Cook system,
which creates more cooking space
for large cookware. This model has
cast-iron pan supports and a safety
mechanism that cuts off the supply
of gas if the flame is accidentally
extinguished.
