ISLAND LIVING

Bulthaup took up a former church building and a landmark in Brera—the Chiesa di San Carpoforo—for its showcase, filling the vast space with interactive stations for people to experience its new designs through plenty of food and drinks. This included the “b3 island,” which transforms the island area in a kitchen into a more functional space, so the person cooking can interact more with family members and guests. The b3 island features panels that slide to reveal storage areas for utensils, spices and more. The panels can also be used as counter space and chopping boards, and can slide right up to the sink at the end of the island. bulthaup.com; available at House of Madison, themadisongroup.asia/houseof-madison
