The open-space kitchen is one of those trends that was seemingly born to last: more than being a mere structural change to enlarge spaces, it embodies an entirely new way of experiencing and conceiving your own home. When unhindered, light can invade the space and emphasise every furnishing element, without walls the environment will appear to be airier, brighter and more welcoming. In this “open space” you can cook while chatting with other family members, keep and eye on the children playing in the living room or even entertain guests while adding the finishing touches to your appetisers. If you dream of a place for sharing others’ company, this is the right solution for you.

The kitchen and living room must be designed according to the principle of continuity, with special emphasis on materials, shades and the type of lighting, so as to recreate the same atmosphere, or at least some consistency achieved through cross-references, in every corner of the room. When there is enough space, we suggest enriching the kitchen with an island: an important element that will become the cornerstone of the entire open space. Besides being a functional element, it is the heart of an environment that revolves around conviviality and sharing. How to strike the right balance between practicality and cohesion? By organising spaces into “functional areas” to make them both visually appealing and rationally organised. The absence of walls becomes an opportunity to juggle with the liberating feeling of openness, to weave furnishing elements together like in a beautiful symphony.
