Henry timi3/29/2023 We want people to really think about what they want to see in that mirror glass, what ambience do you want to create. “You can see how beautiful the environment is, and what is mirrored in the glass. The refrigeration pieces are custom-made, but Massobrio liaised with V-ZUG to obtain the Swiss boutique manufacturer’s proprietary black mirror glass to use in the doors to the small fridge and the blast chiller for a consistent aesthetic.īeyond V-ZUG’s seamless designs, Massobrio also loves the way the mirror glass creates another visual device to consider in a kitchen’s design through its reflective properties, introducing an almost impressionist, poetic element to the room. V-ZUG’s role did not end with the cooking appliance, however. Timi’s rapport with Massobrio and appreciation of the V-ZUG product is reciprocated: “Having built a relationship with Paola, a reference point and trust for us thanks to her excellent sensitivity, we found the extreme elegance of V-ZUG appliances the perfect counterbalance for where the aesthetic absence speaks about high knowledge and technological performance,” says Timi. “Both use great craftsmanship combined with research, experimentation and passion.” “We matched Timi with V-ZUG in this project because they are two excellences – both are extreme, rigorous, clean,” continues Massobrio. ‘Disappearing’ into the central cube, V-ZUG’s CombairSteamer V6000 from its new Excellence line features a handle-less auto door, meaning the oven presents a streamlined façade with no extraneous elements to help achieve Timi’s signature ‘essence in absence’ look. It’s why we decided to leave him completely free and say ‘Okay, this is the technology – you do what you would like to do.’” “And what excites me about the philosophy of Henry Timi is his ability to have a total correlation between thought and project, between the idea and the realisation. “We’ve known each other for a long time and he’s always in search of appliances that ‘disappear’,” says Massobrio. First unveiled in the designer’s Rome gallery, and recently showcased at Salone in Milan, the collaboration is not Frigo2000’s first with Timi. Quietly recessed into the latter, you’ll find an oven by V-ZUG as well as two fridges at your service. The kitchen in question consists of two pieces: a monolithic island bench and a vertical stack of three cubes seemingly floating on top of each other. It’s rare to find a CEO of a kitchen appliance supplier this fearless about supporting creativity, but she’s reaping some major personal rewards – and the world gets to marvel at another Timi masterwork. We are deeply grateful to Henry Timi and designer Federico Delrosso for joining us and also wish to express our thanks to the design lovers that shared this inspiring evening with us.They say that fortune smiles on the brave and Paola Massobrio certainly has a lot to smile about when talking about Frigo2000’s latest project with Henry Timi.
