MARMI LANZA'S “SCENIC BY NATURE” PHILOSOPHY
APPLIED TO THE ULTIMATE SPACE FOR CONVIVIALITY:
THE OPEN-PLAN KITCHEN. IN INTERIOR
ARCHITECTURE, THE "OPEN PLAN" APPROACH
HAS GAINED SIGNIFICANT POPULARITY IN RECENT
YEARS. THIS TREND BIDS FAREWELL TO WALLS AND
PHYSICAL BARRIERS BETWEEN DIFFERENT LIVING
SPACE AREAS, CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT
WELL-DEFINED BOUNDARIES. THE KEYWORDS ARE
BRIGHTNESS, CONNECTIVITY, AND VERSATILITY.
AN
LIGHT AND LIGHT-COLOURED
MARBLE FOR EXPANDING
SPACES
One of the primary advantages of an
open plan is the brightness it offers
since it allows natural light to perme-
ate every corner of the space, creating
a bright and airy atmosphere. This
visual effect makes the living area
seem signif icantly more spacious,
making it particularly useful in small
spaces where maximising every avail
able centimetre is crucial Choosing
a lightcoloured natural stone for
walls and furnishings can help create
the illusion of a larger space It can be
paired with the use of multifunction
al furniture such as folding tables or
storage stools
