Eco-friendly

It's no longer enough to find kitchen solutions that combine functionality and beauty we need to rethink our life style considering eco-friendly design a focal point of interest.

We now need a new paradigm. A model of sustainable development that can be applied to all production and design phases. Smart design processes that – day after day – contribute to re-establishing the right relationship between man and nature.

This is how eco-friendly kitchen cabinets made using less raw materials and energy, which are easy to take apart and recycle at the end of their life-cycle and that produce the least possible toxic emissions, are born. Kitchens that feature a long technical and aesthetic life.

Do you ever wonder what industries can do for the environment? The answer could be to switch from linear economy – consisting of consumption and waste – to circular economy which reuses and recycles as well as producing and consuming.  Respecting the main rules of eco-friendly design – dematerialization, recyclability, reduction of toxic emissions and durability, without creating any waste at the end of its life cycle. Lengthy research into materials and their limits of resistance have allowed us to revolutionise the kitchen industry by producing the first kitchen base unit in 100% recyclable or reusable glass.
