A system of accessories to optimize small spaces in the kitchen – Design: Damiano Latini
At Damiano Latini, what is certain is that nothing is forever. This dynamic society, always with a keen eye on the world, draws inspiration from everyday life to create new products with attention to aesthetics and functionality. Aware of the change in millennials’ lifestyles, on the threshold of forty years and of all subsequent generations, Damiano Latini is looking for flexible, versatile furnishing solutions that can be easily removed and reconfigured in different environments.
Flag is a kitchen under-cabinet system designed to meet two specific needs: to optimize the limited spaces often featuring the kitchens and to offer a mobile solution that does not require fixing the backrest or wall units. Flag, as the product name suggests, is inspired by a flag. It is a vertical upright with a mobile element at the top that can rotate 180°, just like a flag tied to a pole.
The new feature of this system is the possibility to rotate an accessory 180°, thus allowing the user to position the undercabinet anywhere in the kitchen without worrying about the size of the accessories or that a shelf may be above the burners. A sub-cabinet system that does not require wall anchoring and placed between the worktop and the kitchen wall unit.
The manual rotation of the feet allows travel of the mast of 3 cm and guarantees stability to the system, putting the mast in tension. Flag is also customizable in the configuration both for the possibility of deciding the number of uprights and the position of the elements along the height of the vertical upright, and for the type of accessories that can be chosen (goblet holder, shelves, kitchen hooks, roll holder). The only fixed position is the swivel joint positioned 35 cm high from the top. In addition, the system is also available with LED lighting integrated into the rear of the pillar, with a remote control for switching on/off and adjusting the light intensity.
Flag will be exhibited for the first time at SICAM 2023, at Damiano Latini: Hall 1 – Stand C6.

– Flos illuminated ‘The Reading Room’ by Formafantasma at the Stockholm Furniture Fair –
Flos, has collaborated with Formafantasma and Stockholmsmässan last February on the occasion of Stockholm Furniture Fair, the largest and most important meeting place for furniture- and lighting design and interior architecture in Sweden.
Honouring its long-lasting relationship with the studio founded by Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin – Guests of Honor at this year’s show, Flos illuminated The Reading Room, a site-specific installation designed by the duo for the Entrance Hall. A clean, impressive array of iconic WireLine pendant lamps in a forest green finish perfectly match the space design concept.
The meaningful synergy between Flos and Formafantasma – based on shared values, commitment and research – has been expressed through the years not only in product design but also in collaborations for special installations in art and design shows or leading trade fairs, as in the case of The Reading Room: a quiet space where visitors could sit, read and reflect.
