The pillars of the kitchen area inspired by the legendary 50s
Looking back to the past, but without simply copying and pasting. The aesthetic rediscovery of 50s kitchen furniture must always fit into the path of intelligent recovery of key elements of the style of the time, without slipping into kitsch.
The secret lies in knowing how to dose wisely furniture, accessories and colors to create an atmosphere that is inspired by the 50s, but that preserves a contemporary touch, in a pleasant contrast. Otherwise the unwanted effect is that of finding yourself on a film set (do you remember the houses of Happy Days?).
Let's start with the basics: choose furniture with clean, rounded and rounded lines, perhaps with lacquered surfaces in pastel or bright colors such as mint green, butter yellow and powder blue.
The fluid and organic shapes, typical of those years, convey a sense of softness, joy and welcome, perfect for making the kitchen functional and convivial at the same time.
If you want (and can) make an investment, buy a couple of designer pieces from the 50s for your kitchen, for example the iconic table and chair set from the Tulip series by Eero Saarinen for Knoll or the Eames Plastic Side Chair RE DSW (perhaps in different colors for a fun chromatic mix and match). These are immortal elements, worthy representatives of an era.
