HC.08 MINIMAL represents a new architectural approach where shapes are reduced to the minimum: the kitchen is composed only of a cabinet wall and an island, both closed with innovative super-matte surfaces, extremely velvety for a pleasant soft-touch effect.
Hiding and revealing functions is the trend of the most advanced kitchens, which can quickly close back into sculptural monoblocks.
These are solutions where a rigorous process of subtraction eliminates all excess, defining the space as the place of pure volumes.
The high impermeability of HPL makes it particularly suitable for integrating the sink into the worktop, enhancing the stylistic coherence of the design.
This certified material is especially recommended for contact with food and allows for textured surfaces with excellent functional and aesthetic qualities, pleasant to both sight and touch.
Thanks to its thickness, which can be increased up to 14 cm, stratificato is also used in the cooking area, where a stone-effect volume juts out from the kitchen island.
The island is made in verde kitami laminate and features floor-length doors on the front side, creating a monochromatic monolith with a strong aesthetic impact.
Be inspired by the new HC.08 color range, from warm shades to bold tones: the new color trends offer solutions suitable for every interior style, combining elegance, personality, and modernity. Green in the kitchen is a versatile and trendy design choice, capable of creating fresh, relaxing, and harmonious spaces. It pairs well with neutral tones and metal details.
The most requested shades of green include verde kitami and verde comodoro. The silk-effect kitchen doors are made with next-generation laminates on an MDF core: a quality choice that provides a silky surface to the touch while being highly resistant. This type of laminate is known for its ease of cleaning and scratch resistance, making it ideal for domestic environments.
Alternatively, in ASTRA Cucine the silk effect can also be obtained using materials other than laminate, such as matte lacquer or Fenix, both of which offer a soft yet durable finish.
COLONNE CON ANTE A SCOMPARSA
The kitchen work area is easily accessible, and a quick press on the door is all it takes to hide the entire area. A true 'world' of functionality is concealed within the equipped columns, designed with retractable doors to leave the interior completely open when needed. These columns are conceived as fully equipped work zones with pull-out accessories and can accommodate appliances such as ovens and wine coolers.
REAL CANNETTATO WOOD
'Cannettato' is a refined decorative technique that creates a three-dimensional effect on wood surfaces. It adds a soft richness to the environment—a luxury that is never ostentatious—resulting in a virtuous encounter between eras: the secret of Italian living. For this collection, real Noce Canaletto wood has been selected for its fine workmanship, bringing character and volume to the furniture without weighing it down.
