“Salinas is the beach of my childhood, a long sandy beach with dunes along the Bay of Biscay, Asturias, with huge, crashing waves and intense colours. The kitchen in my grandfather’s house, which commanded a view of that very beach, brings back fond memories of those moments”: with these words Patricia Urquiola describes the inspiration source for Salinas, a kitchen based on an idea of modular structure that offers endless and sophisticated solutions, while maintaining its authentic, strong and linear design.
The designer defines the matt black metal structure a “hidden machine”, with modular base units which, once matched, a fully functional composition. Doors and fronts, with recess for the handle, are made of light panels of different materials and colours: ranging from metal (zinc/brass/copper) to aluminium finishing, industrial glass, lacquers or textured concretes. Worktops are in matt ceramic, marble, lava stone Nerosicilia decorated in relief, with an exclusive design by Patricia Urquiola. The worktop is equipped with a modular track with accessories and with an integrated downdraft hood. There is also a “chopping board-table” in solid water-painted Olivato ash or oil-effect varnished Canaletto walnut, that slides to create more space for meal preparation, or can be also used as a snack top. A modular frame-structure, integrated in the equipped track, completes the worktop. It can be fitted with shelves, wall units, LED lighting bars, hanging bars. Salinas is flexible in its configurations which can be of a single material, a single colour or any combination of materials and colours in each element: a modular system that can be considered at the same time a “customised” kitchen. This product has been awarded the Wallpaper* Design Awards and EDIDA-Elle Deco International Design Award as Best Kitchen in 2015. In 2016 it has been awarded an honourable mention in the “Compasso D’oro ADI-Associazione per il Disegno Industriale”.
The panels can be combined in a wide range of finishes and replaceable over time.
Fixed, removable or sliding, the peninsula is attractive and functional.

The polyester lacquering is carried out by a process of applying paints on MDF panels, with several coats. The surfaces are sanded with different coarse-grained and fine-grained sandpapers. Then they are polished using brushes impregnated with abrasive wax.
The result obtained is a very glossy surface (close to the mirror effect) that reaches 95 gloss. Polyester is a very resistant material, practically waterproof; its surface does not absorb, but is sensitive to scratches. The scratched surface can be re-smoothed and re- polished or even repaired adding material and then by sanding and smoothing it again.
Three layers of paint coat each surface, it means 900 g/m2 (ca. 1 mm thick); nine layers of paint coat each edge (ca. 3 mm thick). It is sensitive to light if directly exposed for very long periods. It can slightly change the tone, becoming lighter especially on light tones (family of whites).
In case of element additions in a second moment, these tone changes cannot be perfectly replicated and may not match exactly the original shade. This issue cannot be considered cause for a complaint.

Metal-effect lacquer. Easy Metals is a finishing that reproduces the typical effect of metallic surfaces, obtained by use of metal particles-enriched solvent-based paints.
Variations in brightness (halos caused by the spread of the paint metal particles along the surface) make each piece a unique and exclusive.

Metal-effect lacquer.
Metals is a special finishing which reproduces the typical effect of brushed metallic surfaces, rendered through a very precise and technical sequence of production cycles. The characteristic metallic effect of the surface is given by the alternation of manual and mechanical processes, by the quality of the metal particles-enriched solvent-based paints and by the complex drying procedure.
The various shades of colour (halos caused by the spread of the paint chromium particles) and the succession of multi-directional brushing of the surface make each piece a unique and exclusive one.
