No longer restricted to isolated elements, such as the worktops or sinks, Corian® has now been used to create an entire kitchen structure (split into two blocks, which are at the same time functional, compact and sleek) and an extensive modular range of cupboards and panelling. The surface is translucent, smooth and fluid, and is as pleasant to look at as it is to touch.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaNVsi7hj1M8GegSltR7zngflNRALKX1SVEn164uCxYqVp55nZ65wXAiXcESfqN5OELhoSzvQKkvwwYO9BH7kWjkbVDSGVJAmgZLA_iEPPFfV5tsfeDq5QdwyOZqXCNG0CJ08OGXJZgPI/s1600/598_z_island_zoom_01_e.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617459345602666930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaNVsi7hj1M8GegSltR7zngflNRALKX1SVEn164uCxYqVp55nZ65wXAiXcESfqN5OELhoSzvQKkvwwYO9BH7kWjkbVDSGVJAmgZLA_iEPPFfV5tsfeDq5QdwyOZqXCNG0CJ08OGXJZgPI/s400/598_z_island_zoom_01_e.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 527px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7nNMty7tOxrLQR9OepjzQiNRW7d3uKgWnCQfgVjM9J2Y0mJE0zgm2gYT5yjOrlEtUIyvvNo0l47yLcKtpDbfnFMg5i5Xg4IUtEPOAtmhWl9vD1yX4bdg_iTnmiq98wg2b-rT_s9uUz-E/s1600/hadid1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617462281371564082" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7nNMty7tOxrLQR9OepjzQiNRW7d3uKgWnCQfgVjM9J2Y0mJE0zgm2gYT5yjOrlEtUIyvvNo0l47yLcKtpDbfnFMg5i5Xg4IUtEPOAtmhWl9vD1yX4bdg_iTnmiq98wg2b-rT_s9uUz-E/s400/hadid1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 731px;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sophisticated instruments</span><br />The cooking island (with hob and hotplate) is extended and curves along the right hand edge; the washing island (with sink, draining area and completely hidden built-in dishwasher) is hexagonal and compact.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCLWcwF3gACxzFn7JEFX1rqKcrZM1eTCah7c0oze0M1q6AmTt6Grlxw-TAE592O255GOQeYhj7t-QvO2YNHBRB9XO4UKy74nvvvDgdmuV5hCz1uI7IeBy9iNNxN6XAhVSxsg9T2EGTBa0/s1600/596_z_island_zoom_01_c.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617459504822871202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCLWcwF3gACxzFn7JEFX1rqKcrZM1eTCah7c0oze0M1q6AmTt6Grlxw-TAE592O255GOQeYhj7t-QvO2YNHBRB9XO4UKy74nvvvDgdmuV5hCz1uI7IeBy9iNNxN6XAhVSxsg9T2EGTBa0/s400/596_z_island_zoom_01_c.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 322px;" /></a><br /><br />The horizontal surface of the former is provided with a scrolling LED script, while there is also a spotlight, an LCD screen and, slightly lower down, an mp3 player, two USB ports and a CD or DVD player.
