kitchens

Created in 1994 by Luca Meda, concentrates the main functions of washing and cooking into a self-supporting structure, patented by Dada. The new Banco redefines contrasts in materials and is offered mainly in black and white.
A solid extruded aluminium frame supports the thin line of the worktop that defines the horizontal side of the cabinets. The structure remains suspended in mid-air, and is completed by floor standing base units. The island structure supports the under-Banco base units. The worktop has a minimal thickness and sets into the aluminium structure, hiding its solid interior.

“Banco means counter. The idea of a counter is like that of a rover, a man who wanders north, south east and west, slowly building an appetite and that’s why the counter ended up in the kitchen. And in a flash, transformed it.”

Design

Luca Meda

Luca Meda wrote an important chapter in Italian enterprise history. He contributed to the design culture of the Molteni Group with great passion and dedication. He was an example of a perfect symbiosis between creativity, business, art and industry. This is something of a paradox for a designer who loves drawing and uses a pencil more than any other tool to describe and reinvent reality. Since the late 70's Luca Meda was dedicated to the design of ranges. He created furniture which became icons. With Aldo Rossi he created the Piroscafo bookshelf, the Zim chairs and the Ho armchair, the Vivette armchair, the Primafila sofa, the 505 programme and the Pass system.
