Among the unmissable events of the Salone del Mobile 2018, there was certainly EuroCucina: the perfect place to discover new creations related to the kitchen environment. A world in constant evolution pushed more and more by television programs that talk about cooking and that make us all terrible Masterchefs!

Barazza, Elica, Samsung, Kitchen Aid and Smeg, on the other hand, showed a technological world that is increasingly attentive to the environment but with a precise brand strategy: getting to the heart of the small Masterchef that resides in each of us.

For lovers of closed kitchens covered by prying eyes, Rastelli and Stosa Cucine presented a system of panels that allow the kitchen wall to be opened and closed as needed.
