A
Well-Designed Kitchen
Kitchens should be
fun. Often functioning as the heart of the home, a well-designed
kitchen will represent the most exciting traits of a family’s
personality. To achieve this, clients have to entrust themselves
to a company that prides itself in the personalized results
that it delivers. The company must be able to offer a design
team with extensive knowledge and experience; one that is
prepared to think outside of the box while achieving a healthy
balance between ergonomics and aesthetics. “This is
what Cucine Ricci is all about,” says Craig LeBeau,
marketing manager of Cucine Ricci. The company is one of
Naples’ most progressive suppliers of imported Italian
kitchens and has earned itself a healthy reputation for
its contemporary design and dedication to their clients.
Cucine Ricci offers
the latest in European designs, with an expansive product
line from three Italian manufacturers: Cucine Lubé,
Europe’s largest kitchen manufacturer, with a daily
production of more than 360 complete kitchens per day; Cucine
Arredo3, an exciting manufacturer from the Venice region,
with a unique product line; and Cucine Miton, one of Italy’s
newest and technologically advanced manufacturers.
“With these
three manufacturers we are able to offer more than 200 different
door styles and finish combinations for kitchens, bathrooms
and closets,” says LeBeau. “Our styles range
from classical, through soft contemporary/transitional to
cutting-edge contemporary, creating an excellent aesthetic
result that will be an asset to any home in the Naples.”
An interesting
result of this offering in the Naples market is that the
overwhelming majority of kitchens sold by Cucine Ricci are
either transitional or contemporary, dispelling the notion
that Naples is a traditional town stuck in the design approaches
of the past.
“Another
fallacy that we are able to expose is that European kitchens
are only available to the very wealthy,” adds Werner
Venter, co-owner of Cucine Ricci. “This perception
exists only due to the fact that our competitors purchase
through middlemen, adding substantially to their prices.
We import directly from the Italian manufacturers, enabling
us to offer 40 to 50 percent savings to our clients over
comparable other German and Italian brands,” says
Venter. To encourage clients to test this claim, Cucine
Ricci offers their comprehensive design service and quotes
at no charge.
European designs
suit Florida lifestyles perfectly. There are many similarities
between kitchens in Naples, Florida and in Europe - space
is usually limited and requires a unique solution. “This
is definitely one of our strengths,” says LeBeau.
Cucine Ricci offers a turnkey remodeling service allowing
their clients the ability to entrust their project to a
team of true professionals. The company is well-respected
for their holistic approach to design and for assisting
their clients with their complete projects -- special planning,
construction, plumbing selections, interior finishes, lighting
and more. With a true understanding of contemporary design
principles, they are able to transform even the most mundane
area into an inviting and stimulating space.
Cucine Ricci
and its suppliers are very aware of pollution and deforestation
problems that seem to be without solution, but can at least
be limited through effort and research. “We have the
health of the environment at heart,” says LeBeau.
“Our products are 'Green Friendly', using low-environmental
impact materials such as water resistant V100 melamine boards,
class E 1 with low emissions of formaldehyde.” Cucine
Ricci lives and works with an eye towards respecting the
environment - with a commitment is to keep it preserved
for future generations.
At Cucine Ricci
the teams believes that the kitchen is the core of the house.
That’s why the designers and staff insist that a great
kitchen must be different, exciting and fun. It must be
practical and functional, yet serve the household for which
it was designed. And it should cost no more than a normal
mundane design. “This is all possible. We do it all
the time," says LeBeau. Great care is given to the
space optimization through multiple accessories and components.
“You are invited to visit our 2,700 square foot showroom
and browse all the exciting displays," says Venter.
"While you are there, sit down, have a cup of coffee
and explore your vision of your new design with one of our
knowledgeable staff.”
Cucine Ricci is
conveniently located on US 41 North in Naples, next to Agostino’s
Design Group and 300 yards north of Robb and Stucky. The
showroom features the latest in European design trends and
styles, along with state of-the art technology and organizational
accessories that provide design solutions that ensures the
most practical use of space in the kitchen. These features
combine to make a very beautiful and functional design that
is suited to your personality and lifestyle. Their standard
invitation is open to all: “Try us, at the very least
you will have some serious fun and get great ideas for your
kitchen, most likely you will enjoy life in your new Italian
kitchen for many years to come."
The company is
also a proud member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
