A chef’s home kitchen in Milan

A recently refurbished Milan apartment from the seventies is home to a famous chef. She lives here with her husband and two children in a warm and welcoming space designed to enjoy the beauty of everyday life.

The bespoke kitchen island in stainless steel has a dual purpose. It looks and feels warm and smooth while also offering the highest performance levels. It can be interpreted as a table for informal family gatherings or enjoyed as a generous work surface on which to try new recipes. Leaning against a side wall, a large tall unit holds the V-ZUG “CombairSteamer V6000 60”, a fully fledged oven complemented by gentle steaming techniques and automatic programs – an ideal solution for small spaces. The stainless steel wall unit is a hybrid solution that mixes functionality and aesthetics, concealing high-tech appliances inside a cabinet with a vintage look. Its design goes very well with the nearby wooden bar cabinet, a modern piece dating back to the 1950s.
