    Features

    OLA, an iconic contemporary kitchen launched by Snaidero in 1990, has been re-styled by Pininfarina Design. The OLA20 preserves the original curved characteristics of the iconic OLA design, while giving it a fresh new look; taking the best of the past, adapting it to the needs of the present, while looking at the future. OLA20 pushes the bar in terms of technological innovation by applying automotive engineering to the kitchen. The new mica-based lacquer contains powdered mica flecks, resulting in an iridescent metallic finish.

    The island and peninsula, which sits on an iconic Pininfarina curvilinear sculpted base, is the result of careful studies of form, function and ergonomics to achieve a design solution that improves the quality of work in the kitchen

    In OLA20, the integrated handle is designed as an aluminum channel that runs through the entire length of the door, providing aesthetic finesse and an ergonomic grip

    All side cabinets with soft curved edges

    The integrated hood’s curved shape allows for a wider ventilation area

    Low energy-consumption LED lighting solutions inside the wall units and cupboards offer both convenience and an attractive color aesthetic

    Additional Features

    All drawers full extension

    Melamine wrapped MDF carcasses; scratch resistant; easy to clean

    Soft close doors and drawers

    Green/FSC (Forest Stewardship Council); use raw materials certified by the FSC

    Variety of accessories available to maximize the cooking experience and meet storage needs

    PAOLO PININFARINA

    PAOLO PININFARINA

    With a company history that dates back to 1930, Pininfarina has always drawn inspiration from the values of creativity and innovation, without forgetting the strength of tradition. It has always managed to wonderfully combine the most futuristic and avant-garde stylistic forms with the most ingenious technical solutions aimed at improving functionality. A heritage of values and manufacturing sensitivity that immediately found harmony and communion with those of Snaidero, its exclusive partner for kitchen design since 1990.

    The almost twenty years of close and fruitful collaboration between the two great companies has led to several projects that have left their mark on the history of domestic design, both at a national and international level, with unforgettable kitchens such as: “Ola”, “Viva”, “Idea”, “Acropolis”, “Venus” and “Ola 20”. Pininfarina’s approach to domestic design is truly distinctive. It tends to take a broad approach that aims to communicate a profound sense of innovation, in terms of both the formal and functional aspects of the kitchen. A design approach that does not follow fashion, but instead anticipates it. An approach with formal implications that are both complex and at the same time essential, with no frills and always up-to-date with the most modern technologies available.

    “Ola”, the first result of the collaboration with Paolo Pininfarina (Turin 1958), was created in 1990 with the objective – proposed by Snaidero – of resolving all the latest requirements of domestic functionality with maximum efficiency. In doing so it was to make use of the most technologically and ergonomically innovative, functional and avant-garde solutions available. The design, with a strikingly direct and distinctive architectural impact, gave rise to a highly three-dimensional and essential kitchen. It is characterised by such an innovative and rational – and yet communicative – design that it strikes one as an instant classic.

    “Ola” was in fact immediately “understood” and profusely rewarded by both the public and the critics. The international market success was in fact soon joined by other equally satisfying rewards. Such as receiving the Good Design Award, assigned to “Ola” by the Chicago Design Athenaeum Museum in 1996, and the American Building Products Award given by Home Magazine USA in 1997.

    “Viva”, the second result of the collaboration between the two great brands, was released in 1990. It represented the result of an in-depth study into domestic ergonomics. It focused in particular on the role of the curve, which in the kitchen environment must be both attractive and safe for daily domestic use. In “Viva” the soft form of the curve in fact no longer follows a transversal movement. Instead it finds its full expressive power as a dynamic movement from top to bottom.

    The main ergonomic feature of “Viva” is its complete lack of corners. This is achieved thanks to its peculiar rounded shape, as demonstrated by the curved shape of the wall units, as well as the front edge of the work surface. This in turn is rendered ergonomic by a characteristic anti-spill edge. The curved doors of the base units and wall units are made from specially moulded high-density Baydur. This special polyurethane-based material has just the right properties to allow for the gentle shapes that form the stylistic signature of this prestigious model. A kitchen that is truly “alive” and, by its natural vocation, able to look to the future. In other words a true interior design product, able to provide high levels of customisation: ranging from a decidedly high-tech style to one that is more intimate and familiar.
