If one piece were to symbolize the overall design vocabulary at Milan, it was the classic Parson's table - a form that was widely used to intersect with or relate to other pieces, often at different angles and heights. Sometimes the form jutted out as an open end to a run of cabinets, while other times a series of these rhyming shapes intersected to create an island. In storage systems, there was a tendency to mix closed cabinets with elegant open shelving as part of a system. Cabinet doors emphasized the horizontal. Rather than typical wall cabinets, Italian and German designers often used long, horizontal flip-up doors like those in airplane luggage compartments - but much more elegant, often with glass doors framed in aluminium. In some cases, the horizontal motif gave way to a vertical one at the end of the room, where the kitchen would transition into the dining room. Setting off the cabinets were quiet, elegant countertops of either solid surfacing, quartz composite, or even laminate. The quartz composite had a much finer particulate than commonly seen here. Stainless countertops were the workhorses of the kitchen, with integrated cook tops and sinks all as one piece. Glass countertops provided another note of elegance, raised on arched mouldings that served as platforms. |
