18 junio, 2015
At the Milano Design Week 2015, Del Tongo gained the occasion to introduce most of its work on research and development.
That make the brand totally committed all the last year long, showing several new products. Starting from the new kitchen Gibilterra with its peculiar patented handle, new solution for closets, to several innovations about components and projects solutions, always created with the aim to combine functionality, performance, versatility and design together.
The incoming Del Tongo new products for this 2015 The big new of 2015 is the Gìbilterra Collection. This kitchen model is created by Del Tongo Research and Development Department in collaboration with the Architect Egidio Panzera – it is an exclusive patent of Del Tongo. Its peculiarity is the bended door on the border of the handle that avoid protrusions. This kind of handle is easy to use and keeps the kitchen aesthetical clean, it mixes together the groove’s linearity with the handle’s functionality. The handle finishing is made on aluminium, with details by die casting technique, it is available in 5 different colours.
Two more news about composition are the wall unit system, called Loft System, and the new free-to-place small bins, Mix&Match, showed in combination with a Creta kitchen. The Loft System is an original wall unit system that, measuring the same depth of bases, increases the volume capacity without upsetting the design. With an optional sliding staircase, it could be used to add extra wall units or to replace those standard with other project solutions, leaving free the vertical space, as the presentation we showed. Mix&Match is the small bins system by Del Tongo that could be placed freely, thanks to their flexible structure, easy to change over to position within the kitchen: they could be fixed on the wall units, on the wall or wherever you want. Also the Mix&Match is available in five different colours.
The news carry on. In the Push/Pull Milano kitchen model, Del Tongo introduced the Fridge Servo Drive and the Dishwasher Servo Drive that open the appliances even when user have hands busy. They are electronic motorised systems that allow the door opening just with a light touch. Working without handle or groove, they keep unchanged the linearity of the kitchen. Always for the Milano model, Del Tongo introduced the integrated tank of the kitchen sink made on Fenix NTM, as the material of the top. So, top and tank becomes an unique component, it is a functional choice with great aesthetical result. Del Tongo showed the tank with measures of 70x30cm, but are available also the sizes of 34×40, 40×40 and 50×40 cm.
Other big news is the closets system called Super Sliding and Super Convertible. They are customised inch by inch in length, so we call them “super” and they are customised as the well-known Superpensile. They could be made on various finishing for the structures and could have several accessories inside. The Super Sliding closet has overlapping sliding doors and it is available with motorized radio-control or without it. Its width is variable and the motorised version is handle-less. The internal space of the Super Sliding cabinet measures the same size for both compartments.
On the other hand, the Super Convertible has turning inward doors, available with one or two doors, handle-less opening too. Both the two cabinet system value the beauty of the kitchen including functional properties.
