Indoor kitchens we have built — page 2

The Laminam bar table stretches like a bridge from the island and gathers its stools — grey and powder pink — beneath a cluster of golden lamps: the convivial heart of a kitchen that works in a U, with pale lacquered bases, stone-toned Laminam counters and an LED strip lighting the working wall. Dark columns house the ovens; refrigerator, sink and induction hob complete the declared equipment. This is the project for those who live the kitchen as a meeting point: resilient surfaces where the work is done, comfortable seats where people stay. Laminam — thin, high-performance ceramic — allows long counters and elegant overhangs without fragility; the lacquered wooden structure gives body and precision. It is Michelessi made-to-measure for indoor kitchens: Italian craftsmanship in the assembly, considered lighting, and a bar table that ends up the most contested seat in the house.

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.

Golden maple-toned wood warms the whole room: columns, wall units and bases run luminous around the central island, which carries the hob beneath a suspended hood and closes its end with the glass-shelved bar corner — transparent, illuminated shelves where glasses await the evening. Dark, mineral-grained worktops provide the counterpoint; two steel refrigerators stand guard at the back, and stools line up at the counter. Complete in every detail, this is the kitchen of organised conviviality: cook at the centre, serve at the side, stay a while. The island's glass shelves are the detail that lightens: transparency within matter. The lacquered wood structure holds it all with precision: this is Michelessi bespoke, made in Italy, building even the corners devoted to pleasure with the same seriousness as everything else. The glass corner lights the evening: the golden wood does all the rest.

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 counter tells two materials in one: a black Laminam top, thin and technical, that integrates the sink and the induction plate, and a thick slab of solid wood laid over it like a noble butcher's block, ready for breakfast served on white stools. Around it, the black kitchen stretches its matte columns, while behind, the space continues towards a sleeping area in pale wood: a loft where functions cohabit with ease. Black bell lamps aim at the scene. This is a project that plays on contrasts of thickness and temperature: black that sharpens, solid wood that warms, light that chooses where to rest. Fully equipped, the kitchen shows the maturity of contemporary made-to-measure: the right materials in the right places. It is the Michelessi method for indoor kitchens, with Italian craftsmanship pairing Laminam and solid timber the way one pairs two strong characters: with respect, and with memorable results.

The island looks folded by giant hands: a white volume, faceted like origami, tilts its planes towards the floor and carries on its surface an integrated sink with a slender mixer. Around it, solid wood boiserie with walnut grain dresses the fitted wall — appliances built in, the refrigerator open in a gesture of daily life — while a black spiral staircase turns its sculpture at the back. A suspended lamp draws a circle of light over the island. This is the meeting of joinery and geometry: wood that reassures, white that dares. A faceted island puts every joint to the test, because tilted planes forgive nothing: they demand exact cuts and millimetre-perfect assembly. It is the field where true made-to-measure distinguishes itself — Michelessi indoor kitchens, with Italian craftsmanship that can build even the forms that look impossible, and make them work every day.

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.

Contrast is the salt of this kitchen: on the walls, classic white wooden cabinets with a chimney hood and gentle mouldings; at the centre, the modern sharp-edged Carrara marble island, a crisp volume in which grey veins descend the sides without interruption. Before it, three brown leather stools line up at the integrated counter: the fast-lunch area where breakfast is taken in comfort, cool stone beneath the hands. The dark wooden floor closes the composition with warmth. Making classic and contemporary live together is an exercise in measure: Carrara marble, worked to a sharp edge, bridges the two worlds with its timeless authority. Michelessi cuts and finishes it to measure, attending to veins and joints with the eye of the Italian artisan tradition: so that every seat at the counter becomes, in its way, a small lesson in style.

The composition is an exercise in purity: white lacquered units with push-to-open fronts, surfaces aligned without a single handle to interrupt them, under-cabinet light igniting the worktop. And then she arrives — the Carrara marble peninsula with its sharp edge: the stone descends vertically along the side, veins continuing from the top without hesitation, like a waterfall arrested mid-fall. Open niches with bottles add a touch of life to the rigour of the design. Total white is the most demanding style there is: it allows no distraction, and every detail must be exact. The sharp edge, above all, is a test of truth for those who work marble: forty-five-degree mitres, aligned veins, polish without shadows. Michelessi executes it to measure with the steady hand of the Italian workshop: because white, when it is perfect, is not a colour — it is a form of silence.

The dark wooden shelf crosses the wall carrying ceramic plates and kitchen woods, hung and leaned as in a family workshop; below, the travertine counter hosts the sink and the battery of gas burners, while in the corner the stone structure of the oven advances with its generous presence. Solid walnut doors, framed in pale masonry, punctuate the base; a woven mat softens the terracotta underfoot. This is the daily life of a well-lived masonry kitchen: everything within reach, everything solid, everything true. Here the stonework serves practicality — continuous counters, corners put to work, surfaces that bear pans and years — without renouncing the grace of the finishes. It is the way of building that Michelessi defends in its bespoke work: kitchens conceived for real cooking, where beauty is not ornament but domestic substance, resting on travertine and walnut.

Daylight crosses the paned windows and spreads over the white lacquered wood of the structure: orderly doors, glass-front wall units, the steel hood presiding over the cooking zone. At the centre, the island carries its travertine top with integrated burners, and three black stools draw up like punctual guests. The blond wooden floor warms every step. This is an indoor kitchen complete with appliances and conceived for daily life: washable surfaces, generous spaces, materials that age with dignity. Travertine, the Roman stone par excellence, gives the counter a mineral warmth that white alone could never offer: its bespoke working — cuts, edges, the recess for the burners — bears the signature of Italian craftsmanship, which Michelessi brings to every project. Lacquered wood and true stone: a simple pair that never fails. A serene choice today, a certainty tomorrow: travertine accompanies families for whole generations.

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.

This is the classic at its most luminous: white framed doors rise to the ceiling, veined marble counters spread their grey, moving light across island and perimeter, and two brass lanterns descend in strict geometry above grey velvet stools. The cooking zone deploys a professional steel range beneath a clad hood; twin refrigerators hold the far wall, pale cladding rises softly around them. Fully equipped, this is a kitchen conceived for entertaining: generous surfaces, scenographic light, materials that bear close inspection. Veined marble is the tactile protagonist: counters worked to measure, refined edges, exact cut-outs — the quality you recognise as you set the table. It is the Michelessi repertoire in stone: Italian craftsmanship in the service of a classic white style that, done like this, never goes out of fashion. The lanterns, meanwhile, do their own work: they enchant.

A crystal chandelier lights the scene above the window, and the kitchen spreads its dark dove-grey tones with the calm of elegant houses: framed doors, a matching mantel hood, decorated tile cladding drawing the wall behind the great steel range with its professional burners. A veined marble top runs along the counters to the white farmhouse sink, served by a classic mixer. Complete with range and hood, this is a kitchen that joins working substance to cultivated taste: dusty tones, decorated ceramic, veined stone cut to measure. The marble counter is the meeting point of beauty and service: it resists, welcomes, ennobles. Its refined edges and cut-outs carry the hand of Michelessi — artisan craftsmanship in stone, for indoor kitchens that know how to receive guests, and feed them properly, with eight burners' worth of arguments.

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.

The project plays the card of lightness: suspended shelves run along the walls with glass doors that let their contents show, a low white sideboard gathers daily life without weighing it down, and black frames at the back edge the open compartments. Drops of yellow — a wall unit, a chair, the details — fire the grey-cream palette with measured cheer. Induction hob and oven complete the equipment; a counter with dark stools closes the peninsula. This is a linear, elegant style that gives up nothing in personality: clean geometry as the base, colour as the accent. Suspended shelves and glass doors demand exact fixings and quality hardware: visual lightness, in joinery, is the heaviest thing to achieve. It is the paradox that Michelessi's Italian craftsmanship resolves every day in its made-to-measure indoor kitchens: making what is not easy look effortless.

White lozenge tiling rises to the ceiling as a luminous backdrop to the deep blue of the doors: the column, the bases with golden handles, and at the centre the great white farmhouse basin projecting from the cabinet, served by a black mixer. A veined travertine counter crowns the bases with its pale stone; black-framed windows hold the green, shelves keep daily life within reach. Complete with sink, shelves and every appliance, this is a kitchen that joins the character of colour to the light of tradition: blue that anchors, white that opens, stone that ennobles. The travertine, cut to measure with the basin set in to perfection, is the point of quality you touch every day. This is the Michelessi métier: Italian craftsmanship in stone and in lacquered joinery — for a blue that is not a fashion, but a family decision.

A wall of glossy black tiles reflects the green of hanging plants and the light of black-framed windows: before it, midnight blue bases with golden handles carry a polished travertine counter — pale stone lighting the scene from below — with the sink set flush and a golden tap completing the precious register. Boards, baskets, bottles: daily life enters the scenography without spoiling it. Fully equipped, this is a kitchen of nocturnal and botanical charm at once: dark surfaces, green breathing above them, stone playing the moon. The polished travertine, worked to measure with the sink cut in to perfection, is the luminous heart of the project: the Michelessi hand in stone, in the manner of artisan craftsmanship. A blue this deep needs a natural light that understands it — and here it is, carved in travertine. Green, black and gold on pale stone: a palette that asks for no updates.

The veined marble splashback is the kitchen's painting: pale stone, crossed by dense grey veining, runs behind the worktop and turns the wall into a mineral landscape. Around it, white lacquer does its work with elegance: framed doors, wall units, shelves of ceramics, and a counter — itself in marble — carrying the working zone to the bar where two black stools draw up beneath drop lamps. Fully equipped, this is a kitchen that entrusts its whole personality to the stone: the right choice, because marble never disappoints. Top and counters worked to measure, with clean edges and exact cut-outs, bear the signature of Michelessi stonework: Italian craftsmanship that selects the slab for its figure and finishes it for daily life. The white, all around, plays the frame — and the marble, as ever, the protagonist.

The scene lives on amber light: clustered hanging bulbs, a glowing strip at the island's base, reflections across the black veined marble top crowning the pale volume with its deep pattern. The island table gathers the stools; to the side, a column with the wine cellar displays its bottles upright, and the dark wall with its marble cladding closes the backdrop with loft-like elegance. Complete with appliances, this is a kitchen for long evenings: materials that absorb the light and return it warm, surfaces that invite you to stay. The veined marble top is the tactile protagonist: cut to measure, with exact edges and recesses, it bears the signature of the Michelessi workshop — craft applied to atmosphere, because a kitchen can light a home this way too: quietly, with stone glimmering just beneath the bulbs. And when the guests have gone, the stone stays there shining: ready for the next evening.
