Since its inception, Rossana has always been a leading
player in the world of kitchens, and has understood and interpreted the changes
in our lifestyle- those evolutionary shifts in our customs and habits which are
reflected, often unconsciously, in our choices and homes. Designed by Massimo Castagna,
HT50 revisits and modernises a theme that has always been particularly dear to
Rossana - the concept of the portal kitchen, which gave rise to a number of
superlative quality and highly successful products made by Rossana in the
1980s, and which has now practically vanished as a genre. The work area is
conceived as a niche demarcated between the base units and wall units and as
deep as the base units themselves, which forms a portal structure. The niche is
furbished with under wall unit elements, open compartments, and counter top
containers with coordinated finishes, to create individual functional areas. Pure,
minimal and elegant styling, a widespread use of state-of-the-art servo-assisted
door technology (with electrically motorised “push-pull” doors) and the use of
only the highest quality materials are all trademark elements of the
philosophy, aesthetic sensitivity and mission of Rossana, which come together
to create something extraordinary that goes well beyond the simple concept of
minimalism. The HT50 kitchen system also allows many other configurations - not
necessarily based on the portal concept - enabling an outstanding degree of
freedom to create tailor-made personalised solutions to suit any particular
application, all of which with the superb functionality, aesthetics and quality
typical of Rossana.
The
“Interbase” zone is the most distinctive element of the HT50 system. Specific
articles serving technical, storage and styling functions have been created to
optimise the usability and enhance the character of this area.
Another
highly distinctive element in the HT50 system is the worktop. This blends into
the front door of the base unit with a 45° bevelled edge to create a monolithic
volume, an effect that is further emphasised by the entirely handle less
solution.
