Minimalism in Motion: The HC.08 Design Philosophy

The HC.08 Minimal Kitchen transforms the kitchen into a continuous, fluid environment. It redefines space by merging cabinetry, furniture, and architecture into a unified language of design. Through this system, everyday functionality is concealed behind minimalist surfaces—revealing only what you need, when you need it.

Dark Elegance & Tactile Warmth

• The base units are clad in Nero laminate, grounded by a matching HPL Fenix Nero Ingo worktop—a velvety matte surface with anti-fingerprint properties and superior durability.
• In contrast, the wall units and tall columns feature a thermostructured Intaglio Noce laminate with a “cannettato” (reeded) texture, offering a warm, natural depth to balance the sleekness of the black.

This harmony between tone and texture makes the kitchen feel architecturally rooted yet soft to the touch.

Fold-Away Innovation: Sliding Snack Counters

A signature feature is the folding 45° snack counter:

• Constructed in matching Noce “cannettato” finish
• Integrated with solid aluminum rails
• Opens diagonally or linearly, with smooth gliding
• Equipped with safety stop mechanisms for secure use

These operating counters increase workspace and seating only when needed, then retract completely for a clean, unobstructed layout.

Architectural Flow: Retractable Columns

Gone are the visual interruptions of appliances. Tall pantry columns feature retractable doors that:

• Slide back into the side compartments
• Fully reveal ovens, wine cellars, or microwaves
• Eliminate obstructions during use
• Disappear seamlessly to preserve minimal aesthetics

This design ensures a clear work zone and a visually quiet wall, essential for open-plan environments.

Modular Intelligence: Hidden Pantry Systems

In the niche beneath the wall units, you’ll find modular open pantries constructed from:

• Thin coextruded burnished aluminum
• Highly customizable shelving & accessory arrangements
• Minimal visual weight, yet high functional capacity

These pantries are made for quick-access storage, supporting cooking flow without interfering with the overall clean look.

Living Integration: A Unified Architectural Language

The Filogiorno Nero laminate shelves—delicate and integrated—extend into the living area paneling. Combined with the Chiara table’s telescopic metal base and Mani chairs with black metal shell, they create a continuous visual dialogue from kitchen to lounge.

No elements are incidental—each serves a purpose in composition, form, and rhythm.

🌐 Engineered for Silence, Built for Movement

The HC.08 Minimal Kitchen is not just a functional area—it’s a living architectural statement. By combining:

• Fenix Nero’s advanced surface science
• Warm vertical textures of “cannettato” Noce
• Sliding counters and hidden compartments
• And modular aluminum storage systems

…it offers a kitchen designed for people who want to live in flexible, minimalist, and emotionally resonant spaces.
