Summary for decision-makers
Summary for decision-makers
Kitchen design relies on ergonomic, modular, and sustainable solutions, integrating base and wall units, optimized drawers, pull-out units, and pull-out cabinets. Materials are chosen for their resistance to humidity, impacts, and heat. Current trends favor clean lines, matte or wood finishes, open-plan kitchens, and multifunctional islands with concealed storage for a seamless aesthetic.
Kitchen design varies according to region and local customs: optimization of small urban spaces, natural materials in rural areas, light-filled solutions in the north, open-plan kitchens in the south, and protection against humidity in coastal areas. This regional adaptation relies on a network of specialists to guarantee ergonomics, design, and the long-term viability of each project.
