SP.22 tall units in matt lacquered Piombo Metallic effect, same finish used for base units in the island’s cooking area. In the washing area, SP.22 laminate Bianco Malè is used for base units. The worktop combined with these ones is in HPL stratificato Bianco Malè, creating a solid and clean look.
The kitchen changes its face: from a purely functional concept, it becomes an environment that engages all the senses — especially touch — thanks to innovative soft touch surfaces.
The Metallic effect lacquering
The metallic effect lacquered doors offer a modern and sophisticated aesthetic, combining the practicality of lacquer with the brightness and visual impact of metal.
Special lacquers inspired by metallic surfaces give ASTRA kitchens an industrial look, expressed in a range of neutral tones — from grey to deep shades of piombo, bronzo, and terra.
If you want to give your kitchen a new life with an urban style, this aesthetic solution is the right choice for you.
Kitchens with doors extending all the way to the floor — that is without a visible plinth — offer a key aesthetic advantage: a more modern, lighter and spacious look, with a cleaner and continuous line, especially when combined with materials that extend down to the floor.
These floor-touching doors are often associated with a modern and elegant style, creating a visual continuity that fits perfectly in open-space and minimalist environments.
Down draft — or retractable — hoods offer several advantages, mainly related to design and efficiency.
They provide a clean and elegant look for the kitchen, eliminate the bulk of a traditional hood and ensure effective suction directly from the source, reducing the spread of odors and fumes.
The fronts of the columns are characterized by a slanted metallic profile on the edge, protecting them from hand contact and more severe impacts.
The Slash handle integrates into the door with a 30° cut and features a small “tooth” along the upper edge, improving grip and making the door easier to open.
The “Space of Ideas” embodies the desire to find effective solutions to enhance pantry organization.
In the background, the ceiling-to-floor bookcase is made of 20x20 mm metal extrusion in Metal Grey finish and is available in various heights.
Designed for ceiling mounting with floor adjustment, it supports shelves of different thicknesses fixed to corresponding crossbars.
The snack counter in laminate thermo-structured Rovere Nobile adds lightness to this kitchen area, where one can sit informally on a stool to enjoy a meal or breakfast without setting the table — just like at a café.
THE VERTIGO SYSTEM
The vertically developed metal elements of the Vertigo system create new spaces within the home, giving character to the design.
Thanks to the wide range of available sizes and the option to customize back panel and shelves, it’s possible to create an equipped wall with a light and dynamic appearance — in contrast with the tendency to conceal details like in the tall units with retractable doors.
These structures are specifically designed to provide generous space for storing utensils, accessories, and even small appliances, keeping them visible and accessible only when needed.
A living material capable of telling its story through knots and grains, wood maintains its deep connection with the earth and the passage of time.
No other material can replicate its tactile warmth or the uniqueness of its natural surface — it is one of a kind, unrepeatable, and exclusive.
For those who love the charm and warmth of real Oak, ASTRA Cucine offers the “mezza fiamma” version, designed to achieve doors with a uniform grain pattern.
Alternatively, the “Rovere Nodato Spaccato” variant enhances the morphological features of a unique material, where cracks, knots, and color variations guarantee the authenticity and natural beauty of the product.
