Kelly demonstrates a contemporary design of traditional
inspiration, inspired by the past and reinterpreting it in a modern and refined
way. The appeal to natural materials and craftsmanship is enhanced by the
recovery of woven rattan, inserted in both the doors of the wall units and in
the containment trays. The woven rattan is also used in the chairs and
breakfast table which complement the overall kitchen.
An interplay of surfaces is seen through the use of the
rounded workmanship on the framed doors and on the handles. The door's and handles
constructive and decorative details enhance the stylistic inspiration through
the use of cherry wood and ash wood. Even the extractor hoods which may be
considered functional may also become particularly capable of intensely
personalising the kitchen's ambiance. The units also lend themselves into
living spaces creating a co-ordination with the kitchen space and perfectly
integrating the two environments allowing for continuity and order.
Designed by architect Alfredo Zengiaro, the contrast and
combination of the different elements create a union between diverse materials
and modern colours; all combined to create ambiances that are personal and
refined. The secret lies in knowing how to combine completely opposite elements
creating an unmistakable look.
