A Moveable Feast: A Modular Kitchen from an Italian Architect - Remodelista
It’s a genius European idea that hasn’t caught on in the US yet: the modular kitchen that you take with you when you move house. The Dolmen version of the Convivio kitchen is a freestanding unit with a black or white marble countertop and matte black or white tubular hood. The white Dolmen countertop is available in either Calacatta Borghini marble or Carrara marble. The second version of the Convivio, called Forgia, has a hand-brushed and hand-forged stainless steel countertop and hood. This Forgia worktop rests on an Inno dining table, featuring turned wood legs and a wood tabletop hovering on an internal metal frame. The Forgia system can be freestanding or mounted against a wall. Like the Dolmen marble unit above, this workspace has a stainless steel panel beneath for keeping pots and pans within easy reach. The grand idea of the Convivio system is that complementary tables, chairs, and benches can be added around the central “hearth” to create a customizable kitchen, living, and dining room in one. Both the stainless and marble versions of the kitchen feature four streamlined burner knobs on the side of the cooktop. This Dolmen version uses an electric cooktop instead of gas and a counter made of matte black marquina marble.
