Design and Function

Elektra is a modern kitchen organized for the highest degree of efficiency, providing ease and manageability for the serious cook.
The layout is broken down into a set of five stacked horizontal layers, each serving a distinct function while all fitting attractively into the overall design scheme.

Five-layer Structure

First Layer: Provides room for the bulkiest utensils and equipment.
Second Layer: Directly beneath the worktop, stores smaller utensils and leaves room for plumbing around the sinks.
Third Layer: Is the worktop, which is highly customizable in both function and finish.
Fourth Layer: This first layer of the cabinet zone features a flap opening for convenient storage of items in everyday use.
Fifth Layer: The second layer of the cabinet zone comprises a roomy pantry that is easily accessible.

Design Features

A range of materials including traditional stainless steel and lacquer, luxury marble and Corian® can be combined in tailor-made designs, contours, shapes and thicknesses, punctuating Elektra’s streamlined appeal.
The subdivided cabinet layers feature two doors. Both have flap openings for easy accessibility, and are separated by an aluminum groove.
Cupboard interiors contain an illuminating back panel and plate glass shelves.
An innovative audio system creates an “invisible sound,” with hi-fi sound emitted through the large surfaces of the wall panels and/or worktops.
Arosio’s “Tornasole” revolving cupboard has seven compartments: two for bottles, one for glasses, and four shelves.
