Collegio alla Querce
Inside the prestigious Collegio alla Querce, part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, Officine Gullo has created an open kitchen that embodies the perfect balance of Florentine craftsmanship, refined design, and cutting-edge professional technology.
The project, developed in collaboration with Arch Florence, was born from the desire to give new life to the Collegio’s ancient refectory, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind space in the world of hospitality.
A setting suspended between history and modernity, where the kitchen becomes the beating heart of the gourmet restaurant La Gamella, turning into a true Chef’s Table: a convivial space where guests can enjoy an immersive gastronomic experience, watching dishes being prepared, interacting with the chefs, and taking part in engaging culinary masterclasses.
Location
Collegio alla Querce, Florence, Italy.
Appliances
The centrepiece of the space is a striking 3.8-metre-long island, equipped with a welded stainless-steel sink, induction hob, and a large worktop framed in burnished brass with a front bar. The lower section integrates refrigerators, drawers, and storage compartments, while a majestic “High Pyramid” hood in burnished copper with brass details towers above the island, adding a theatrical and iconic touch to the project.
Colors and Materials
Glossy blue-green “Artichoke” shade, burnished brass, burnished copper, and fine metal details.
