The elegance of Hi-Melamine: a versatile material

A very trendy material which has gained vast popularity in the last few years. Extremely versatile and eye-catching in appearance, it offers excellent technical properties thanks in part to its strength and reliability. Ernestomeda Art Director Giuseppe Bavuso has selected Hi-Melamine as material of choice for the new Sign kitchen collection. 

The wood-effect variants in particular convey a sophisticated, very elegant style thanks to their impressive technical characteristics. They offer all the beauty of wood without any of the changes in shade and colour which occur in the living material. The detail of their patterning provides an extremely precise look that even reproduces the tactile nature of the veining. The Sign range offers 15 wood-effect finishes, including three with canneté, or ribbed, surface.

Here are some possible uses of Hi-Melamine in the kitchen, specifically in Giuseppe Bavuso’s creative ideas that underline the special character of the Sign Collection.

 

Fantastic Sign in Canyon Walnut

A material perfect for the doors of the Sign Collection. In this composition, in particular, canneté Canyon Walnut immediately bestows warmth on the kitchen, in an absolutely impeccable contrast with satined steel. A tough, technical material, steel gives the kitchen personality and style combined with outstanding convenience. Hi-Melamine is used on the base and tall units and in the Line Table. The canneté finish of the base units provides a tactile texture, adding sensory pleasure to the overall effect.

 

Boiserie panel

The construction of a boiserie panel on the wall is another possible application. This very distinctive feature modifies the perception of space with great style. The open elements of Stay, the user-friendly modular shelf system with handy partitions, are a smart way of equipping the Set boiserie panels. The compartments can accommodate various functional and decorative accessories. Hi-Melamine transforms the boiserie into a unique and highly sophisticated interior design feature.

 

Daylight open units

Hi-Melamine can be adopted for multiple items within the kitchen to create a warm, inviting interior that may match the storage units within the living area. This can be achieved with the Daylight open units, designed for inclusion, to suit personal taste, in base, tall or wall units, for an uninterrupted sequence from kitchen to living room. These units allow solid and empty sections to be alternated to add variety to the design scheme, while wood-effect Hi-Melamine defines its character with elegance and warmth.
