VALCUCINE REDESIGNS NEW LOGICA: MORE SILENT THAN A FLOATING FEATHER
The back panel with magical doors
Valcucine has always stood out for its focus on human well-being through the pursuit of solutions that enhance daily interaction with the kitchen, creating new user experiences through distinctive special elements. Among the most innovative and recognisable special elements designed by Gabriele Centazzo, the equipped back panel New Logica is characterised by upper tilting doors and downward sliding doors that open and close smoothly to reveal its full functionality.
At the Milan Design Week 2024, Valcucine presented the redesign of this special element. New Logica has been rethought, identifying three distinct areas – cooking, washing, and preparation – and re-equipped thanks to the introduction of new wooden elements designed by Gabriele Centazzo and new internal accessories in walnut, enriching the functionality of the work areas.
Preparation area
The preparation area offers convenience and organization with accessories such as bottle and glass holders, a wooden utensil box, a utensil holder bar, and a suspended shelf. The electrified bar provides outlets for appliances, while the tablet holder facilitates recipe consultation. Accessories like the film holder and the hook make tools easily accessible. Rotating containers and wooden spice racks add versatility. The following are also present a preparation kit composed of two cutting boards, knife holder, and rolling pin.
Cooking area
The cooking area is designed to maximize practicality and efficiency during kitchen use. Thanks to the utensil holder bar and the suspended shelf, utensils are always within reach, while the hook and pot holder facilitate immediate access to necessary tools. Rotating containers and spice racks, along with the wooden utensil holder, offer smart solutions for organizing and keeping kitchen accessories in order, ensuring an ergonomic and comfortable experience.
Washing area
The washing area is an environment where practicality merges with aesthetics. Equipped with accessories such as the dish rack and glass drainer accessory optimized in size to hold four place settings to increase available space and the utensil holder bar and the suspended shelf, it provides smart solutions to keep the workspace tidy. The hook and the pot holder ensure quick access to essential utensils during cleaning. Additionally, the integrated paper roll holder ensures that the paper is always within reach for quick and convenient use
Aware that architectural integration has become crucial in high-end kitchen design, the special element New Logica also enriches itself with the possibility of vertical development. The introduction of a new coating for the characteristic balance system allows for the design of additional wall units above the special element or to achieve the full verticality of the kitchen space up to the ceiling.
