Versatile and multipurpose

873

As flexible and multitasking as those who live there: this is Universe, an innovative kitchen idea, the result of the collaboration between Lineaquattro (a company that has been operating in the Italian and international kitchen furniture market for over twenty years) and the designer Antonio Lanzillo, winner of the Compasso d’Oro in 2020 and founder of the Antonio Lanzillo & Partners Studio. Universe is an original and creative response to the changing needs of living: in a very short time, in fact, the ways of using the kitchen environment have changed and the experience of smart working has revolutionized the way of living this space of the house, highlighting the need of versatile solutions in which it is possible to carry out several functions at the same time.

An innovative island
The collaboration between Antonio Lanzillo & Partners and Lineaquattro was born from the common desire to trace a new path in the design of the modular kitchen. Universe is a collection that stands out for a precise search for formal originality and functional innovation, combined with the attention to sustainability, not only as regards the choice of materials but also for the benefits related to the user experience in the optics of greater well-being and quality of life. Universe, one of the Lineaquattro models of the Discovery platform, was presented at Eurocucina 2022 in an island composition with a contemporary and essential style: it is a multifunctional product, designed for cooking, sharing, eating, working, studying and relating. The island, in fact, has an area dedicated to food preparation (where the hob, oven and sink are located), a dining area with table and chairs and an area designed for work and study. It is a versatile product, which allows infinite modularity to best meet the needs related to the evolution of the domestic space.
