STRATO UNVEILS AWARD-WINNING HAUTE COUTURE KITCHEN COLLECTIONS
ON HONG KONG STOPOVER OF GLOBAL TOUR
Haute-couture Italian kitchen designer STRATO launched its award-winning luxury kitchen collections in Hong Kong on July 5. Hong Kong is chosen as the first stop of a STRATO Global Tour Exhibition and headlined by its new ‘Semplice’ (meaning ‘Simplicity’) design which won a Best of Milan Design Week Award 2012. The Founders of STRATO, Marco Gorini and Gianna Farina, attended the exhibition opening at Strato Showroom located at Wong Chuk Hang and had an informative exchange with the HKIDA members and design students on this very special occasion. Marco shared how the award-winning “Semplice” collection demonstrates the absolute mastery of “one block” design, flowing seamlessly between one material and another and how it intertwined with artistic expression. Guest Speakers Anna Cheng and Dr. Chan L. K. also shared their amazing works in that marvelous evening. The ultimate kitchens “for those who run away from the ordinary” would be showcased in a dedicated exhibition at STRATO Showroom running for three months, and each masterpiece is worth HK$4million and above.
