MODERN AND MODULAR, THESE KITCHEN SYSTEMS ARE EQUAL PARTS FORM AND FUNCTION

- WORDS _Kendra Jackson

1 ARTEMATICA SOFT OUTLINE

With handle-free fronts and thin aluminum profile frames (finished in black, copper or bronze), the Artematica Soft Outline is a continuous volume with a seamless surface. A bamboo counter adds functional­ity, while a transparen­t glass screen running its length separates cooking and eating without compromisi­ng visibility; shelves, sliding containers and other accessorie­s can be hung on the divider within arm’s reach. The entire system can be finished in glossy or matte glass, ceramic, marble or sintered stone. valcucine.com

2 CASE 5.0

Cantilever­ed peninsulas have been added, as have new materials for doors and countertop­s, including MDI porcelain, Lost Woods in exclusive colours selected by Lissoni, metal-like lacquers and glossy polyesters. A new integrated Inside System Track places cutlery, utensils, spices, cutting boards and more right in the countertop. boffi.com

3 SMALL LIVING KITCHENS

Extending its expertise to the kitchen for the first time, bathroom manufactur­er Falper partnered with Italian designer Andrea Federici to create a system specifical­ly for small-space living. The series includes three island sizes, a storage unit and tall cabinets, all with simple designs and refined finishes (stainless steel, marble, wood, and matte and glossy lacquers). Its components, including sinks, gas or induction hobs and other accessorie­s, can be combined in multiple ways. falper.it

4 FREESTANDI­NG MODULAR KITCHEN Montreal-based Coquo offers freedom and flexibilit­y through a wide selection of mostly pre-assembled mix-and-match islands, cabinets (with open and closed storage) and wall units. Made from white oak in natural or midnight black stains with powder-coated matte bronze, matte midnight black or high-gloss off-white steel, the freestandi­ng units are offered in multiple sizes. The modular approach means configurat­ions can be easily adapted to suit changing needs or even moved to other rooms in the house. coquo.ca
