< img src= "https://www.remodelista.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/celia-solf-kitchen-cover-crop.jpg" alt =" "> In a 1904 home in Bolzano, Italy, creative director Celia Solf and her partner, hotelier Moritz Dissertori, have produced a cooking area that stabilizes early 20th-century character with extra utility. When Celia moved from Berlin to join Moritz South Tyrol in 2023, the couple discovered the property, opened the wall in between the cooking area and dining-room, then painted the interiors a soft white. They relocated just as the renovation covered– days before welcoming their baby. Initial terrazzo floors stay in the kitchen, corridor, and bath; over 100-year-old pine planks run underfoot somewhere else for a dose of regional history.
After relocating to Italy, Solf was investigating for her interiors work and discovered Very Easy Kitchen, teaming up with them directly to produce a generously scaled stainless steel setup tailored to the space. The result is pared back but warm: commercial steel set versus timeworn surfaces, world lights overhead, and a couple of thoughtfully sourced vintage pieces. It’s a cooking area put together quickly at a turning point– join us for a more detailed look.

Above: Pine flooring throughout the home is more than a century old– common for homes of that period. The world lights are Blown Glass Globe Pendants in white from Zangra. The chair is an original Tobia Scarpa piece found at a vintage market in Italy.
Above: Celia’s Berlin cooking area, too, was all stainless– but much smaller.
Working with Very Easy Cooking area, she configured their Wall and Island kitchen models in stainless for a compact galley result.< img design=" margin-bottom:16 px

The table sits directly opposite so when my partner and our kid exist, we can talk while I’m cooking,” Celia describes.” I’m not somebody who sits for long periods. I choose being active, and the kitchen area is the location where that fits best.”< img style=" margin-bottom:16 px; max-width:100 %; height: vehicle" width=" 733" height=" car" loading= "lazy" class=" size-full wp-image-1557393" src=" http://www.remodelista.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/celia-solf-kitchen-south-tyrol-6.jpg" alt=" celia solf cooking area south tyrol 136"/ > Above: Hanging near the kitchen area is a Bed Canopy from Minor Things for an instantaneous toddler backyard.
