Kitchen projects rigorously made to measure, with carefully selected materials, processed by the skilled hands of experts, applying the latest technologies. This is the DNA of TM Italia, an Italian excellence that has distinguished itself in the production of high-end kitchen furniture with an advanced industrial system capable of creating unique, tailor-made pieces to meet the needs of the most demanding international clientele. A human-centered business philosophy that combines over 350 materials, nine models, and an endless variety of modules to create one of the widest product ranges on the market. Constant collaboration with designers and architects from all over the world, along with virtuous cooperation with universities and research centers, has allowed for the development of a particular attitude toward innovation, which, combined with the use of one-off production technologies, makes TM Italia the ideal partner for any designer in search of exclusivity and limitless design in the kitchen space or any other domestic environment.

Impexa Limited Edition Kitchen Suite

The Impexa Limited Edition Kitchen Suite fully represents the company philosophy. This conceptual kitchen emerges from an experimentation with the Californian duo MC+ (Mattia Biagi and Cardenio Petrucci) and explores the fascinating imperfection of nature with a system of iconic products conceived as functional artworks capable of illuminating the domestic scene with new reflections on living. The etymology derives from the Latin word for “disorder” and evokes the entropy that drives the organic evolution of natural ecosystems, offering a disrupting approach compared to traditional compositional standards in kitchen design: the unique morphology of the three islands ensures that no surfaces are parallel or orthogonal, but rather all are exquisitely different from each other, except for the horizontal planes.

The three modules dominate the space and are conceived as totemic elements to be placed within the environment, overturning the traditional perimeter positioning of furniture in favor of a “distributed” layout that becomes the protagonist of the domestic scene, inviting a new dialogue between the individual, the product, and the space.

Materials, Technologies, and Workmanship

The compositional elements have functional specializations: washing, cooking, and preparation. The side and front panels are made of steel processed using jewelry techniques to obtain different surfaces and effects of light: two super-gloss finishes (dark gold and nickel tones, a tribute to the warm reflections of the sun) combined with a super-matt finish (brass tones, a tribute to the icy surfaces of icebergs). The worktops are made of high-performance ceramics in a dark slate shade and a three-dimensional Vulcan effect surface, inspired by pristine solidified lava.

The cooking island integrates concealed induction technology, exploiting the technical characteristics of the ceramic material that allows its function even without a glass surface. The washing island is equipped with a hand-assembled single-material sink using traditional stone-working techniques. The internal structure of the three islands is made of ecological panels produced from recycled materials and wood fibers obtained from renewable sources certified PEFC, FSC, and CARB-P2 (low chemical emissions).

Non-stop Innovation

For over two decades, TM Italia has been developing highly innovative projects focused on environmental sustainability, home automation technologies applied to kitchen products, and the exploration of new ways of living. This valuable know-how is offered to support every designer in creating original, highly innovative projects, as an expression of Italian design worldwide and as an unwavering commitment to excellence and good design.

The prestigious i-NOVO award received for the Impexa project complements Compasso d’Oro and other important international design awards, showcasing TM Italia’s natural inclination toward innovation and relentless experimentation, as well as its ability to collaborate with architects and designers around the world.
