Aran Cucine CUCINAnD’O Kitchen

July 21, 2022

CUCINAnD’O melts two keywords — cucina, kitchen, and D’O, a famous restaurant in Cornaredo, in the province of Milan — into Aran Cucine’s newest kitchen offering.  

The kitchen conceived by Chef Davide Oldani and designed in collaboration with Attila Veress well represents his philosophy of pop cuisine — quality and sustainability are the underpinnings of the domestic architecture created by the Milan-born chef for Aran Cucine and introduced at EuroCucina 2022. 

The minimal design of the central island block underlines the attention to the intelligent consumption that Oldani himself promotes through an idea of waste-free cuisine, based on a simple principle — to avoid the excesses, it is necessary not to produce them. The definition and distribution of all the CUCINAnD’O spaces mirror the values of a sustainable kitchen, capable of evolving and awakening those who personally live in these spaces. The ‘eliminate excess’ philosophy is reflected in the most operational part, with the induction hobs and the composition of black aluminum shelves integrated into a stainless-steel worktop, but also in the pocket doors that expand all along the kitchen wall, as marks of extreme essentiality. 

The formal balance and elegance of this structure, gray matte lacquered, allows users to take advantage of the convivial space — internally, thanks to an organized division in compartments with pullout shelves and fully integrated drawers and appliances, the conservation of raw materials and the preparation of the dishes are made easier by the possibility to have all the necessary on hand. 

The balance of contrasts, the other tenet on which Oldani’s cuisine is based, returns under a new guise in CUCINAnD’O: the use and the alternation of natural and artificial materials is fundamental to always find new ideas, not to surrender to the routine. The stainless-steel worktop naturally continues in the round snack side in elm at the same level.

This new collaboration started from the research that Aran Cucine and Milesi carry to propose green solutions, exploring the trials of eco-friendly and sustainable materials that within CUCINAnD’O meet in an important space of the domestic dimension.
