Claudio Silvestrin’s latest design project, Etherea, in collaboration with Minotticucine, has been nominated in the “Kitchen” category for the ELLE DECO International Design Awards (EDIDA) 2027, Japan Edition.

Launched in 2003, the ELLE DECO INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AWARDS or EDIDA is a unique international event where the 25 Editors in Chief of the ELLE DECORATION international network gather to award global excellence in design in 15 categories.

Drawing inspiration from aether — Plato’s fifth vital element — and from Mother Nature, Etherea anticipates the aesthetics of the next 20 years. Its innovative beauty challenges our visual conventions and beliefs.

Crafted in Corian, a modern, malleable and lightweight material, the kitchen resembles a stone or a floating meteorite. With its absence of right angles, Etherea appears to float in the air and space.

Claudio Silvestrin’s intention is to de-materialize the kitchen as an object, making it “ethereal”, with a beauty that feels almost natural, beyond linear time and the culture of the machine.
