Bertazzoni three new metallic colours
Bertazzoni, in collaboration with MM Design, is pioneering research into innovative processing techniques inspired by renowned Italian excellences. Three new metallic finishes have been developed, capturing a positive essence through harmonious blends of light shades and vibrant textures.These finishes, featured prominently in products like the Modern Series built-in oven by Bertazzoni, infuse spaces with unexpected energy and warmth. The spectrum of colors and surfaces is broadening, with metals in brilliant finishes and material textures reflecting light in controlled ways. Gold, particularly versatile, adds depth and brightness, reflecting a trend towards joy and well-being inspired by nature’s beautyThe innovative Pure Metal Tech® technology intervenes by modifying the crystallographic structure of the metal, keeping it completely pure and recyclable, and enhancing its resistance. This process does not alter the material, ensuring its original integrity. Thanks to this technology, the finished products retain the essential properties of the metal, while also offering greater durability and reliability
The rigidized finishes represent the exceptional result of cold rolling on both sides – face & reverse – of stainless steel sheets. This high-pressure mechanical processing imparts a relief texture on the surface, giving the material a rigid and durable structure. Thanks to this technique, unique and distinctive finishes can be achieved.
