ashion giant Fendi has made its irst
foray into kitchen design, joining forces with
Italian specialist Scic to launch a new brand,
Fendi Cucine. Its debut ofering comprises
two kitchen islands, intended for domestic or
professional use. ‘Ginger’, combining marble
and copper inishes, and ‘Kurkum’, a stainless
steel monolith (pictured), are both designed
by Italian architect Marco Costanzi, who also
worked with Fendi on its new Milan oices
and the renovation of its iconic HQ at Rome’s
Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, and has created
products for Fendi Casa. Hand-inishing
is courtesy of Parma-based Scic’s artisans.
‘Kurkum’ is characterised by its specially
treated stainless steel surfaces that combine
the material’s signature resilience with a
darker, more textured aesthetic. Countertops
feature Peltrox, with a pewter-hued satin
inish, while doors are made of durable
Titaniox. Appliances are from Grand Cuisine,
ensuring professional functionality.
The kitchen’s details nod to Fendi’s
fashion calling, from ribbon-like handles
and knobs to the house’s signature ‘Pequin’
stripes, the only expressive marks on an
otherwise essential, minimalist design. ∂
