It’s why we decided to leave him completely free and say ‘Okay, this is the technology – you do what you would like to do.’” “And what excites me about the philosophy of Henry Timi is his ability to have a total correlation between thought and project, between the idea and the realisation. “We’ve known each other for a long time and he’s always in search of appliances that ‘disappear’,” says Massobrio. First unveiled in the designer’s Rome gallery, and recently showcased at Salone in Milan, the collaboration is not Frigo2000’s first with Timi. Quietly recessed into the latter, you’ll find an oven by V-ZUG as well as two fridges at your service. ![]() The kitchen in question consists of two pieces: a monolithic island bench and a vertical stack of three cubes seemingly floating on top of each other.
