Accessories for the house

Accessories of design, small but useful at home

They are small, attractive in design, but above all, they are very practical: they are small appliances, accessories and decorative objects for the house. I wouldn't call them essential but, sometimes, they solve some problems of organization of space available, or management of the activities to be carried out in the kitchen or in other small spaces.

When they are also the result of creative minds, they surely add a special touch to those spaces that, by definition, are the most practical of the house and become even more pleasurable.

Upon its release on the market, the proposal for the kitchen seemed like the Columbus egg, it came out with an outstanding name: Dùspaghi, the pot pasta cookers distributed by IPAC. It is a simple but brilliant idea, like all great ideas that are born from a simple observation of the action and of the elements involved in a particular operation to be performed.


It is a pot with the shape and size designed to cook the spaghetti in the right way, without breaking them, avoiding both to waste water and gas, waiting boiling. In addition to the normal home kitchen, it is also ideal for sailboats and small yachts, thanks to its compact size and the fact that the colander is integrated into the lid, saving space when stored.

The handles are soft-touch, patented, and allow you to lock the lid securely to the colander, to drain easily and directly from the pot itself, without getting burned.

Born for spaghetti, with a liters indicator in the inside, this pot can be used of course for long pasta, and also for fish, long vegetables such as asparagus, and for all those dishes that need the elongated shape of Dùspaghi. Its design allows you also to use it to bring the pasta directly on the table, avoiding the use of other containers.

Accessories for induction cooking

We are on the subject of accessories and complements for cooking, let's see the proposals of the brand Emile Henry. It is called 1850, the collection of pots and pans for cooking with induction born thanks to the collaboration with the designer Laurent Corio, who chose the name in 1850 to celebrate the history of the French brand manufacturer of pottery in Burgundy.

This collection combines, in fact, the many benefits of cooking in ceramic pots with the advantages of innovative induction technology. There are four products that make up the line: Tajine, Skillet, Cocotte and Tarte Tatin.

The aesthetic feature is the linear shapes of the design and the essentiality of the color that clearly refers to the earth, the material from which the ceramics derive. Each piece is guaranteed for 5 years and it is presented in an elegant gift box accompanied by a cookbook.

The collection 1850 was created specifically for the induction, but the special ceramics used by the company makes it the ideal choice even in the case of classical hobs and ovens or microwave. It is a patented material that provides a slow cook, consistent and above all, healthy.

Accessories 50's style in the kitchen

If you love vintage, you will appreciate the collection of small appliances Smeg 50's, designed with a strong aesthetic impact: the lines are soft, rounded shapes and compact, typical of the period to which they refer.


They are models that evoke past sensations, recover the memory of time and place, are the protagonists of the space itself in which they are presented, characterizing it. They are, at the same time, concrete evidence of a technology that allows their performance to the highest quality, in line with the expectations of modern living more intransigent in the kitchen.

Aesthetics of other times and chefs performance for the two models with 2 or 4 slices toaster, kettle classical and electronic, for the mixer and the blender. All of these small appliances are available in seven different colors.

Silver metal accessories

Argenteria Schiavon participated for the first time at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, and for the occasion presented a preview of the new Leaf collection, consisting of objects for the table and the house made of silver metal on a project by the designer Matteo Nunziati.

Classical and modern, wisdom in craftsmanship and skill in reinterpreting historical forms with contemporary language: this has given rise to a collection that is inspired by the lines of baroque architecture.

The series of these table accessories consists of: centerpieces, jug, vase and tray in two different sizes. The formal design of the tray reproduces the drape of a fabric, with effect handled accentuated thanks to the brightness of the metal.

Baroque curves for the vessel and the centerpiece, enhanced by the reflections of silver, while the pitcher has a design that resembles the silhouette of a sparrow. In each of these objects the shape is designed to take advantage of the reflective properties of the material to emphasize the sinuous blur effect, typical of the Baroque.
