Adventurous Design Quest: Twelve Kitchen by Carlo Colombo from Varenna Poliform

Here is a kitchen I cant get out of my mind. Maybe it is not so much because of the kitchen itself, but the amazing photos made to promote the kitchen with tremendous pine trees covered with pure white snow outside of glaze windows. The kitchen itself is made of perfect combination of dark wenge veneer and high gloss elements that continuously spread from kitchen into dining area and form a unique two in one room where a kitchen island is main cooking and food preparation surface and a white two legged high gloss table with easy chairs dominates the dining part of the room.

Poliform is a leading furniture company established in the 1970 in Italy. From an evolution of a small artisan’s shop dating back to 1942 the Poliform brand is today synonymous for luxury life style and excellence in quality. Poliform numerous lines include systems and furnishings for the whole house. In 1996, the company added kitchens to its collection through the acquisition of the Varenna brand, in existence since 2006.

Cool and contemporary meets naturally beautiful in clean finishing of Twelve Kitchen Design by Carlo Colombo who had the idea of making the kitchen an evolved yet informal living concept where dining area is integrated into kitchen. The kitchen was described by Poliform as a new essential design with minimal horizontal thicknesses and maximum wideness of the surfaces. Twelve is an exciting fusion of vintage and futuresque elements. The symbiosis can be referred as “vintage futuresque” and “future futuresque”. The primary volumes characterized by handle-less design, touch opening, and high quality gloss finishing paired with wood and steel are resulting in a very chic, sleek and streamlined look.
