Elektra kitchen

• Designed by Pietro Arosio.
• Debuted at Milan’s Eurocucina 2006.

• Pietro Arosio graduated from the Institute of Applied Arts in Monza in 1965.
• He started his own studio in 1972, designing for some of Italy’s leading interiors and furniture manufacturers.
• He was awarded the Casaviva d'Oro first prize in 1983 for kitchen designs.
• Arosio’s work has been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Modern Arts Museum in Munich.
• Other Ernestomeda designs by Arosio are Solaris, Silverbox and Silverbox TK.

• Elektra is a modern kitchen organized for the highest degree of efficiency, providing ease and manageability for the serious cook.
• The layout is broken down into a set of five stacked horizontal layers, each serving a distinct function while all fitting attractively into the overall design scheme.

• First Layer: Provides room for the bulkiest utensils and equipment.
• Second Layer: Directly beneath the worktop, stores smaller utensils and leaves room for plumbing around the sinks.
• Third Layer: Is the worktop, which is highly customizable in both function and finish.
• Fourth Layer: This first layer of the cabinet zone features a flap opening for convenient storage of items in everyday use.
• Fifth Layer: The second layer of the cabinet zone comprises a roomy pantry that is easily accessible.

• A range of materials including traditional stainless steel and lacquer, luxury marble and Corian® can be combined in tailor-made designs, contours, shapes and thicknesses, punctuating Elektra’s streamlined appeal.
• The subdivided cabinet layers feature two doors. Both have flap openings for easy accessibility, and are separated by an aluminum groove.
• Cupboard interiors contain an illuminating back panel and plate glass shelves.
• An innovative audio system creates an “invisible sound,” with hi-fi sound emitted through the large surfaces of the wall panels and/or worktops.
• Arosio’s “Tornasole” revolving cupboard has seven compartments: two for bottles, one for glasses, and four shelves.
