Launched at this year's Salone in Milan, Screen is an open kitchen system designed by Rome architect Filippo Bombace for Effeti USA. Screen is a customizable stand-alone unit whose dimensions and cabinetry–including height, length, materials, and finishes-can be specified according to the homeowners' preferences.

Screen Open Kitchen Divides Space

The kitchen gets its name from its distinctive design function: Screen acts as a space divider "in a way that still maintains visual and physical connections between kitchen and dining areas." This enables the chef to interact with guests while also maintaining a private cooking and prep area.

Another unique feature of Screen is its integrated slot "formed by the negative detail below the edge," which doubles as a door-pull for cabinets and drawers. Another interesting detail is the rear of Screen, which offers a wood backdrop and a ledge for display objects. As with other Effeti USA kitchens, Screen comes in a wide variety of matte or gloss finishes (including bold colors like red and lilac), as well as wood veneers.
