— The past Milan exhibition Salone delMobile, as usual, pleased with designer novelties. This year, the furniture salon also hosted a kitchen exhibition — Eurocucina. We want to talk about it.
From , which embodied the obvious development of design, weWe would like to highlight the following: 1. The facades and countertops are not only made from the same material, but are also designed in the same color. Thanks to this solution, the kitchen set looks like a single monolithic system.

Number 3.Transformable furniture can be safely called one of the leading trends. Movable elements, such as mobile ones, are being introduced into the design of kitchen furniture more and more actively. Also, coplanar opening systems are widely used.

Toncelli 4.Natural stone or its analogues - porcelain stoneware or acrylic stone - are used not only by designers, but also by engineers who skillfully integrate technical devices into the thin surfaces of countertops and facades to implement their ideas.

Varenna 5. Elements of metal and painted metal (for example copper and rose gold) are actively introduced into Scavolini furniture designs.
Rossana 6.An aesthetic and minimalist appearance and enhanced functional filling - this is how one can characterize one of the main trends in the manufacture of kitchen furniture. Now all the filling is visible from the outside and is placed in built-in containers and drawers.

TEAM 7 7.Furniture with no handles on the fronts or handles of a fancy shape has become more popular. At the same time, along with the push to open system, the use of special slots or fronts with protrusions, with which you can open a cabinet or drawer, is popular.

Maistri 8.Furniture manufacturers are increasingly concerned about nature. In the arrangement of houses and apartments, they adhere to increasingly environmentally friendly principles, therefore they introduce technologies that are safe for both humans and the environment. Exhaust systems with recirculation mode have become a natural embodiment of this trend.
Toncelli 9. To achieve the effect of antiquity, some brands used brushed wood and special specimens, the texture of which shows that they have been eaten away by insects.
Toncelli 10.Furniture items decorated with original art works or veneer appliqués do not lose their relevance, but on the contrary, they are increasingly being used by designers in interior design.

But this year, manufacturers were able to surprise us,presenting a number of truly original and cool solutions: 1. New engineering technologies have made it possible to effectively hide without depriving it of its functional advantages. This is especially noticeable in experiments with an induction cooker, the entire device of which is precisely embedded in the tabletop, while its surface remains absolutely flat.

Snaidero 3.A functional and at the same time unique interior can be assembled from several separate modules, in which all the equipment and other devices are hidden. The modular design corresponds to the course taken by the designers to simplify forms and get rid of everything unnecessary as much as possible.
Toncelli 4.The kitchen no longer requires walls: the possibilities of furniture and technical solutions allow you to place the kitchen area in any convenient space, without being tied to a specific room in the apartment. Including due to those same hoods with recirculation mode, which do not require an air duct.

Maistri 5. The same material is used for the countertop and the sink, thus embodying the current trend towards homogeneity of all materials.

Veneta Cucine 6.The development of machine tool precision allows for the production of products with great filigree. The contribution of engineering to design cannot be overestimated. And the iSaloni 2016 exhibition fully confirmed this.
