Never before has the kitchen played a more pivotal role in the home. Whether you live in a tiny apartment or a large home, the trend is to integrate the kitchen in an open-plan living room, a sole space devoted to the convivial moments you share with your entire family and friends. Furniture with a diverse range of functions, for the living room and the kitchen, are called upon to harmoniously complement each other, they are mixed with and enhance each other too. The new designer kitchens are the result of this intent. There are two approaches that satisfy all the necessary requirements: a kitchen-non-kitchen, with an accurate design and fine materials suitable for a living room, or a hidden kitchen, concealed with great elegance that disappears from plain sight when not in use.
We asked Anna Fidelio, the owner of Fidelio Arredamenti, a store in Ispica established fifty years ago, when carpenter Antonino Fidelio decided to add a store to his workshop to sell elegant furniture, carefully chosen by the insiders of the trade. Since then, Fidelio Arredamenti’s philosophy has focused on top quality products and currently, it’s a showroom for contemporary furniture with a considerable display are of 4000 sqm.

The hidden kitchen
A simple hand movement is all it takes to open the door and simultaneously turn the tap and the lights of the splashback on. Similarly to a conductor, you set the entire kitchen in motion and with as much grace, you close it making it disappear in your living room.
