Cecilia Avogadro enjoys making tomato passata with friends on long summer days. Isabella Franco, half-French, spent hours as a child preparing dishes with her grandmother, a skilled cook. Rituals and memories are part of every kitchen, which the two founders of LupettAtelier consider the heart of the home and often the heart of the entire project–the starting point for the creative ideas that will give coherence to the different environments. We asked them to tell us how they interpret this space.

In the kitchen, everything starts with the customer’s aesthetic and functional wishes. How big it should be, how many burners, how many worktops, but also what colours and shapes they prefer.

Designing a kitchen is an art of constantly changing balances. A blend of materials, first and foremost wood and stone, and colour treatments. All the elements are designed and made to measure, a challenge that together with Mo.1950 is never impossible. The outcome combines practicality with the ability to surprise, conveying the joy with which it was designed.
