Architizer award winning ”hyper kitchen” by Nero Cucine

Italian brand, Nero Cucine, announced it has been recognized with a prestigious Architizer A+ Award in the Kitchen Cabinetry & Millwork products category for its Hyper Kitchen N0 37, whose main feature is a dynamic countertop that can be raised to turn an elegant block into a fully functional kitchen.

At first glance, this kitchen is striking for its inherent sculptural simplicity and monolithic look: a precious surface made of Corian (or marble), seemingly inadequate for prepping elaborate meals, can be lifted through the innovative Wing Top mechanism designed by Nero Cucine to uncover a stainless steel countertop featuring a working area with a welded sink and a retractable faucet. The Wing Top mechanism is completely concealed, and it is operated manually, ensuring smooth operability and durability over time. Once the top is fully up, forming a 90 degree angle with the under surface, it turns de facto into a backsplash equipped with a sensor LED light pointed on the cooking counter.

The stainless steel backsplash alleviates the potential concern of staining the material on the exposed top, and it simultaneously adds a very clean aesthetic to the design.

The kitchen redefines the traditional paradigm of function versus form by creating two distinct instances where one can prevail over the other. When the countertop is closed, the monolithic island exists as a sculptural piece. When raised and recessed, it becomes a highly functional workspace. For its versatility, it is an ideal solution for aesthetes who like to entertain and appreciate an elevated culinary experience assisted by technological innovations, but also for a high-end commercial space, like an art gallery, a showroom, or an executive office.

While the use of exclusive materials on the exterior radiates an exquisite aesthetic, the tubular stainless steel used on the internal structure adds timeless charm, lightness, and tactile pleasure.
