the formal essentiality is born from the desire to furnish reduced home spaces with style, proposing a functional yet limited in volumes kitchen project. sanwa company, thanks to its experience gained in the study and development of new solutions that combine contemporary design and high technology, introduces at eurocucina 2018 a line of extremely compact kitchens, capable to create wonder even in a small living space.

three projects are destined to make the news: AM 01 designed by alessandro mendini, EO 01 by elisa ossino and BA 01 by bestetti associati. ‘pattina’ and ‘grad 45’ will also be at eurocucina in a ‘compact’ version. finally, two interesting new projects: AC 01 — adjustable compact kitchen that turns into a desk and SC-01, where steel is the protagonist. the AC 01 project — winner of the sanwa company design competition — was selected by mendini, the president of the jury — to be produced.

the design research, therefore, continues in the sign of formal minimalism — the distinctive element that characterized sanwacompany since its first debut at eurocucina in 2016, with the ‘modern in style, japanese in spirit’ claim, proposed also at milan design week 2017 in a ‘japanese modern vintage’ collection.
