Last month, SieMatic’s BeauxArts.02kitchen collection made its NewEngland debut at the company’sBack Bay showroom in Boston, just a few months after its first U.S.introduction in New York. To createthe second interpretation of the BeauxArts line, the company continued its successful partnershipwith Chicago-based designer MickDi Giulio. The redefined designincludes lighter, more linearcomponents and proportions inaddition to new finishes and modernelements, like steel- and glass-fronted cabinets.

“The BeauxArts.02 provides ourdesigners with new freedom,” saidWalter Banta, marketing managerof SieMatic Möbelwerke USA. “The new elements can be com-bined to create both transitional and contemporary kitchen designs.”

Integration with the company’s S2 designs is one of the uniquebenefits of BeauxArts.02 (alsoshown on page 19).

“A variety of finishes and styleelements come together to create a truly unique kitchen,” said Banta, who added that while whitekitchens are still very popular, new color introductions includingSterling Gray and Lotus White tie inwith contemporary palettes as well.

Looking to the future, SieMaticremains focused on design leader-ship by intergrating the kitchen with other living areas in the home. That’s the idea behind thecompany’s other recent introduction,FloatingSpaces shelving. “We have offered shelving systems inthe past, but the FloatingSpaces panel and shelving system allows architects and designers

to seamlessly blend kitchen and living spaces, creating more options than ever before.”

Available in a full range of finishes, the line includes flexiblewall configurations and functional elements available in many lengthsand materials to further integrateliving space into the kitchen.Though Banta won’t give anythingaway, he hinted that the companyplans to release more designs in this vein at the company’s annualin-house products exhibition,HausFair, in September.

This summer, the New York showroom of GD Cucine will launch Seta, theItalian company’s latest modernkitchen design. Designed with understated details and new storageoptions, the system offers a cleanbackdrop for a range of interiorstyles. Flat doors can be fitted with a variety of hardware profiles, such as a new slim, recessed pull attachedto the top or bottom of drawers and cabinets. The line also includesnew drawer hardware from Germanmanufacturer Blum, an integrated LEDlighting system for cabinet interiorsand exteriors, and new storage fittingsfor trays and cookware.

“People want a more natural finish,”said Simone Biscontin, GD Cucine’sdesign director. To meet the demand,Seta presents a range of new door finishes including a rough-hewn oak called seghettato, which can be combined with new laminate finishes that replicate stone and with smooth lacquers available in 19 colors.

Another of the company’s 2012introductions comes from a recentpartnership with their Italian neighbor,tile maker Cottoveneto. “We are collaborating with them to createkitchen door fronts covered withmicro-mosaic tiles made from stone,”said Biscontin. “It is customizable for the client. If they come in with adrawing we can replicate it.”

Outside the kitchen, GD Cucine is also bringing one of their bathroomdesigns to the United States for thefirst time. The inaugural Fontaneseries designed by Enzo Berti, and partof the Dogi collection, brings wood finishes into the bathroom. Ash andoak are used not only for cabinets andshelving but even for bath and showerenclosures thanks to a special heat-treating process that renders the woodwaterproof and stain proof. “It’s a nicetransition between a contemporaryline and the more traditional,” saidBiscontin. “We see a lot of people asking for this.” JKG
