Showcasing Snaidero and Fabulous Flooring by Megabox

Our stunning Snaidero Project

It was a pleasure collaborating with builders to complete a prestigious project in Quinta do Lago, Algarve.

We supplied two beautiful Snaidero kitchens in a stunning new luxury villa.

We worked closely with the Architects to use the vast open space available to incorporate the kitchen into the overall design of the house.

The lacquered columns with the encased fridge and ovens are in a free-standing module continuing the surrounding wall panels.

The back clad wall and the front of the island reflect the immense floor-to-ceiling wood chimney piece.

All juxta positioned to play with the light entering from the surrounding windows framing the colourful gardens.

Natural wood is dominant throughout the concept design of the house, including a stunning hand-crafted spiral staircase.

The back of the kitchen panel also serves as a space divider where a service area with more hidden storage space is accessible.

This is all framed by a ribbed hardwood wall.

The Snaidero doors are in lacquered Cappuccino with Laminam on the Island tops. All are integrated into the open-plan dining area.

To maintain continuity, the front of the cooking station is clad in matching ribbed wood.

With BORA, there's no need for an extractor hood, allowing the island to blend in with the interior décor as does the rest of the kitchen.

Snaidero's storage solutions continue to impress with these extra wide drawers with wooden interiors perfectly situated under the BORA.

Endless possibilities

Select your shelves and interiors by Snaidero with a variety of wood and glass shelving.

Add room for spices and jars with woven shelving.

Wine racks, cheese boards and shelves for your condiments in sustainable woods.

Revolutionise kitchen life with a series of new functions and unexpected twists.

Customise to your client's desire.

Quality Control

At the end of a project we always conduct an inspection of the final kitchen ensuring quality control.

This Snaidero kitchen, located in the basement service area is equally stunning.

Showing Snaidero’s quality and design shining through at every level.

One last view from the chef's eyes before we leave.

Collections with an ultramodern touch to wood surfaces. 

Listone Giordano’s products stand out for their innovation and excellence.

Dedicated to the memory of Guglielmo Giordano, the Guglielmo Giordano Foundation promotes historical and technological studies and research on wood, while at the same time interacts with the art world to create beautiful designs.

Their 'Natural Genius' collection takes parquet flooring to the world of contemporary design, redefining the aesthetic rules of classic wooden parquet and laying patterns.

The top International Designer, Patricia Urquiola designed Biscuit, a project that is developed around the concept of softness and is characterised by a free composition of lines and shapes.

Transversal incisions and micrometric joints makes the hardwood floor stable, keeping it from warping, making it a perfect choice for villas in Portugal.

Perfect for Indoor and Out

All the wood featured in the Listone Giordano Outdoor collections are perfectly suitable for outdoor use thanks to their high resistance to mechanical stress and high content of natural extractors that provide extra stability and durability.

Graphit, the matt black parquet is born from an innovative process that reuses graphite from industrial plant processing. Genius!

Sustainability in Action

You can offer peace of mind when offering natural hard wood floors to your eco-conscious clients as Listone Giordano actively promotes sustainable forestry. They carefully monitor the supply chain and select raw materials directly from responsible origins. 💚

Wood lifecycle is very slow, but ecological and renewable, if conducted according to sustainable forestry management. 

Managed woods, with a controlled lifecycle that encourages wood usage and its regeneration, represent a system not only capable of oxygen production but most of all of carbon dioxide retaining and reduction even more efficiently than the ones grown wild. 

This is the reason behind the Company’s presence, for over 50 years, for wood from the Burgundy region of France, as the area has a century-old tradition in sustainable forestry management and in Umbria, the green heart of Italy’s Oak trees.

New Collections from Mirage Ceramic Tiles

However, if solid wood flooring is out of the client's budget, Mirage ceramic tiles imitate a realistic wood finish and are a popular choice with a variety of finishes and styles for indoor and outdoor spaces.

An ideal choice for outdoor spaces, basements and especially commercial projects such as hotels.

Mirage also has innovative sustainable solutions, turning waste into value by utilising 60% of pre-consumer recycled content in their new Resource collections.

ReSource regenerates materials by recovering and using what was once considered waste in to new tiles giving a lower environmental impact.

The Restone Collection in porcelain stoneware is extracted from the Vienne region, blending Limestone and Chauvigny Stone.

Featuring a granular finish for uniformity and a delicate, marbled texture enriched by subtle, non-intrusive veins.

This aesthetic recalls sandy expanses, dotted with microfossils that add points of interest and chromatic depth to the collection.

How to take your design up a notch...

A contemporary design seeks a craftsmanship approach. Nostalgia for ancient traditions and trades lets us discover new textures, combined with new production processes that may be slower but more sustainable for today's design.

Nagomi Collection

...with an interplay of textures

A contemporary design seeks a craftsmanship approach. Nostalgia for ancient traditions and trades lets us discover new textures, combined with new production processes that may be slower but more sustainable for today's design.

The collaboration between Atelier Mirage and the architect Hadi Teherani has yielded Nagomi which embodies this trend perfectly producing five different compositions, inspired by mosaic art and reflecting five natural elements.

Your Vision, Your Choice.
