Invitrum: eco-sustainable kitchen design, 100% glass and aluminium.

Respect for people and the environment is the ethical priority that underlies all Valcucine’s projects.
Lengthy research into materials and their limits of resistance has allowed us to revolutionise the kitchen sector with Invitrum, the first base unit system made entirely of glass except for an aluminium frame.

Innovation is focused on reducing volumes to challenge kitchen conventions. To avoid pairing two side panels which, together, would deprive the cabinet of quite a lot of space, in Valcucine we develop particularly wide cabinets and use a single structural side panel in glass that is only 10-mm thick.  

All the parts are connected using mechanical joints and no glue at all  so that Invitrum can be easily disassembled at the end of its life-cycle and produces no trace of formaldehyde emissions. For a 100% eco-sustainable kitchen.
