Valcucine Venture: Forma Mentis Modern Kitchen with Genius Loci Island

This kitchen is a PURCHASE BEFORE REMOVAL. It is able to be removed after purchase. This showroom kitchen is located in Chicago, IL.

This kitchen seamlessly combines two lines from Valcucine. Wall cabinetry is Forma Mentis featuring the signature angled edge and angled Cardoso stone top with Matt Lacquered fronts. The Aerius wall unit opens with Valcucine’s patented counterweight and is finished in White “Butterfly Wing” tactile glass in a beautiful and subtle pattern.

The Island features the Genius Loci “hidden” drawer in Cardoso stone to match the top which seamlessly transitions to a Burnished Oak table complete with matching “hidden” drawers. The island is finished on all sides in Matt Glass. Behind the unique Foster cooktop is Logica Theca, a box with lift-up door that reveals a hidden storage space for outlets, spices and chopping boards.
