Can the interior of a car inspire a design cuisine? The answer is yes. Just admire what he produced Reggio Gaetano Zerbi, entrepreneur, coachbuilder and car passionate. He used all his inspiration to conceive a new Kitchen line, drawing the input from the personalized composition of the dashboard of his own small car. His cuisine therefore takes inspiration from the internal front of a well -known Italian car model. Thus, from the reinterpretation and adaptation of the lines, the one that renamed “Cuisine and wall units with interchangeable frontalini with colors and custom graphics” was born. The “concept” – keeps Zerbi specifies – is generated by ergonomyfrom the traits and dimensions of the dashboard subsequently adapted to the basic module for the design of a kitchen.
From the restyling of the functions of the dashboard (from the instruments to the spies, from the side air vents to the car radio, from the storage compartment to the heating controls, ventilation, air conditioning) here is the sinuous and rounded line of the functional element. From a technical point of view, the shell that covers the aluminum frame has a double roundabout of 13 centimeters, one in the longitudinal sense and one in the transversal one. The front of the kitchen enjoys a 5 -meter linear development and consists of drawers and baskets. The central drawers and the middle part have a strong reference to the car dashboard, there are four variable height drawers, handles for the opening of the drawers and buttons for the commands of the lights derived from the stylization of the ventilation and air conditioning controls of the car.
In a compartment, the stereo is even hosted, whose Wi-Fi coffers are placed on the sidelines of the wall units. At the ends two circular elements recall the lateral air vents which in the “Kitchen” become housing for the bottles. On the left side of the front is the oven, which geometrically is the transposition of the tools and spies. An elliptical trend LED strip, unwitted in the front, delimits the system of drawers and removable baskets. Doors and baskets that enjoy interchangeable frontalini, so that they can alternate colors and graphics. Numerous colors and motifs possible: from the national tricolor to the sporting theme, from the sea landscape to the urban Sky Line. The work surface consists of an integrated hob with five burners, on the sides of the hob and contiguous to it there are two worktops, a double sink with drip and the top of the oven equipped with a system of basketball warmer.
The wall units are divided into two shelves and the hood. The geometric line of the shelves is the same as the front (double rounding), the difference lies in the fact that almost all the surfaces is translucent. The hood consists of the burnished metal engine compartment while a semi -milurvous glass surface acts as a bounce top of the cooking fumes. The shelves have a single door that can be opened in Vasistas with counterweight system. The type recalls the bag of the luggage compartment, while the glazed element of the hood the front windshield. At the ends two rounded elements conceal the Wi-Fi speakers for the audio diffusion system. Gaetano Zerbi, on January 21, 2015, filed the application for recording the design and model to the Reggio Calabria Chamber of Commerce. His creations are on showcase on the Instagram page Vintage_Cucine_italiane.
