Goal For The Green

In the Valcucine Milan Brera space, during the Milan Design Week – April 9-13, 2013, 10:00Am-10:00PM, it will be possible to enjoy a direct experience of the elements that have always strongly distinguished Valcucine’s DNA: the handicraft expertise of the workmanship, the information that accompanies the company’s transparency, the research and analysis into materials and superior quality that make Valcucine special and unique.

In a previous post of mine, A 100% Recyclable Kitchen  you will notice the rigorous, minimalist, ergonomic design of the Invitrum kitchens. The attention to eco-sustainability lives in perfect harmony with natural materials and with precious handicraft workmanship, as you will notice in the video below.

No other company in the world can boast units as special as those produced by Valcucine. Technology and craftsmanship coupled together with the special attention to details are some of  the secrets that make Valcucine’s products fully resistant and reliable as years go by, guaranteeing their long life and use.

Wall units and those with coplanar, sliding doors are inspired by and designed following the concept of lightness. They offer a revolutionary interpretation of kitchen ergonomics and the Invitrum base units are the first 100% recyclable base units in glass and aluminum. The Living Valcucine base units make it possible to harmonize the design of the living room area with that of the kitchen. With the option to use the copious cupboard unit that has coplanar sliding doors, it is now possible to customize your kitchen and make it totally unique by means of an artistic and handicraft decor.

While the clean and ergonomic design may not suit everyone’s taste, one thing is certain, it is beautiful, and it is green.  You now have the option to purchase, assemble, disassemble and reuse your 100% recyclable kitchen. It is a wise investment to be able to take your kitchen with you when or if you move, making it money well spent and greenbacks in your wallet.

Remember, in December 2010, when I posted Congratulations to Valcucine , for an award they received?  Well, they’ve done it again.

Valcucine Receives Green Award

Valcucine,  has received another important acknowledgment: the GREEN GOOD DESIGN AWARD for their Invitrum 100% system.  Theirs, is the first, fully recyclable glass base unit, with recycled aluminum parts and a single, 10 mm thick, structural side panel.

Valcucine’s philosophy, is that of a company whose work method, is based on a system that balances the use and the restoration of environmental resources.  They save on raw materials, by favoring a design that is focused on materialization, the ability to recycle it, and the re-utilization of products, at the end of their lifespan.

Why Green Good Design Award Chose Valcucine

This is a new challenge, within the prestigious GREEN GOOD DESIGN AWARD contest, founded in 1950 in Chicago by Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames and Edgar Kaufmann Jr.  Every year, the GREEN GOOD DESIGN AWARDS contest, gives special recognition to the designers and companies, that achieve design excellence.  The goal, is to promote a healthier and more sustainable environment by means of their innovative products.
