Studio Bizzarri
Of long experiences in the design and inner architecture world, in 1995, a study named Bizzarri Design was born.
The main goal of Stefano Bizzarri and Claudio Cinti, the two designers that head the study located in Pesaro, is to give a new style to the project focused on industrial and interior design.
Here is their interview.
What the word “kitchen” means to you?
Nowadays, with the word kitchen, we mean both the room of a house used for the preservation of food, the preparation, the cooking and their intake, and all the furnishings and appliances that make it up.
This happens only for this room, not for the table and chairs we find in the dining room, not for the sofa and the armchair in the living room, etc.
In my opinion, this aspect shows how important and valuable the kitchen has become in this historical and social moment; understood as a set of furnishings that compose (the environment that has always been more lived and more of an aggregation of the whole family.
The kitchen environment in customs and customs has always been synonymous with home.
What are the main elements (according to you) to stand out for being a design kitchen?
The kitchen, like a table, like a lamp, like any piece of furniture to be defined as “design,” must have those elements: function, aesthetics, and innovation ( given by technological research and experimentation ); moreover, it must not have very high costs. Otherwise, we stumble into the work of art,
while the design object must maintain a democratic approach.
This suggests that there are no elements or particular elements for a kitchen to be defined as “design,” but the project as a whole is or is not.
The more it is appreciated by the market.
How was working with Composit?
At first, it was not easy, as is often the case in relationships with new productive realities.
It is necessary to acquire information and understand the business dynamics and the processes to identify the critical points and the strengths to ponder them to better develop the project.
However, after the first phase of mutual “knowledge,” it was really stimulating to collaborate as the Composit, despite being established in the domestic and foreign market for 50 years and therefore having a wealth of experience and knowledge, and also a company “able to listen,” very elastic, with which it was easy to compare and yes 6 managed to implement a research process and experimentation aimed at the optimization of the project, the definition of detail, and attention to detail.
What did you want to express with this project? What concepts are behind it?
The design of the kitchen “Pepper” while riding one of the trends of contemporary furniture-inspired industrial environments like a “Workshop” and borrowing the language for the development of some details, wants to be a timeless kitchen for warm, reassuring, and functional environments and ergonomic design system.
From here, the study of a particular processing of the door (of which we then managed to obtain the patent), made entirely of wood, including the handle, which can confer the project
uniqueness and elegance, value a demanding client always seeks, and attention to detail.
Another idea at the base of the project, designed to be able to obtain typical compositions and add new functions, was to empty the volume of the belt under the top of the operating zones for about 20 cm high, to allow to equip these spaces with practical open containers, combined with drawers or cooking systems that provide the accommodation of the controls of the burners on the front.
The development of this concept has allowed realization compositions with a height of 70 cm from the ground, where depending on the needs, can be housed washbasin freestanding or snack tops at table height for a more traditional and comfortable sitting of the diners in front of tops with higher elevation usable only with stools.
