Indoor kitchens we have built — page 2

The fitted wall is a library of transparencies: dark-profiled vitrines, backlit in amber, display glasses and bottles like precious volumes above a long, low wooden sideboard with its drawers. To the left, the working zone in metallic-toned stoneware carries the integrated sink and the hob, with a dark column housing the oven. A pale floor and a rose-toned rug soften the scene. Fully equipped, this is a kitchen with the soul of a living room: it shows the beautiful, hides the technical, and accompanies the evening with its calibrated lights. Porcelain stoneware keeps the working surfaces equal to the everyday; the wooden structure gives body and precision. It is the display elegance of Michelessi indoor kitchens — made in Italy, with each vitrine treated as a small work of architecture: calibrated doors, exact lighting, and the wine always in plain, handsome sight.

Three blown-glass lamps descend over the island like transparent bells: beneath them, a white travertine top spreads its luminous stone and receives the ceramic basin that projects from the pale wooden volume — the sink integrated into the counter, a steel mixer at its service. Black stools line the bar; behind, dark grey bases and pale boiserie with a long hood compose the working wall with oven and burners. An oak floor warms the scene. This is the contemporary that does not forget its memory: the farmhouse basin within a modern design, Roman stone above present-day joinery. The white travertine, cut to measure with the basin set in to perfection, is the bridge between the eras — the Michelessi speciality, Italian craftsmanship in stone. And the effect, beneath those bells of glass, is that of things done right: timeless. The white basin, under that suspended glass, seems to have been waiting forever for your hands.

Columns of tactile bronze-toned surfaces rise like walls of ancient metal, housing the twin ovens and the pantry; before them, a white island with a stoneware top spreads its light, and three grey velvet stools on golden frames gather round with the elegance of a boutique hotel. A polished marble-effect floor doubles the reflections; flowers on the island complete the picture. This is contemporary luxury that knows its measure: deep textures, warm metals, practical surfaces where they are needed. Fully equipped, the kitchen works beneath its elegance without letting it show: the stoneware top bears the everyday, the lacquered wooden structure keeps the volumes exact. Bronze-effect finishes ask for well-considered light to give their best — and here they receive it. It is the refined face of Michelessi indoor kitchens: made to measure, craftsmanship throughout, and a counter where the velvet invites you to stay well past the coffee.

Window light crosses the room and settles on the glossy stoneware counter: the white classic-style kitchen unfolds its framed doors, the X-grilles of the bottle rack, a mantel hood above the range with its oven, and a wood-clad built-in refrigerator that disappears into the composition. At the centre, a fog grey island with a pale top organises the preparation; white tile cladding and an oak floor complete the warm, orderly register. With sink and hood closing the equipment, this is the kitchen of a family that entertains often: generous, luminous, tireless. Glossy stoneware counters guarantee surfaces ready for anything; the lacquered wooden structure brings the joinery of substance that classic style demands. It is Michelessi made-to-measure: indoor kitchens built with artisan craftsmanship — and that air of a happy home no catalogue can imitate.

The glazing runs low and brings the horizon of the countryside indoors: before it, the great white island with its glossy stoneware top organises the centre — the sink with its mixer, the preparation surface, a wooden counter gathering the stools. Black columns house the stainless refrigerator and the ovens; pale wooden wall units with a horizontal hood complete the wall, and linear black lamps measure the ceiling. With burners and hood closing the equipment, this is the kitchen of houses open to the landscape: surfaces that gather the light, volumes that never block it. The glossy stoneware top works tirelessly; the lacquered wooden structure keeps the geometry exact. It is the breathable contemporary of Michelessi indoor kitchens: made to measure, Italian craftsmanship — and the plain, beyond the glass, a painting that changes with the seasons. And at day's end, as the light falls, the white island stays lit like a gentle lighthouse.

The regal blue of the columns and island meets the white of wall units and worktops: at the centre, the island carries the induction hob and a small golden sink, while three blue velvet stools on chromed bases line up at the counter beneath glass-sphere pendants. The steel fridge, the built-in oven, prints on the walls and flowers on the worktop complete a scene of cosmopolitan domesticity. With oven, fridge and sink rounding out the equipment, this is a kitchen that manages to be elegant and joyful at once: full colour, measured metals, light everywhere. Velvet at the counter is the statement of intent: here one sits gladly, and at length. The lacquered wood structure guarantees the precision of the two-tone volumes. This is the spirit of Michelessi indoor kitchens: bespoke Italian craftsmanship — and a blue that turns breakfast into a small society event.

The slate-finished island carries the hob and extends its volume into the oak table, where a black stool waits; above, wall units with smoked glass doors display the essentials with elegance, and a suspended dresser completes the visible storage. Cream columns house the oven; a vase of flowers on the table and sphere pendants in the background sign the room. A kitchen complete with oven, sink and integrated fridge: the equipment is declared, and delivered. This is layered contemporary design that works: mineral materials and warm wood, transparency in careful doses, functions distributed with logic. The glass-front dresser is the detail that elevates: calibrated doors, slender profiles, contents turned into decoration. This is the care of Michelessi indoor kitchens: bespoke, lacquered wood structure, handcrafted in Italy — a kitchen that shows exactly what it wishes to show. The rest, discreetly, works.

The pale slatted wood ceiling leads the eye towards the heart of the scene: the island, white and compact, with its integrated hob and the dark wood counter extending it, where two stools await breakfast. Black hoods descend punctually, wall columns keep oven and pantry, the glazing lets in the day. A little further on, the sofa recalls that here the kitchen is not a room: it is the centre of gravity of the home. Designing an open space takes an ear as much as an eye: volumes must speak to one another, materials echo each other without tiring. Michelessi indoor kitchens are born this way, to measure, composing islands, columns and panelling on the real proportions of your space, with worktops ranging from technical surfaces to marble shaped by expert hands. Because around a well-drawn island, life arranges itself. Seeing is believing: homes with an island like this never stay empty for long.

Daylight enters through tall windows and settles on a white kitchen with a classic flavour: framed doors, orderly tall units, the dark hood as a counterpoint above the hob. At the back, a wooden wall gathers shelves and household objects; in the foreground, a simply laid table awaits the next breakfast. It is an image that smells of the everyday, and precisely for that it is precious: Michelessi indoor kitchens are born to be lived in, not merely admired. The framed design of the doors, carried from the tall units down to the bases, gives the composition rhythm without weighing it down, while the dark worktop quietly holds the scene together. Everything can be calibrated to measure — widths, finishes, worktop materials, from laminate to quartz to marble — with the care of Italian craftsmanship accompanying every project, centimetre by centimetre. Here one gladly sets the table even when it is not Sunday: the most sincere of compliments.

The grey marble-effect splashback, crossed by dark veins like winter branches, forms the backdrop to a domestic still life: wooden boards leaning against the wall, worked ceramic vases, a plant entering the frame with its freshness. Above, wall units with glass fronts; below, cream framed doors with discreet handles and a stone-effect worktop. Everything in this image speaks of gentle layering: materials overlapping without collision, as in a house that has had time to become itself. Michelessi indoor kitchens are born to receive this life: surfaces that stand up to daily work, finishes that age well, and the freedom to choose every element to measure, from splashback to worktop, up to authentic marble worked with mastery. Because the perfect kitchen is not the glossy one: it is the one that resembles you. And every object you set upon it will find, as in this image, its natural place.

There is a moment at dusk when the kitchen falls silent and black surfaces absorb the last light: this image captures it. The matte black fronts meet with millimetric precision; on the shelf, two bottles — one white, one dark — and natural wood chopping boards compose a small contemporary still life. Black, here, is not severity: it is depth, quietness, a perfect backdrop for the objects of daily life. Michelessi indoor kitchens know how to wear this more dramatic register too, with matte finishes that repel fingerprints and clean-edged fronts, joined with the precision that only made-to-measure work allows. And when the pale wood of a chopping board, or the white of a ceramic, is set against the black, the scene lights up with nothing more needed. It is the subtractive elegance of Italian craftsmanship: remove, remove again, until only what matters remains. In the morning, a pale board will be enough to rekindle the whole composition: try it and see.

Between the pale wood wall units and the worktop runs a fitted band of black metal: two slender shelves where spice jars, small pots and little aromatic plants stand arrayed like the instruments of a chamber orchestra. The light stone-effect splashback forms a neutral backdrop; below, golden utensils in their holder and the grid of the burners recall that here, soon, there will be cooking. It is the intelligence of open storage: what serves every day stays within reach, and becomes decoration without meaning to. In Michelessi indoor kitchens these elements too are designed to measure, integrated between wall units and splashbacks with the same care devoted to the worktops, from porcelain stoneware to quartz to marble worked in the tradition of Italian craftsmanship. Because a kitchen is not an exhibition: it is a gentle workshop, where everything has its place and its moment. And when the water boils, you need only reach out: everything is already exactly where it should be.

The island stands like a sculpture: waterfall top and sides in black marble streaked with grey, pale veins crossing the dark surface like lightning through a night sky. Around it, the modern kitchen deploys its instruments — steel appliances, a suspended hood descending over the cooktop, white cabinetry warmed by inserts of wood. Light floods in through the glazing and sharpens every contrast. It is proof that dark marble can become the heart of a contemporary kitchen: give it room, and let its natural drawing do the rest. The waterfall detail — the top flowing down the sides without interrupting the veining — is among the most refined exercises in bespoke stonework, and Michelessi performs it with the patience of Italian craftsmanship, slab after slab, so that the material tells a single story.

This is a kitchen unafraid of great occasions: the professional eight-burner range with griddle sits beneath a maxi steel hood like an engine beneath a bonnet; the wall clad in marble strips rises toward white cabinets, and at the centre stands the sharp-edged Carrara marble island, its sink carved into the stone, its crisp arris declaring its modernity. Glass globe pendants and a crystal chandelier, a little further on, soften the total-white rigour. Here the industrial soul — steel, power, generous surfaces — meets the nobility of stone: Carrara worked to a sharp edge demands perfect cuts and unhesitating polish, for any flaw would show at once. That is the level of execution Michelessi guarantees in bespoke marble work: precision in the service of those who take the kitchen seriously. Eight burners lit, Carrara at the centre — the stage is set for grand numbers.

The lights of the fair are mirrored in the reflective ceiling and rain down on the great protagonist: a kitchen on public display, with minimal wenge cabinets and an imposing Carrara marble top running the length of the island — thick, luminous, crossed by veins that seem drawn for the occasion. The steel appliances — the eight-burner range, the ovens, the hood — declare the project's professional vocation; the polished floor doubles every volume. Fairs are the proving ground of the craft: there, every detail is examined by thousands of expert eyes, and imperfections have nowhere to hide. To bring such a kitchen before that audience is to believe in one's own stonework: cuts, thicknesses and polish executed to measure with the pride of Italian craftsmanship. This is Carrara in its finest role: ambassador of Italian stone, before an audience that knows the difference. The fair lights fade; the quality they illuminated remains.

The composition plays on a finely judged contrast: cream doors with a glossy stoneware surface reflect the room's light with discretion, while the peninsula in rustic, knotted wood brings the flavour of living matter into the scene. The dark counter runs thin, the hood presides visibly over the cooking, the black oven recesses into its column: the kitchen is complete with sink, induction hob and every convenience. It is the formula of the warm contemporary: technical surfaces easy to live with, and the soul of solid wood forbidding any coldness. Glossy stoneware is a shrewd choice for those who want elegance without worry: it cleans in a single gesture and does not fear time. The bespoke structure, with its calibrated pairing of finishes, carries the method Michelessi applies to its indoor kitchens: honest materials, precise installation, and a character that does not fade with the fashions.

There is an air of a true home in this kitchen: the base in glossy, rustic-grained solid wood carries the pale counter with its white ceramic sink — the deep kind found in family kitchens; above, cream wall units with gentle frames alternate with the open shelves of the grey dresser, where plates and jars live in the light. Under-cabinet lights kindle the worktop, and the window at the back brings in the green of the garden. It is a kitchen with shelves, dresser and drawers fitted with containers: the practical organisation of houses that work, dressed in materials that warm the gaze. Glossy solid wood is the protagonist: alive, grained, resistant, able to age while improving. This is the philosophy of Michelessi's indoor kitchens: made to measure in dimensions and details, solid in substance, with Italian craftsmanship guaranteeing that every drawer glides well today and in twenty years. Because daily life deserves beauty without fragility.

The kitchen dresses the American classic with Italian measure: white framed wall units rise in good order above diamond-pattern tiling, the great steel double-door fridge holds the working side together with the oven and four burners, and at the centre the grey island with its drawers carries a pale veined marble top, generous as a workbench of another age. Two steel lamps descend punctually, a potted olive adds a Mediterranean note, the dark wooden floor warms everything. This is the kitchen of long Sundays: room to cook in pairs, surfaces that welcome trays and conversation. The solid wood structure guarantees the solidity; the island top, with its discreet veining, brings the nobility of stone into the heart of the home. It is the bespoke project according to Michelessi: Italian craftsmanship, true materials, and a kitchen that seems always to have been there. Across that marble will pass dough, homework and long talks: it was born for exactly this.

The Prussian blue island is the chromatic heart of the scene: above it, a polished white marble top spreads its veined light and holds a plate of oranges like a still life; around it, black wire-frame stools and two dark bell lamps set the graphic rhythm. The perimeter kitchen, in white lacquered wood with framed doors, works with a steel hood, a built-in oven and a sink set flush into the counter; cutting boards resting against the wall add the everyday note. This is the white and blue that never fails: fresh, clean, timeless. The island's polished marble, worked to measure with crisp edges and a precise cut-out, ennobles the colour with its natural substance — the difference you touch every time breakfast is laid. Michelessi guarantees it through its own stonework and artisan craftsmanship: in an indoor kitchen, the detail that lasts is worth more than the effect that fades.

Cherry-coloured wood sets the tone: bases and wall units with satin-glass doors run in an L along the walls, and a polished white marble top crowns them with its fresh, luminous surface, carrying the sink and the gas hob. A small peninsula with stools closes the perimeter; at the centre, a round white table with transparent red chairs adds a pop note that lightens the classic. Fully equipped, this is the kitchen of houses that love tradition without taking themselves too seriously. The polished white marble is its point of quality: true stone above warm wood, cut to measure with the refined edges and exact cut-outs that distinguish Michelessi's work. It is Italian craftsmanship applied to daily life: surfaces that welcome the rolling pin and the Sunday tray, and a balance of tones that never tires.

The black column commands the scene like a family armoire reinvented: slatted panels, burnished handles, a dark and authoritative presence between walls of exposed brick. Beside it, a black island with a Laminam top works at the centre, while pale oak bases and wall units lighten the perimeter together with glossy green tiles that catch the light like old enamel. Golden lanterns descend on cue. Fully equipped, this is a kitchen that layers its eras with ease: urban brick, natural wood, contemporary black, artisanal ceramic. The Laminam top guarantees daily service without betraying the aesthetic; the solid wood structure gives the body that important compositions require. It is the layered taste of Michelessi indoor kitchens: made to measure, with craftsmanship that mixes materials the way a good storyteller mixes tenses — without ever losing the thread.

A wall patterned with great grey leaves brings the winter garden indoors, and the kitchen answers in its classic walnut: an island with framed doors and a pale top, a white composition with wooden wall units, an orderly cooking zone. The dining table with its light chairs carries the conviviality onward beneath a woven straw lamp, and a pale floor keeps the scene luminous. Porcelain stoneware cladding assures practical counters, the sink is integrated, the appliances complete. This is the contemporary classic of houses that love decoration without being overwhelmed by it: a single scenographic gesture — the wall — and everything else in balance. The wooden structure carries the build quality that makes daily life serene. It is the measure of Michelessi indoor kitchens: made to measure in centimetres and in taste, with craftsmanship that knows when to decorate — and when to let a room breathe.
