Cooking Italian style

Aesthetic appreciation and culinary efficiency can go hand in hand. A kitchen design specialist that seamlessly merges artistic form and high-end utility can ensure your kitchen is a pleasure to look at as well as to work in.

Copat Kitchens is a respected kitchen design and manufacturing company that blends a keen aesthetic sense with the design strengths of an Italian-made kitchen. The kitchens are made from Italian materials and manufactured in Italy, and the company has a strong and growingpresence here in the United States. Together with European design comes European quality, and Copat Kitchens' designs all meet UNI EN ISO 9001 quality system certification and UNI EN ISO 14001 ecological management certification standards.

Copat Kitchens creates both classic and contemporary kitchens. While this long-running family business has focused on traditional designs in the past, modern kitchens have become a central part of its project catalog. These combine materials in interesting ways, emphasizing clean lines and a geometric balance between cabinetry, appliances and islands.

The kitchens shown here demonstrate this sense of abstract design in its purest form. Their durable construction and practical high-tech mechanisms reinforce this high standard of aesthetics.

Frames are constructed with water-repellent wood fiber panels with low formaldehyde content, and are a sturdy ¾ inch thick. A rubber strip applied to the leading edge of containers dampens the sounds of the doors closing and ensures a perfect seal against dust and odors.

The company's wall cabinets are fitted with three-way adjustable hardware and an under-cabinet utensil rail, ensuring a recipe holder or spice rack is speedily to hand.

Copat's cabinetry doors are fitted with metal three-way adjustable Salice hinges, which open a generous 110º for easy access. These hinges are tested under stringent European regulations for 200,000 opening and closing cycles and are testament to the standards of Copat's kitchens.

Cabinetry drawers glide silently on full extraction steel guides, while drawer bottoms are in wood fiber panels covered in Class E1 gray melamine. The sides are in Blum Tandem-box style with guides fitted with a Blumotion braking system that makes the drawers a pleasure to use.

These are just some of the features used by Copat Kitchens to ensure its kitchens' functionality matches their good looks.
