For Barazza, EuroCucina 2018 served a journey through modernity to the future – showcasing a series of cutting-edge innovations for the kitchen. Significant product evolutions ranging from ovens to hobs and to food storage systems were presented in an area created to exhibit, illustrate and experiment with shapes and functionality.

“The ergonomic for us means essential space and essential design,” says Barazza’s marketing and communications head Francesca Lovisotto, “Technology in the kitchen is really important, and for Barazza the idea is to put technology and design together – creating products that re ergonomic, easy to work with, and that are friendly with you”

In the brand’s 50th year, it’s clear the Barazza team are showing no signs of slowing down or easing up on the innovation front. EuroCucina was a venue for the team to show off the new Lab Evolution Hob, available with or without integrated cooker hood. Offering modularity and flexibility, the hob is characterised by sleek, flush surfaces. The distinctive personality of Lab has evolved even further, being given greater depth, Flat Eco-design burners and cast iron Soft-Touch pan supports.

With the integrated cooker hood, the Flat Eco-design burners generate a vertical flame, ensuring greater efficiency, less heat loss and uniform cooking with Soft-Touch cast iron pan supports that are pleasant to touch, more resistant and dishwasher safe.

Both options are available with a Lab Cover, which allows the hob area to be transformed into a covered, safe work area that’s as functional as it is sleekly stylish.

On the induction front, Barazza have also introduced the Space induction job. Efficient and elegant, Space has been designed to widens your cooking horizons, thanks to its range of functions. Space with Touch controls and a multi-slider is now available in a new model with a central cooker hood. Steam does not rise and is extracted directly – which means a simple and safe cooking process.

Lastly, there is Fusion. Barazza’s innovative system Fusion takes the traditional concept of kitchen appliances to a new level. The system allows for an entirely personalised built in appliance solution for any kitchen. Able to be installed quickly on any type of top, the Fusion system technology allows for the total integration of cooking and washing systems directly into the worktop. Aside from being a designer’s dream for practical reasons, the resulting space is a single stainless steel element in line with a client’s needs – stylish, practical and customizable in full.

In Australia, the Barazza range is proudly distributed through their partner Abey.
