NEDRA by Fran Silvestre for GANDIABLASCO

The new Nedra outdoor kitchens are a design born from the collaboration between GANDIABLASCO and Porcelanosa, signed by the Valencian architect Fran Silvestre. A very innovative proposal at an aesthetic and technical level, due to its essential and light design, which incorporates a novel table-like module as well as a hidden induction system, in which the hobs are integrated into the countertop providing a uniform surface when not in use. Nedra is a kitchen born not to be perceived as such, which blends into the environment and looks like just another piece of furniture, so when it is revealed as a kitchen it is surprising.

Both from GANDIABLASCO and from the Fran Silvestre studio, the idea of designing an outdoor kitchen arose from a real demand. “In our projects, we found that more and more clients were requesting this type of kitchen and we could not find an option on the market that really convinced us,” explains Fran Silvestre. “So for this collaboration between GANDIABLASCO and Porcelanosa, we designed one that would be like the one we would like to integrate into the spaces we conceive.”

The result is an innovative outdoor kitchen with a minimalist aesthetic of clean lines, a design style and architectural and social conception of spaces shared between Fran Silvestre and GANDIABLASCO. “We share the same values in the way we understand design and lifestyle, in how we conceive the enjoyment of outdoor spaces and in the search for an aesthetic that dialogues with the landscape and architecture. We have always been very aligned, giving great importance to simplicity, light and the relationship with the environment,” adds the architect.

“In our Mediterranean culture, gastronomy is closely linked to outdoor living, and we have always wanted to convey these values, so designing an outdoor kitchen gave us the opportunity to do so,” explains Alejandra Gandía-Blasco Lloret, creative and communication director of Gandia Blasco Group
