What links a collection that is conceived for the different rooms of the house?

Synergistic recognition is certainly the bridging element, a true distinctive feature of the entire collection, which frames the furniture by defining its profile, making it uniform and emphasizing its compactness.

Dandy Plus talks about the past by looking at the present. If the shrinking of spaces leads to a hybridization of functions, the only real attraction remains the kitchen, becoming the compass point of our living. The direct reference is to Scavolini's historical model, Dandy, which really made history in the hearts of Italians. We have updated its shapes, playing with accent colors. When Italian design treats technology, it does so in an expressive, colorful and non-minimal way. Not surprisingly, its formal language refers to the iconicity and inclusiveness of Italian design of the 60s and 70s, to companies such as Olivetti and authors such as Sottsass and Bellini.

What is the role of technology in this system?

Una cucina “parlante” quindi, e connessa grazie a un assistente vocale che, con le sue funzionalità all’avanguardia, si rivela un’alleata fondamentale per suggerire una ricetta, intrattenere con musica di sottofondo e ancora, ordinare un delivery laddove la preparazione della cena non andasse per il verso giusto.
