There’s something about the deep cerise and reflective metallic sheen of Mobilificio Florida’s “Moove 01” Foldable Kitchen that reminds me of a movie theater curtain. Since I’m frequently a late arrival, I don’t even know if that feature is still a regular component of the cinema, but back in the day the shows at the larger screens would employ the device to drape the entire proceedings in an aura of mystery: once the heavy pleated fabric were withdrawn, the magic of illuminated celluloid would commence and said mystery would unveil.

The Moove Foldable Kitchen hides a comparable array of enticing enchantments behind its Prugna Lacquered Finish. In the closed position, Moove appears to be but a bank of beautiful cabinets, but at the slightest touch the cabinetry parts to reveal an entire cooking ensemble—sink, backsplash, prep space, and cooktop.

A Compact Kitchen in Stainless Steel

The “now-you-see-it, now-you-don’t” (or “now-you-don’t-see-it, now-you-do”) aspect of Moove is certainly worth the price of admission, but this is no mere cinematic gimmick but rather a well-thought approach to maximizing vaunted kitchen space. The concept seizes on the widely-held notion that the kitchen is the heart of the house by imparting a more open and spacious feel to smaller homes. And the Moove components themselves are dedicated to maximizing storage and minimizing clutter: Moove 1 features voluminous sliding storage down below and an equally roomy lift-style cabinet up top.

If you prefer a freestanding approach, Moove 2 is equally compact, similarly alluring, and every bit as functional as its wall-mounted brethren. This unit in glossy white stays where it is, while the cooktop and counter space slide out from beneath–very like an over-sized drawer. Moove 2 is also dedicated to creating illusory and actual space in the kitchen, as it imparts the attractive option of a center island with full 360 degree access that also functions as cooking central.
