The Permanent Observatory of ADI Design has selected Riciclantica Outline, designed by Gabriele Centazzo for Valcucine, for publication in the ADI Design Index 2023. This is a prestigious annual selection of Italian design products and services, curated by the Association for Industrial Design (ADI) in Italy.

This initiative aims to showcase the best of Italian design, both in terms of products and services, providing recognition to the industry’s excellence. The best design projects selected in the ADI Design Index 2023 and ADI Design Index 2024 will compete for the prestigious Compasso d’Oro 2024 award.

The design philosophy of Riciclantica Outline combines the compositional lightness of Riciclantica with its special functional blocks, which can be combined thanks to suspended elements available in various types. These versatile solutions can be configured according to needs, playing with functions, forms, and materials.
Defining the different modules is the metallic profile running along the edges of the surfaces, the stylistic hallmark of Riciclantica Outline. Offered in a black anodized aluminum finish, it enhances the design concept, outlining geometries in space.

The Oasi project designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti for Aran Cucine enters in the selection of the ADI Design Index 2023. Edited by the Association for Industrial Design (ADI) in Italy, the volume brings together the essentiality of Italian design through a careful selection of products and projects that compete for the Compasso d’Oro Award, the most authoritative global design competition since 1954.

The presence in the ADI Design Index yearbooks, in addition to recognition for the excellence of the sector, represents a stage of the Compasso d’Oro Award which Aran Cucine approaches with Oasi, the experimental kitchen module characterized by the presence of a tree at the center of the island and wall-mounted composition  to exploit the verticality of the environment.

Following the principle of circularity, it is possible to rotate around the free-standing cell to appreciate what for Aran Cucine becomes the emblem of the so-called slow life: all the phases of food processing – from conservation to preparation, up to consumption and its recycling – and daily activities are facilitated by this new domestic architecture.
