| | | The Sinthesys kitchen has even been designed to become a real living room thanks to various elements that disappear or are transformed. Household appliances such as the oven and the refrigerator can be concealed inside a cupboard unit with glass pullout sliding doors that can | | be personalised using various drawings created in the Valcu-cine laboratory (or reproduced from a customer's drawing). The hob can be covered by a wooden swivel top that becomes a shelf; the tap can disappear in a purposely created space behind the wall units; the sink can hide below a pa- | | nel in Cristalan, a compound material that is also used to construct wall-hung base units and tops. Cristalan is hygienic because it is non-absorbent and non-porous, ecological and non-toxic. Thanks to this new material it is possible to perfectly integra- | | te the worktop with the sink and, thanks to the almost invisible joints, the top becomes a continuous surface that is available in an unlimited size. | | |
