About - Valcucine

INNOVATION FOR LIFE

Valcucine has been standing out in the kitchen sector for over thirty-five-years. Focusing on well-being, innovation and timeless kitchen designs, that are made to last.

Each collection is designed with people in mind. We create products that contribute to the wellness and needs of the user. We have earned a reputation for our dedication to improving the ergonomics of the kitchen space, allowing better freedom of movement.

This approach led to the Logica System, which was created in the 90’s. The innovative and ergonomic system features an equipped back section, jumbo drawers and wall units with lift-up doors. This makes it easier to work in the kitchen because everything is within reach of where the user is busy prepping.

For more information please visit the International Website.

The special New Logica System and Air Logica System units were developed as an evolved version of the equipped back section and the wall units. These systems blend aesthetics with functionality and are able to contain and conceal, when necessary, all the equipment required in the kitchen.
To further contribute to the daily comfort of consumers, Valcucine has also designed specific details such as the luminous panel; when fitted in special units, the panel contributes to giving the kitchen a more open feel.

Valcucine designs kitchens that are impervious to trends, built to last and accompany users throughout their lives. Each kitchen offers extensive customisation thanks to the variety of units available. Not only can the units be combined using different ranges but they can also be customised thanks to a wide range of materials, finishes and handicraft works.

In-depth tests on the quality and durability of materials are performed on all collections to provide a 10-year guarantee and unrivalled after-sales service.
We focus on people and the environment in which they live.

We innovate for life.
