The Contemporanea Collection by Officine Gullo

The Contemporanea Collection is a modern take on Officine Gullo’s iconic kitchens.

At its core, the Contemporanea Collection is a celebration of design, craftsmanship, technology and modern luxury. What makes this metallic-centric collection unique is the choice of materials from which they are crafted: steel is the only material used, alongside brass which comes in various finishes. This is a contemporary and curated concept for steel connoisseurs who understand the material’s aesthetic and functional value.

Technology is at the heart of this Contemporanea Collection – the technology used to paint the kitchen structure is the same used in the car world: powder coating. The result is a water-resistant robust paint that withstands impact much more than traditional paints.

The kitchen structure can be crafted in any colour on the RAL chart, in addition to customised shades available on request. A spectrum of finishes is available for the brass details, too: from classic galvanic finishes, including polished chrome, black or satin-finish nickel, to coloured touches for a tone-on-tone effect or as a contrast with the colour of the structure. Another option is an opaque high-tech finish in soft shades for an ultra-modern effect.

Officine Gullo recommends two materials for the tops in the Contemporanea Collection: stainless steel and marble. Both materials are famous for their hygiene, water resistance, easy cleaning and ability to withstand impact, abrasion and heat. Stainless steel is the material that has the most visual impact on the kitchen space. Synonymous of strength, this material stays the same over time, resistant to bacteria and heat, and practical in terms of everyday management. Marble epitomises elegance. It provides immediate beauty, regardless of the space, and is resistant to impact, cuts and abrasions. Marble endures over time and remains extremely hygienic.

The furnishings have pure aesthetic and functional value with straightforward, contemporary forms in which every element is designed – and arranged in the space – to be functional and practical. The thin multifunctional push-pull drawer, a constant throughout the collection, conceals functional accessories such as chopping boards and partitions. The edges are perfectly smooth and the corners rounded due to the detail-oriented craftsmanship, while screws and joints are hidden for an impeccable finish. Walnut or oak wooden containers are available to keep cutlery, utensils and knifes tidy, as well as glass jars for spices and bottles. Renaissance-inspired hinges have been removed from the Contemporanea Collection kitchen and replaced with a slow soft-close system on the doors.

The innovative top contains a groove, which conceals a LED that can be controlled remotely from a smartphone or tablet. The handles are crafted to conceal doors and drawers in the upper section of the kitchen.

With Officine Gullo Contemporanea Collection there are endless solutions to help you craft a kitchen tailored to your tastes.
