In the year of Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s 2025 color, Ernestomeda presents its iconic kitchens reinterpreted in this soft brown hue, conveying both elegance and warmth.
The Warm Embrace of Brown in Kitchens
This warm shade evokes feelings of comfort, reminiscent of the fragrant notes of cocoa, chocolate, and coffee, while also referencing the richness of natural earth tones. In kitchen environments, brown fosters a design that is simultaneously elegant, comfortable, and inviting.
Ernestomeda incorporates various shades of brown across its extensive range of finishes. The brand’s kitchen models are rendered evocative and refined by the warmth of brown, which, when expertly combined with diverse materials and heterogeneous chromatic pairings, imparts a unique and captivating allure to the kitchen space.
Sign: Contrasting Textures and Tones
The warm brown tones create striking contrasts in the Sign composition by Ernestomeda. It features bases in Hi-melamine Noce Canyon canneté, juxtaposed against a satin-finish steel worktop with an integrated Able sink and columns in satin-finish bronze lacquered metal. Daylight open units in Hi-melamine Noce Canyon frame the island, which incorporates the Line Table. The composition is completed by the K-System hood in satin-finish steel with solid Noce Canyon stained bamboo shelving.
One: A Study in Monolithic Design, Material Contrast, and Spatial Efficiency
With essential yet sophisticated detailing, One is defined by a functional approach ideal for experiencing the kitchen as a warm and refined living space. Various shades of brown are employed in this model: from the bases and back panel of the open units in Hi-melamine Midland with a Noce effect, to the Breccia Imperiale Granite worktop with an integrated sink, and the LED-lit shelves and open units in Flat Matt Moka lacquer. The capacious, monolithic-effect cabinets optimize space management and furnish the environment, enhancing entire walls or smaller kitchen areas.
Soul: A Study in Textural and Tonal Integration
Soul, the Ernestomeda kitchen model developed through the study of contemporary living dynamics, addresses both “emotional” and functional needs, where technology and design serve practicality. In the featured composition, the model incorporates various brown-toned elements: from the Flat Matt Moka lacquered doors to the Cyclos table in heat-treated oak, the Toffee Brown marble worktop and work area with a Leather finish, and the practical Quick sliding chopping board, also in heat-treated oak.
Material Innovation and Functional Integration
The use of Hi-melamine, lacquered metal, granite, and solid wood underscores Ernestomeda’s commitment to material quality and textural contrast. The integration of functional elements such as the Able sink, Line Table, and K-System hood demonstrates a focus on practical design solutions. The careful selection of finishes, including Noce Canyon canneté, Breccia Imperiale Granite, and Toffee Brown marble, contributes to the overall aesthetic refinement of the kitchens. The incorporation of LED lighting and considered storage solutions further enhances the usability and ambiance of the kitchen spaces.
