Back to the Future 2

The kitchen is the heart of the home beating at a pace dictated by those who live there. Many individuals find comfort and safety in tradition, choosing styles, colours and textures that encourage reflection and a sense of place.

This kitchen conjures up an image of a muddy gun boots and the aroma of pipe tobacco smoke mixed with home made pies. This is a timeless design with the quality of something that will not go away.

The Mogul likes this type of kitchen as it offers individuals the opportunity to invest in a product that could technically last a life time!

It is therefore appropriate that kitchen designers should now keep their eye firmly fixed on the latest textiles and fabrics to grace the runways of Europe especially now that fabric doors can be specified in their next kitchen design! The Meccanica Kitchen by Valcucine evaporates the traditional rigidity of kitchen installation by using an innovative frame work system that can be transported easily, can be assembled by the end user and is 100% recyclable. It even comes with an end of life cycle “take back guarantee” whereby your old kitchen will be collected, sand blasted and re-coated so that it can re-enter the production cycle! Oh yea and did The Mogul mention that the doors are fabric!! The Mogul knows that this is going to be a huge hit with the more Eco conscious inhabitants of the planet as the concept dramatically reduces the carbon footprint of a kitchen. But for those whose carbon footpr
