Kitchen lighting and paneling may not be the first thing on the mind of many apartment dwellers, but one look at Valcucine’s beautiful home design products may be enough to make you want to buy. (This being a buyer’s market and all.) Beyond the sliding glass doors and stainless steel workstations, the most impressive thing about the Italian kitchen furniture manufacturer is their commitment to the environment. “Ecosustainability,” the most popular tag on the ECOVALCUCINE blog, is described by the company as “satisfying the requirements of the present generations without jeopardising those of future ones.” Their site shows off not only stunning spaces but discusses the merits of water-based paint and kitchen safety for kids.
