ERGONOMICS
Working in the kitchen can be very tiring, notwithstanding the help given by many accessories and by electrical appliances. Good space organization can reduce obstacles and unnatural and useless movements. Arranging various kitchen areas by respecting distances and organizing logical routes is the starting point to make work in the kitchen creative and fun.
A simple rule is to connect the preserving area (larders, refrigerator), the washing area (sink, dishwasher) and the cooking area (hob), by means of small triangles. The sum of the three sides that connect them should not exceed 650cm. In an ideal kitchen arrangement, the three areas should be divided by worktops.
SUSTAINABILITY
Valcucine’s sustainable kitchens are made using less raw materials and energy, which are easy to take apart and recycle at the end of their life-cycle and that produce the least possible toxic emissions, are born. Sustainable kitchens feature a long technical and aesthetic life.
SUSTAINABLE KITCHEN CABINETS DESIGN PRINCIPLES
DEMATERIALIZATION
Dematerialization is defined as the reduction of the quantities of materials needed to serve an economic function or the decline over time in the mass of materials used in industrial end products. This process requires fewer raw materials and less energy.Riciclantica stands for “lightness and resilience”: the lightest dematerialized door in the world fits into an aluminum structure that is water-, steam- and heat-resistant. All Valcucine kitchens are sustainable yet innovative, designed for those who pay a great deal of attention to their well-being and live in harmony with nature.
RECYCLABILITY
In nature, substances circulate and are transformed. Ultimately, they are all reabsorbed and reused. That’s why Valcucine designs the kitchen’s carcasses and structures using parts that can be easily dismantled and separated at the end of their lifecycle.For instance, the aluminum for Artematica and Riciclantica kitchen door frames is a material that can be 100% recycled and endlessly reused to make new products that preserve the qualities of this metal, over and over again.
REUSABILITY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Valcucine respects the main rules of eco-sustainable design – dematerialization, recyclability, reduction of toxic emissions and durability, without creating any waste at the end of its life cycle.Lengthy research into materials and their limits of resistance has allowed revolutionizing the kitchen industry by producing the Invitrum base unit system the first sustainable kitchen base unit in 100% recyclable or reusable glass.
ENVIRONMENTALLY-CONSCIOUS MATERIALS
Valcucine pays a lot of attention to selecting raw materials that respect the strictest standards, such as FSC® certification, which ensures that all its wood comes from forests managed properly and responsibly. The company looks for new solutions to uphold increasingly more sustainable choices and privileges suppliers who adopt the EPD product environmental declaration.IN HARMONY WITH THE ENVIRONMENT
Improving the well-being of humanity means respecting the richness of the environment and the uniqueness of our planet. A basic rule underlying all Valcucine’s design is the reduction of materials and causing as little impact on the environment as possible. This is guaranteed by the ISO14001 and FSC certifications and by compliance with LEED requirements. In 1998, Valcucine and a small group of businessmen founded the Bioforest, a non-profit association to foster a more aware and responsible production culture able to actively restore and protect natural resources.
