Design Made in Italy, refinement of materials and attention to detail characterize the story of Schiffini, the Ligurian company specializing in the world of kitchen furnishings, recently acquired by SCIC, which relaunched its image with a youthful and modern look.
Among the most emblematic kitchens of the brand’s production, the Cinqueterre kitchen, designed by Vico Magistretti, can rightfully be considered a landmark in the history of Italian design. A balanced synthesis of innovation and design, when it was presented in 1999, it marked a true revolution, breaking into a market which was dominated by laminate in all its forms and finishes with its industrial aluminum aesthetic.
Today, the Cinqueterre continues to be absolutely contemporary, to the point that nothing has been changed in its aluminum extrusions that made it unique. Even for the handle, the original section was maintained, with only the length recalibrated to extend it along the entire length without any apparent interruption.
In addition to modularity recalibrated for contemporary demands and adaptability to current technologies, now the kitchen “Tribute to Cinqueterre by Vico Magistretti“ introduces a different material dimension: alongside the iconic anodized aluminum finish, is now introduced a natural stone, particularly Portoro, a precious variety of black limestone from the western area of the Gulf of La Spezia, in tribute to the brand’s origins, for a real timeless kitchen.
