In Alessandro‘s memory, everything originates from all the movements that take place inside the house, and from these movements the activities themselves are generated. The kitchen island is precisely derived from this dining table. The table is the primary existence, with the island subsequently arranged to complement it.
Following this order, the island never competes with the table. It orbits the table like a moon around a planet. Energy flows from ”gathering“ (the table) to ”making“ (the island), never the reverse. This inversion of the traditional kitchen hierarchy is the defining characteristic of a ”lived-in home“ rather than a ”merely built house.“
