FORMA MENTIS
In pursuit of materiality
Our view of the kitchen is that it should be a versatile project that can adapt to the requirements of its owners while at the same time being highly functional. The shape and materials of the Forma Mentis doors, constructed with slanting edges that have micro ridges, has been designed to make it easy to grasp and open without the need of handles thus ensuring clean-cut lines and practicality-of-use.
Moreover, the metal profiles that protect the edges of the doors and table tops make it even more resistant. The look of this kitchen can be customised by choosing the thickness of the top, the type of grip recess and the colours of the profiles and their combinations.

MATT LACQUER
ELEGANCE AND RESISTANCE
Lacquers are based on a special varnish that ensures excellent impact resistance and an unalterable, durable finish. Matt lacquer is obtained by adding some microspheres to varnish that give the product a slight orange-peel effect, making it more resistant to scratches and abrasions.

MATT LACQUER WITH TACTILE VENEER
TACTILITY AND WARMTH
All the wood finishes used in our kitchens respect the pursuit of wellness through the tactility of surfaces: the sensation conveyed by the warmth and feel of the material at your fingertips makes ancestral sensations come to life.
We also ensure timeless aesthetics; the wood species used in our kitchens are completely free from toxic substances; they are protected by a water-based varnish from which all aromatic solvents, that are very carcinogenic, have been removed.
