The Atelier kitchen by Abimis has been installed in an exclusive home in Milan. The kitchen occupies the upper floor of the house, characterized by a large living space divided into two distinct areas: one intended for ‘social activities’, such as receiving guests and organizing dinners, parties or events, and the other, more intimate and intimate, dedicated to the family. Atelier presents itself here as an element of union between the two environments. The great peculiarity of the concept is represented by the fact that the entire kitchen environment is made of stainless steel, including the walls, floor and ceiling, painted in an intense shade of red and interrupted by LED light lines. This design choice was intended to ensure maximum hygiene, suggesting a formal and conceptual reference to the kitchens of large hospitality structures.

The Abimis kitchen, built entirely in AISI 304 stainless steel, with a clean and tidy aesthetic, is totally custom. It is an ergonomic, functional and high-performance solution, structured to meet the needs of the most demanding chef.

The kitchen is configured in two distinct areas: an operational one, characterized by a satin finish which makes the surface opaque and slightly reflective, and a service one that ‘communicates’ with the first thanks to a practical serving hatch that extends to the living area. The operational part, in addition to including the washing area and the work space, is equipped with the most advanced professional technologies for cooking, preparing, preserving and refrigerating food, thanks also to Sub Zero & Wolf appliances by Frigo2000.

In Tamins, Switzerland, Abimis creates a first version of the Ego90 kitchen for a private residence. Ego90 is a combination of ‘soft’ and comfortable shapes and a square, clean and well-defined design, a new proposal that expresses the ideal fusion between a kitchen with a domestic soul and one with a more professional layout. Compared to the distinctive flush-fitting radiused doors integrated into the structure, Ego90 is characterized by right-angled doors, preserving the other features of the iconic line.

Studied and defined in every detail together with the property, Ego90 is presented here in a refined island version – made to measure as always and entirely in AISI 304 stainless steel – with truly important proportions. The layout was thus designed to transform the kitchen into the fulcrum of the domestic space and encourage movement, accessibility and moments of conviviality: Ego90 occupies, in fact, a central position within the large environment that hosts it, an open and welcoming which also includes the dining area.

The strong predominance of white gives a clean and bright image of the room, while the light wood with Scandinavian references of many of the furnishings and accessories gives it warmth and elegance. In this context, the steel – with a hand-orbited finish – of Ego90 creates a fascinating contrast with the rest of the surfaces, accentuating the contemporary character of the entire kitchen project.

Made entirely of steel, ÀTRIA is an outdoors kitchen by Abimis. Characterized by harmonious proportions, clean lines, compact shape, customization possibilities, in terms of configuration and colour, and an ‘open’ design, it is ideal for any external context. A special version of this model has been choice for a project in Italy at Garage Nardini, historic restaurant of Bassano del Grappa.

Here ÀTRIA is proposed in an elegant stainless steel monobloc, available in a bright green finish to dress the door handles and the base/structure which can act as a practical support surface or as an original visible compartment. The module consists of a sink integrated into the structure, a central work surface, an induction hob, a back panel equipped with a shelf and bottle holder, and large storage compartments.

Thanks to its characteristics, ÀTRIA has therefore proven to be the ideal outdoor kitchen to ensure a professional service – during which the preparation of food is transformed into a moment between show cooking and dinner – and to transmit the same sensations of warmth, conviviality and sharing of a domestic kitchen.

ÀTRIA is an Abimis kitchen created together with Studio Delineo and Massimo Rosati. It features a versatile, dynamic and contemporary architecture and is made entirely of stainless steel. The model is also 100% customizable, even in terms of colour.

In its compact and well-organized configuration, ÀTRIA integrates harmoniously and proportionately into the natural landscape that surrounds it, ensuring perfect functionality and easy operation. The module consists of a sink integrated into the structure, an induction hob, a back panel equipped with a shelf and a sort of band to contain the most delicate foods, and storage compartments.

Moreover, ÀTRIA is a concept with a green soul, created to fit into nature, respecting it, and ensuring people’s well-being. It is, in fact, made entirely of stainless steel AISI 304 (or 316 when installed in a maritime context or with a swimming pool), an antibacterial and biologically neutral material that does not release any substance on food.

It resists corrosion, shocks, humidity and high temperatures, is durable, 100% recyclable – thus limiting the waste of resources – and easy to clean, requiring very little detergent. Compared to other materials, steel requires less energy and heat to be produced, thus reducing the production of CO2 and the environmental impact. If declined in one of the colors on the RAL scale, Abimis only uses organic paints.

The Abimis showroom in Milan has been renewed in occasion of the latest edition of Fuorisalone, during which the company presented an original set-up featuring the Ego, Atelier and ÀTRIA lines in all their different configurations, together with a system of hand-orbitally polished steel columns, suggesting the possibility for completing Abimis kitchens.

The Ego kitchen, with its typical rounded doors, is now presented in an elegant island version, with a special polished mirror finish, which makes the AISI 304 stainless steel extraordinarily bright and shiny. The mirror finish creates plays on light, reflections and suggestions that transform Ego into a really spectacular element.

Atelier, with its essential, rigorous and formal design, is available in a wall mounted version with a compact structure, in the new and sophisticated burnished finish, a special colour that changes shade according to how the light falls on it, giving a refined and contemporary aesthetic effect to the kitchen and revealing a special expression of texture.

Finally ÀTRIA (design Studio Delineo and Massimo Rosati), the first Abimis kitchen specifically designed for outdoor living and 100% customisable, is available in a wall mounted version that highlights the distinctive features of the concept: a steel kitchen with clean lines and harmonious proportions, defined by plays on volume and original alternations of full and empty.

The Ego, Atelier and ÀTRIA kitchens can be painted in any RAL shade, glossy or matt, using the same techniques used in the automotive sector, so as to be able to achieve the exact colour desired by the customer.

An ultra-modern house, developed on two levels with large terraces overlooking one of the most coveted residential districts of Berlin, welcomes an unprecedented configuration of the Ego kitchen by Abimis. The rooms, made exceptionally bright thanks to the large windows and skylights, are highlighted by a widespread black & white look, hence the choice of the owners to create a kitchen that is perfectly ‘in theme’ with the rest of the house.

Made to the centimeter by Abimis, Ego presents itself as a solution with a strong professional imprint, starting from its configuration which includes the cooking and preparation area ‘in sight’ and then all the other functions. Induction hobs, gas hobs, fry tops, food warmers, maximum efficiency hoods, ovens, refrigerators, storage columns, push-pull compartments, container drawers and concealed electrical sockets are the elements that contribute to defining the professional set-up.

The kitchen, entirely in AISI 304 stainless steel, available in an elegant matt black finish for the cooking and washing block, follows the complex geometry of the room. The choice to install a kitchen of the Ego line is due, in fact, to the need to increase the ergonomics of the space and rationalize it, facilitating the movements of those who have to live there. In particular, this version – highly performing – of Ego is defined by: a peninsula of large proportions, a washing area, a series of storage columns, which primarily house ovens and refrigerators, and a second block for washing, complete with professional dishwashers.

An Abimis kitchen was chosen for a 200 square meters terrace of a ‘farm’ 2.0 in a private house in Toronto. The space was conceived as a real open-air ‘floor’ to be experienced, equipped with glass protection to shelter from the wind and a bioclimatic veranda. It is equipped with kitchen, living area, dining room and maxi outdoor TV.

The owners, together with the designer, chose a kitchen from the Atelier line, custom-built by Abimis to satisfy the various practical and aesthetic needs and, above all, respecting the architectural language of the context. Made entirely of AISI 316 stainless steel – an ideal alloy for outdoor cooking, as it makes the kitchen resistant to temperature variations, bad weather or environmental corrosion damage, it is biologically neutral, therefore antibacterial, hygienic and easy to clean – in the sophisticated Scotch Brite finish.

Its configuration sees two blocks, of the same size, divided by the column that supports the roof, separating their functions: the module on the right is complete with storage compartments, refrigerators, and a worktop approximately 3 meters long, while the one on the left houses the cooking and washing area, as well as an imposing central barbecue in American style.

Among the recent project of Abimis, one was carried on in a private house in the historic town of Civita di Bagnoregio (Lazio, Italy). The refurbishe house was characterized by interiors made of stone arches, plaster and floors featuring a textured finish and sand colours that create a continuity of atmosphere with the external architecture.

For this environment an Atelier kitchen was fitted in the new burnished stainless steel finish, to match the warm hues of the setting. The living room shares the same space as the kitchen, which has been wisely arranged along a wall separated into two units placed side-by-side: on one side a cooking block with an induction hob and an oven, and on the other the washing area and top dedicated to preparing dishes.

Everything is highly functional, and the clean-cut and minimal design of the Atelier model embellishes the surroundings. The result is a combination of technology and styling plied in stainless steel.

At Ormelle, near Treviso (Italy), very close to its headquarters, Abimis opens the doors of its new ‘residence‘, an exhibition space that was born from the desire to describe the contemporary kitchen according to Abimis, the design flexibility that has always characterizes its indoor and outdoor creations.

Among them. Ego and Atelier are the first domestic kitchens entirely produced in AISI 304 or 316 steel of professional derivation. The Abimis brand was born, in fact, from the experience of Prisma, a company that for 40 years has been manufacturing professional kitchens, equipment and furnishing elements in steel. The two lines of Abimis, followed by Àtria, offer the performance and functionality typical of professional kitchens, all with a ‘heart’ in stainless steel, but characterized by different construction types that give them a unique and recognizable aesthetic.

The set-up of the showroom, conceived as an elegant and bright open space, was deisgned not only to display the characteristic style of the Ego and Atelier lines – and the brand new Àtria – but to reveal the brand’s ability to create configurations that are always different, elegant, welcoming and convivial, in an environment that recreates that sense of welcome and pleasantness typical of the domestic space.

Ego, Atelier and Àtria, in the versions chosen to furnish the new Abimis ‘home’, suggest the possibilities that the company offers to ‘design’ the kitchen around the needs and people habits, defining it in every aspect and detail, from the size to the shape, from the material to the finish, from the positioning of the worktop, cooking and washing to that of the appliances.

A structure harmoniously integrated in a suggestive landscape of hills and vineyards: this is the goal achieved by Abimis, who realized, in collaboration with the Aidlin Darling Design studio, a kitchen for the large garden of a villa located in the heart of Napa Valley (California). The project is a special outdoor version of Atelier, a kitchen of professional derivation by Abismis. The two solutions for indoor and outdoor, both curated by Abimis and Aidlin Darling Design, were conceived to create continuity between the interior and exterior of the home.

The outdoor kitchen project
The outdoor kitchen has been designed to be in line with the needs of the American culinary tradition. Made of cement, it houses a gas-fired grill and a wood-burning barbecue. Aesthetically, it presents itself with a clean architecture, with essential and rigorous lines, reflecting the typical square design of the Atelier line. The worktop separates the two cooking modes, while the lower part of the kitchen is completed by a spacious visible compartment for storing wood and AISI 304 steel compartments made by Abimis, with anthracite finish doors and large ergonomic handles.
