Art Smith, Oprah Winfrey's personal chef, designs his ideal Varenna
Poliform kitchen at home. Varenna Poliform, based in Italy with
showrooms throughout the USA, is the kitchen division of Poliform.
The kitchens are cleverly conceived providing individual components
to accommodate individual needs. The designs are highly sophisticated,
elegant and versatile and the very reason why Art Smith has chosen
Varenna Poliform as his kitchen of choice.
'My career as personal chef to the
worlds most celebrated people, has enabled me to cook in kitchens
worldwide, but the beauty, simplicity and functionality of Varenna
Poliform kitchens, is by far the most amazing cooking experience.
Varenna Poliform, is not just great design its a way to live beautifully',
states Smith.
Art Smith's Varenna Poliform kitchen, which was initially conceived
and designed by Kevin Fitzsimons, has the Ovangkol finish with white
carrara tops. Fitzsimons wanted the kitchen divided into three different
areas. Firstly, there is a desk where Smith can sit and write cookbooks
and draft and create recipes.
Secondly, the main cooking area has a camera installed into the
ceiling and a LCD monitor so that Art can create shows from home.
The kitchen has been designed to house dirty dishes out of sight
under the bench and away from the camera so it almost seems like
a functional set.
There is another area where guests or viewers can sit on the Varenna
Poliform stools and watch whilst he prepares his food. Thirdly,
there is a butler s pantry which is also a fully functional laundry
area as well as a wine storage area and home to a variety of amazing
appliances. Appliances such as an ice cream machine, pasta machines
and a cheese cave.
The collaboration of Smith, Fitzsimons and the Varenna Poliform
team has created an amazing fusion of ideas that has produced a
truly enviable, highly functional and timeless kitchen.
