Elmar Kitchens

Born in 1978, elmar today represents a dynamic brand with a strong personality, able to propose new identity and values, has always worked on technological solutions, space organization and design with a very italian style.

Elmar was born in 1978 in biancade (tv) and since its origins it stands out for its strength towards innovation and research. From the early 1990s the company started some collaborations with known designers to develop new and ergonomic moving systems that over time became one of the company's most identifying strengths.
Elmar's path towards increasingly contemporary lines accelerates in 2007 with the design collaboration of ludovica + roberto palomba. Exclusive furnishing solutions are born, designed to satisfy many needs; el_01, playground and slim are articulated collections in which sign and functionality coexist. The market and design meet the challenge and in 2013 slim was selected by the adi design index. In 2014 elmar calls c + s architects studio, by carlo cappai and maria alessandra segantini, to interpret a new cooking concept, that extends his convival nature beyond the deputed space. Equipped with a particular sensitivity in the use of materials and known for "translation architecture" research, which shift the attention from the architectural object to the system of relations with the context, the c + s architects studio, in collaboration with elmar, vita a @home, which will be presented at eurocucina 2014.
For elmar, cooking has always been synonymous with everyday sharing and conviviality; a real macromondo, a place of flavors, essences, taste and emotions, in which extreme versatility allows you to reinvent the space in a few gestures, transforming it into a multifunctional and dynamic area. Listening attitude and attention to relationships allow an always new reading of everyday life and a current, high-quality and technological avant-garde answer. There are three values that brand elmar products: the centrality of man, research and environmental sustainability, and have always characterized the company's uniqueness.   The constant drive for innovation and the assidual project analysis distinguish elmar from the other players in the sector. An example are the many characterizing elements, true and own icons of the company. Sliding table, easy table, wing table, monoblock 0_10 are simple and functional projects, integrated to every collection, able to offer a concrete and innovative space optimization proposal. Sliding table immediately translated into a great success: the fruit of an international technical patent, it becomes a real landmark in the history of the company. The iso 9001 process certification (since 2001) and catas certifications on doors, materials and characterizing elements underlink elmar's attention to the quality and durability of the product.
Elmar has always been sensitive to the theme of the environment; from the production place to the leds of the finished product, the fil rouge of environmental sustainability determines the rules of production. In the production and design strategy, the choice of raw materials and suppliers, the production, recycling and transport phases are developed in full respect of eco-sustainable values. The furniture structure is made with idroleb ecological panel that guarantees the lowest formaldehyde emission and the lighting systems provide for the use of leds that allow a strong reduction of consumption. Most of the materials used for the kitchen systems are 100% recyclable and 70% of the materials purchased come from suppliers which are located at a maximum distance of 100 km from the company. In the production cycle elmar has a photovoltaic system that makes it self-sufficient for 60% of the energy used. The company has always applied a careful procedure for the collection and disposal of manufacturing waste and optimizes the volumes of furniture and accessories during transport.   Become more and more the ideal partner in the worldwide, residential and office real estate business. This is the objective in the name of which the company has implemented a contract division over the years, forming resources adequate to the peculiar needs of this area: speed of interaction, project support, customization and organization skills, organization logistics and installation are elmar contract team's strong points.
