INSPIRED BY
Born from the collaboration between Officine Tamborrino and MCA Design , Memè is much more than a simple sideboard: it's a piece of furniture that tells a story, a bridge between past and future. Inspired by Mario Cucinella's fond memories of his grandmother's kitchen cabinet, this sideboard reinterprets a domestic icon with an innovative approach, attentive to modularity and sustainability.
MEMÈ'S DISTINCTIVE FEATURE IS ITS MODULARITY
Memè's distinctive feature is its modularity : composed of independent modules, it can transform into a low sideboard, wall unit, or mobile unit at different heights, adapting to space and functionality needs. But the beating heart of the project is the integrated hydroponic module , an innovative solution that allows you to grow aromatic herbs and vegetables directly in the kitchen, with a dedicated lighting system.
This detail redefines the relationship between interior design and nature, transforming the domestic space into a more sustainable and authentic environment. With Memè , Officine Tamborrino and MCA Design have created a piece that transcends aesthetics: it's an ode to conviviality, artisanal quality, and responsible innovation. A piece designed for those seeking elegant, versatile furnishings deeply rooted in the beauty of materials and memory.
