家用电器和厨房家具之间的日益融合现在是一个持续的趋势，但这可以通过关注不同的风格和设计选择来实现。有些人的目标是达到非常统一的效果，基本的线条和空间被设计成最能容纳越来越多的设备，这些设备几乎“消失”在厨房家具中，而有些人则认为这种整合是一种对比的和谐，在这种情况下，由于设计方面的新建议，该设备被突显出来并成为主角。当然，颜色、材料和饰面是厨房环境中各种元素整合的关键因素，同时不忘在家具中完美安装电器并确保功能性的技术因素。

向公司提出的问题

1我们经常谈论家用电器和厨房家具之间的融合：在你看来，这是一个在不久的将来变得越来越重要的趋势吗？

2你认为厨房中越来越多的家用电器、新型产品和具有非传统尺寸的电器的扩散会促使人们重新思考厨房的设计吗？

3在你看来，是什么因素使家用电器和厨房家具真正融合在一起，从而创造出一个同质的空间？

1在我们看来，将产生两极分化：一方面，我们将拥有家具和家具，它们将相互融合，并将在厨房环境中找到和谐的搭配，这一点越来越重要，而另一方面，对比将占上风，这将使家具和家具以互补的方式脱颖而出。因此，一方面，我们将实现设备与家具的完美和完整集成：在这种情况下，趋势是保持极其干净和基本的设计，线条完美地融合在一起。另一方面，我们将有一个真正的设计“爆炸”，家电将成为厨房的主角，色彩对比将占上风。在这里，我们将有一种产品，它将越来越易于定制，并且具有非常吸引人的设计。颜色和创新风格将使其与众不同，并使其成为一个充满个性和功能性的装饰项目。

2当然，这种趋势已经存在多年了。我们只想到75厘米的流浪汉，那是10年前的新鲜事。如今，有78厘米的感应炉和内置冰箱，比最新标准更高。我们将逐步重新定义尺寸，甚至宽度：例如，我们开始看到75厘米家具的冰箱。

不幸的是，近年来，我们看到越来越少的人能够理解家具、它的“灵魂”和它的用途。我们看到的电器与我们时代的现实和需求完全不同。它们似乎是由那些对技术研究不感兴趣的人设计的。幸运的是，有一些公司，像我们这样，将设计与实用性结合起来，将愿景与使命结合在一起，投入市场，取得了巨大的成功。如果我必须总结所有这些，我会说，允许整合的因素只有一个：好品味。

这是一种趋势，在最近几年里，家具中的电器“消失”了。这取决于对极简主义品味的选择，通常伴随着几年前从家用电器系列中消失的白色/灰色/黑色的回归，被不锈钢美学所取代，而如今正流行。我们已经看到，这些趋势是周期性的，持续了几年。我个人认为，作为厨房的功能部分，电器的位置必须便于使用，并且在执行其功能时没有任何限制。我将举一个例子：平头内置炉灶由于热量大，燃烧功率有限。

2对于我们来说，我们的旗舰产品是专业类型的“烹饪块”，但对于家庭来说，我必须说，厨房的设计往往是从烹饪块开始的，而烹饪块是厨房本身的合格元素。电器（尤其是当我们谈到烹饪时）实际上是厨房最具特色的部分。Ilve习惯于销售“大”产品；我们销售最多的电器有90厘米、100厘米甚至120厘米，配有两到三个烤箱。然而，厨房，即使空间减少，也越来越成为主角，因为厨房和客厅之间的墙经常被打破，以获得一个可以保持在一起的环境。此外，趋势是看到电器的尺寸在增长，但最重要的是，看到同样数量的增加，可能包括蒸汽烤箱、鼓风冷却器或真空机，他们在“明星”厨房中经常提到这些设备。

3毫无疑问，颜色、材料和饰面（手柄和旋钮）。措施也很重要 as finally the integrated installation (for example the “flush top” hobs mentioned above). But be careful to “hide” the appliance completely, the risk is to make the kitchen a walk-in closet…

Ilve Modular Techno Metro is a kitchen environment furnished with furniture and appliances in AISI 304 steel. The Quadra Modular island presents: professional cooking group, fry top plate (8 mm thick), double oven (90 – 60 cm) and stainless steel sink welded in a single top of dimensions of 150×158 cm.

1 It is a trend that certainly has an important relevance because the style of a kitchen acquires greater identity when the appliances are well integrated into the environment, making it perfectly homogeneous. Moreover, for a better optimization of the spaces, the furniture is custom-designed on the basis not only of the dimensions but also according to the various appliances.

2 Absolutely yes. Technology is constantly changing and brings changes in the way to design the kitchen space. Increased attention is given to the cooking tools, both in terms of appliances number and type and of their size. It is inevitable that the distribution of spaces changes but not only: the choice of materials also changes, that sometimes must be suitable to support even non-usual temperatures.

3 Making a comparison between a kitchen and a car, we can say that the dashboard of a car masks the internal technology giving an aesthetic perfectly integrated with the bodywork. In the design of a kitchen we see more or less a similar process: household appliances are placed in specifically designed spaces and then uniformed to the environment through the use of aesthetic elements, such as masks or colors, where any detail, perfectly cared, completes and uniforms the entire kitchen space in an excellent way. Exactly like the chrome details of a vintage car.

The Silver Gray project by Officine Gullo stands out for its attention to detail. Among the many features, it offers a cooking block equipped with high-performance burners, pasta cooker, coup de feu and fry top. Furthermore, the project includes a fitted wall, two columns and two parallel islands.

Sirius

Giacomo Fava, designer & art director for Sirius

1 We are not very interested in trends or fashions, so I cannot answer. Instead, we are interested in creating products that last over time and that use technology, not for mere marketing purposes, but to improve people’s lives. We follow with great interest the developments that are taking place in recent years in the Information Technology field, above all regarding the artificial intelligence subject. We are aware that in the near future such progress will radically modify the man-appliance relationship and consequently the relationship between man and kitchen space.

2 As mentioned before, the traditional kitchen environment will no longer exist. There will be a changing space that will transform according to the needs of those who live there. Not just the kitchen, but the whole house will be a hybrid space in which functions mix and overlap.

3 More than of integration between household appliances and kitchen furniture, I would speak of a relationship man-appliance-kitchen space. In the future, as already happens in some sectors, it will be possible to communicate with the kitchen equipment and monitor them from outside too. In a less near future, home appliances will be able to make autonomous choices, minimizing the human intervention. I like, therefore, to think of the kitchen of tomorrow not as a minimalist environment with furniture that hide appliances, but as a container of technology at the service of man.

Smalvic

1 It is a trend that will develop further, especially in the high-end range. Here design and technology are the password, and designing the kitchen and living space as a unicum is one of the cornerstones of design. To integrate into the cooking space means, from my point of view, to make the elements coexist in an intelligent way, not necessarily to hide, thus seeking innovative solutions. Even in the “normal” kitchen the trend is a design that aims to integrate: not devoted to aesthetics in the absolute sense, but looking for practical solutions, easy in every sense.

2 The “non-traditional” dimensions of ovens and hobs have always been in the heart of Smalvic: we have in the catalog since an immemorial time the 90 cm ovens, but also the 45 or 36 cm ones, and for the hobs … we really have all measures! Also for free-standing cookers, our Less kitchen block is produced in 3 sizes: 90, 120 and 150 cm. Our company has chosen to have a wide range of measures and solutions (think for example of the a gas oven) to be competitive in international markets. In Italy the new “out-of-size” measures are also the result of the trend that sees the cooking area and the cooking activity itself as the beating heart of the home and that makes the kitchen the place of the aggregation for excellence.

3 The aesthetic component is very important, but we must not forget some more technical aspects such as the compatibility of the used materials and the measures. The insertion of the appliance must be done in a rational way, taking into account the needs of the built-in and so correct distances, spaces for venting, materials able of supporting a functional combination… for us, integration into the kitchen is not just a furnishing trend.

“In Linear” by Smalvic represents a 360° integration of cooking functions with other needs of contemporary kitchen. The basic combination provides a double column composed of a 60 cm oven flanked by a compact oven (or another household appliance), with underneath the warming drawer or objects box.

Zepa-Teka

1 We at Zepa- Teka Group believe that the trend will be directed towards increasingly functional and modular areas, with specialized blocks for cooking, storage and washing. The basic purpose is obviously to pursue the stylistic rigor of the whole. This belief is confirmed by what emerged at the Salone del Mobile 2018 or at IFA in Berlin, where the main drivers were the prestigious materials, the personalization of the spaces and the combination of living and kitchen in general. The classic subdivision of base/hanging furniture has thus been overcome to reach equipped areas, hidden by retractable doors or even integrated into monolithic blocks. And in all this, home appliances become protagonists of furnishing.

2 Undoubtedly. The not “traditional” dimensions first had an impact on the height of kitchen cupboards and worktops. In fact, the traditional depth of the 60 cm bases has reached greater and more ergonomic measurements, and this has happened for a simple reason: increasing the depth of the bases means lowering the wall units that so take on a much more functional position. In addition, the depth of 80 cm allows greater visibility on the work surface and offers the possibility of cooking in a more open space, eliminating the sense of constraint and increasing the freedom of movement. For these reasons, the home appliances world has embraced this new stylistic and functional trend with the creation of larger products than the classic 60×60 cm: just think that the Zepa turnover related to the aforementioned models is constantly increasing by 20%.

3 First of all, we are looking at a transformation of the kitchen that is no longer, as in the past, the place around which the family reunites; in fact nowadays the kitchen is furnished according to the ritual taste of the visit and no longer of the affections. Just like in fashion, there is the search of a total look for the kitchen and for the home, and we start talking about total living. In my opinion, therefore, given this stylistic/functional trend, attention to detail and attention to high quality are very important integrating factors in the creation of a homogeneous environment, as well as the uniformity of style and design.

The Blend Line of Zepa combines gas and induction technology. These products are characterized by several pluses: touch controls combined with front knobs, automatic ignition, timer, Auto Lock security device and residual heat indicator.
