Angelina Kitchen

The traditional kitchen is the most welcoming. Large and spacious, where adding a seat at the table is never a problem. Where the noise of the pots, the rise of the lids to check the cooking and the aromas that spread in the air anticipate the pleasure of a good meal.

Here, between the mountains and the lake, where Angelina was created, the pleasure of good food has never been lost. The seasonal ingredients, such as the char that loves cold waters or the saffron grown at high altitude, are mixed with unusual combinations and new suggestions from all over the world. New chefs and new gestures enter the kitchen, but the passion for good food continues to be the epicenter of a new way of living according to Promemoria.

Angelina cancels the concept of "open kitchen" to turn it into a "kitchen vision". The Angelina Kitchen abolishes the idea of "kitchenette" but also the restrictive idea of "eat-in kitchen" in which to cram furniture and cabinets, peninsulas, anonymous wall units and appliances. The kitchen expands, leaves the technical schemes, to embrace the daily life of every family that chooses it. Each Angelina Kitchen is a unique piece, designed ad hoc on the experience of the customer, who chooses every personalization.

Technology, the second beating heart of Angelina, puts itself at the service of function, and instead of making a good show of itself, it is camouflaged in the design of the kitchen, almost whispered, patinated, silent, to avoid looking away from what is important: to savor and to share the good and beautiful of life.

Every single element of Angelina has been studied to make the kitchen a multisensory experience. The pantry hosts international and regional delicacies, all to be savored with the familiarity of a bon vivant. The containers are perfect for housing avant-garde and retro dishes and glasses, while drawers and shelves are spaces designed to contain hemp or linen tablecloths while allowing the entrance to an irresistible rainbow of paper napkins.

There is a bookcase for historical, modern or experimental texts in the Angelina Kitchen. There is the air-conditioned cellar for wine and champagne and in a gourmand perspective there is also the re-edited closet reserved for the proper preservation of hams, salami and cheese, as well as the maturation of hares, pheasants or wild boar. And then there is the table. A meeting point. An agora to share, to regain balance and experience the varied flavors of the polychrome and multi-sensory perimeter of the Angelina Kitchen.

Angelina is the name of Romeo Sozzi's mother. He wanted to pay her homage by dedicating her this kitchen, which combines the most concrete aspects of culinary art together with the most visionary ones. Angelina Kitchen was created in 1995, when it was presented for the first time to the public. Since then, Angelina has grown, changed and enriched itself with new materials and solutions. It has been updated, to keep up with the needs of modern life.

What remains unchanged and still vivid in every detail of this kitchen is the love that Angelina reserved for the kitchen. In her time everything was object of much care and the work that she devoted to cooking was full of commitment. In everything there was a ritual aspect that Romeo tried to recall. Because the kitchen is archetypal, it mixes memories and nostalgia, childhood and mouthwatering, noises and smells.

"I wanted Angelina to be large, capable of a generous conviviality, I wanted it important, because you should stay in the kitchen like in the living room. I wanted it to have precious finishes and materials because, as everyone knows, I like things beautiful and well done. From the taps to the handles, from the grid that serves as a plinth to the design of a sink, from the pantry for the wines to that for the dishes: everything requires attention.

The kitchen combines geometry and poetry. The path from the washing area to the cooking area, the accessibility of the cabinets, the smoothness of the drawers, the functioning of the hood: they are all ingredients of a recipe that, even if old, always wants to be revisited".

The historical Angelina kitchen has been renewed for The Sahel Desert Essence collection. Its winning original arrangement which has always made it fashionably welcoming remains and has been embedded with many gems. The most visible change is in colors: on the oven side, the display cabinets and the central modules come in two different shades of dark red burgundy; as for the side display cabinets and the central moduls on the fridge side, we opted for two hues of dark green lake. Such colors can be blended and combined with natural or even dark wood. The interior preserves the structure in light tulipier wood, with backlightened back panels.

The modules are characterized by a vibrant finishing made of gold-stained brushed antique oak, which pays homage to the shimmering Sahel dunes illuminated by the sun, while the interior is in tulipier essence.
