The Atelier’s Note

METALLO ATELIER began as a wall of material samples in a small workshop — a slab of Carrara, a length of smoked oak, a strip of brushed steel, a swatch of leathered stone. Each morning, light moved in slow bars across the surface; each season, a new kitchen was documented to the millimetre and filed with a project number, a designer’s signature, and a full specification sheet.

Over the years the wall filled, and the workshop became this: a kitchen design catalogue read as a product archive — the way a furniture house keeps a yearbook of its finest objects. It is not a feed of trends. It is a private showroom of kitchens engineered as single, considered products, made public.

The design director

E. Rossi is the design director of METALLO. He files precisely — by layout, by material, by the way light falls across a countertop — and documents only kitchens the studio has itself specified. His promise: We document kitchens the way a workshop documents its finest objects.

What you will find here

Each entry is filed as one of three things: a standard product card — a square image that swaps to a detail view on hover, with a project number and designer; a star product — a wide hero with a full spec sheet listing countertop, cabinetry, appliances, lighting and budget; or a designer interview — a quote, signed.

The catalogue is organised by layout and material rather than by date. An island in spring may sit beside an L-shape in autumn; a marble countertop beside a brushed-steel galley. The “Filter By” levers and the material board let you sift by them.

How to read it

Begin anywhere. Hover a standard card to see its detail view. Open a star card to read its specification sheet. Sift through the “Featured Products” for quick inspiration. Or use the product index to find a kitchen by project number, material, designer, or city.

And if you would like the annual catalogue slipped into your inbox each month, leave your address with the studio. The filing is precise; the posting is unhurried.
