We spotlight kitchens that use innovation as a helm in their designs

01. Ikat Kitchen by Bizzotto Italia

A monobloc compact system contains a hidden treasure-chest of high-end household appliances in this kitchen, which seamlessly integrates multifunctional technological solutions and an ideal lighting system for unparalleled visual and functional comfort. 

At the heart of the Ikat kitchen is a passion for raw materials, showcased through the use of elegant natural oak wood doors with a warm hazelnut finish that blend seamlessly with luxury interior design schemes, exuding timeless sophistication. The kitchen’s tall cabinets feature four sliding doors that fold away in a pocket system, offering effortless access to storage spaces. Corner units with doors maximise the utilisation of available space, ensuring functionality without compromising on aesthetics.

One of the standout features of the Ikat kitchen is its innovative island, featuring a top crafted from Dekton by Cosentino. This high-tech material represents a new era in kitchen surfaces, blending more than 20 minerals extracted from nature using exclusive TSP technology. Dekton is an ultracompact material with superior performance, boasting unrivalled durability, beauty and sustainability with zero carbon emissions.

The island’s sliding surface conceals the sink and mixer tap, providing a sleek and immaculate working counter in contemporary style. This seamless integration of design elements and technology makes Ikat a perfect fusion of aesthetic elegance and leading-edge innovation.With its sophisticated blend of materials, state-of-the-art appliances and meticulous attention to detail, the Ikat kitchen by Bizzotto Italia sets a new standard for luxury kitchens, catering to discerning homeowners who seek both style and functionality in their living spaces.

02. SuperOven by Unix Casa

Offering a seamless fusion of state-of-the-art technology and iconic Italian design, Unox Casa’s SuperOven is perfectly tailored for the most sophisticated spaces. This kitchen marvel integrates professional-grade functionality with elegant aesthetics, elevating the overall culinary experience. At the heart of SuperOven’s innovation is its intuitive digital control panel. This user-friendly interface grants access to over 400 cooking programmes, making gourmet cooking a breeze.

Practicality meets precision with the oven’s meticulously designed accessory drawer. This built-in feature keeps kitchen utensils, professional trays, smokers and detergents organised and within easy reach, ensuring a clutter-free workspace and enhancing efficiency. SuperOven also excels in helping to maintain a pristine kitchen environment. Its built-in hood, equipped with a steam condenser and professional active carbon filters, effectively absorbs cooking vapours and eliminates odours.

03. Customised Häcker Kitchen

This kitchen designed by Julia Eissing for Häcker Kitchens for a home in Arabian Ranches II epitomises sophisticated modern living. The kitchen features Häcker’s handleless AV2135 matte lacquer cabinets in graphite, paired with natural walnut wall cladding. Complementing this, the Silestone Arden Blue worktop with volcano finish adds a striking visual element. Equipped with a complete collection of Miele appliances, the kitchen’s black accents are seamlessly integrated, enhancing the overall aesthetic. Yet Häcker’s design goes beyond visual appeal, incorporating a myriad of functional storage solutions, including pull-outs, LeMans corner units and ventilated drawers. The strategically placed 90-centimetre Miele oven, positioned at eye level, ensures ease and enjoyment during cooking.

The added pantry includes tall units for supplies, open shelves for accessibility and ventilated drawers for vegetable storage, providing ample and organised storage solutions. The central two-metre island, designated for cooking and storage, eliminates the need for additional seating, aligning with the homeowner’s preference for dining at an expansive dining table. The Volcano worktop by Silestone, featuring shark nose edging and channel handle lighting, creates a floating illusion, adding to the kitchen’s visual intrigue. Every detail, from the channel handle lighting to the drawers, is meticulously crafted to ensure a balance of functionality and aesthetics.
