Since ancient times,and across all civilizations,the kitchen has been the nucleus of the house,the concentration of a home's warmth and richness.Throughout the centuries,kitchens have experienced countless transformations,depending on the time in history,tradition or the socio-economic position of the owners,and have always the been the space that best defines the trends of each era,reflecting the society of the day.

Aesthetics and mobility play an increasingly important role and represent a true challenge to architects and designers,who must find contrast and harmony in a unique,multi-functional space that often presents significant limitations.
