Luxury Italian kitchen brands: design for your home

These examples offer different starting points for a design conversation. Each brand has a wider collection, and the right configuration depends on your home.

Boffi’s Cove, by Zaha Hadid Design, makes the island a significant object in the interior. Its curved form offers an expressive starting point for a room in which the kitchen is intended to be seen from several directions. Boffi’s current presentation includes a full-length counter along the rear of the island.

Consider how that shape meets the architecture: the approach from the living room, the space around the island and what remains in view when people sit down. A sculptural kitchen needs a composition that gives it room to be appreciated. Explore Boffi Cove.

Poliform’s Alea Pro develops its character through linear profiles, opening channels, carefully drawn edges and combinations of materials. The current system includes display elements and connections to the dining area through Link sliding doors.

This is a useful direction to explore when the kitchen shares its setting with dining and living spaces. Look at the relationship between cabinetry, doors and neighbouring furniture. The quality of the composition rests in those relationships as much as in an individual finish. Explore Poliform Alea Pro.

Arclinea’s Convivium with Lapis, designed by Antonio Citterio, brings the island and a high table into a connected composition. Its arrangement gives cooking and informal dining a shared setting, with folding doors allowing parts of the working area to be revealed or concealed.

For someone who enjoys hosting close friends around the kitchen, that relationship deserves attention. Decide where people will sit, how conversation will continue while food is prepared and whether the room should change character once dinner begins. Explore Arclinea Convivium.

Molteni&C’s kitchen collection carries the Dada Engineered identity. Prime, developed by its R&D division, includes a snack counter that extends the composition into a place to sit, alongside storage and working elements.

When considering a kitchen within a larger interior, review it together with the adjoining dining space, furniture and joinery. Samples should be seen beside one another: a timber tone that is convincing on its own may change when placed against the floor, a stone surface or the next room’s cabinetry.

Officine Gullo’s OG Professional cooking blocks can be configured in size, cooking functions, colours and metal finishes. The cooking equipment becomes a defining part of the interior: a substantial block, a matching hood and metalwork that can sit against stone, timber or painted cabinetry.

Start with the way the kitchen will be used. A keen home cook and a private chef may prefer different combinations of equipment and working space. Consider the cooking block together with the extraction, preparation surfaces and surrounding cabinetry, giving the practical work of cooking a place within the room’s composition.

Some owners want to cook at the centre of the room. Others value a beautiful family kitchen while a separate area supports more intensive preparation. Many homes need to accommodate both personal use and help from staff, at different times.

Discuss a normal morning and an evening with guests before fixing the layout. Where is breakfast prepared? Does a chef need to work while the family eats? Where do plates return after dinner? Which sounds and movements should remain outside the room where you are entertaining?

These answers influence entrances, storage, extraction and the relationship with dining. They also help establish whether one kitchen is enough. The design should suit the household’s actual preferences; a second kitchen is a choice to examine, rather than a requirement of luxury.

For our private residence project in Phnom Penh, the family kitchen forms part of a wider interior design that includes dining, living, wine, cinema and treatment spaces. In the kitchen design, a stone island and timber cabinetry sit alongside a view of planting.

The kitchen belongs to that complete architectural composition. Its materials and atmosphere can be considered in relation to the other rooms, while its arrangement serves a particular part of family life. The project images are design visualisations. Explore the private residence.

The design can be developed with an Italian studio and coordinated with the team working at your property. The kitchen needs to be considered in its setting: the measured space, appliances, service connections and adjoining rooms. For an existing home, access and installation can affect the design before an order is placed.

AD’ can develop the kitchen as part of the interior architecture of your residence. If you already have a designer, a separate Furnishing & Procurement appointment can cover selection and purchasing on your behalf at source in Italy, with delivery and installation responsibilities agreed for the project.
