Today we look at one of the largestEuropean factories for the production of kitchens. This year our editorial team made one of the most pleasant trips in the history of our magazine. We went to the French Alps to the kitchen factory number 1 in France - Mobalpa. 
Name five words that come to mind inFirst of all, when you hear the phrase "furniture factory". Most likely, you will say: a shop, machine tools, workers, a rumble, sawdust. We, too, would say so until recently. Before they saw the process of making furniture at the Mobalpa factory. The production facilities here are more like a comfortable surgical room, where everything is clean, light, everything neatly lies in its place, there is no fuss and no noise. So in the literal sense of the word is born an amazing in all its qualities furniture. No, not furniture - works of art that make any room cozy, and its owners - happy. 
The manufacture of this factory is located ina unique natural alpine reserve, stretched above the town of Annecy, which is called the French Venice in the Alps. Merging with nature here is absolute, which implies environmental friendliness and production itself. Imagine: workers are riding around the factory on bicycles, and in the mirror windows of the building are reflected the snowy peaks of the mountains ... Amazingly beautiful! 
The process of making furniture is also unusual -Everything that can be automated is automated and robotic. The quiet sound of the machines does not violate the majestic silence of natural beauties, as if dormant in an age-old calm, where violent industrial activity does not interfere. The light pleasant smell of wooden sawdust dissolves indefinitely in the room with an incoming and melting wave - falling shavings are still collected on the fly by a special vacuum cleaner, because in these shops such almost sterile, surgical purity. There is nothing superfluous, accidental, unnecessary. 
Participation of a person in the process of creating furnituredue to the observance of ancient traditions of manual work with wood. This also makes the products of the Mobalpa factory unique in its kind, favorably different from that manufactured by the flow method in factories of other manufacturers.

Opinion of the Editorial Board: - It's hard to imagine that the factory can have such cleanliness and accuracy in everything! And when we saw this with our own eyes, we understood what the saying of the saying "the best does not look like" looks like. A 100% successful combination of natural beauty and ecological production, automation and participation of manual labor, the quality of materials and the perfection of the shape of products! Here, stereotypes break down. Here there are new criteria of perfection. Here, ideal furniture is born for those who value comfort, comfort, environmental friendliness and the highest quality.
