Aster Cucine Pure Glam kitchen — dark stone island and feature wall
Aster Cucine · Pesaro, Italy

A single Italian workshop, thirteen rooms of design.

Founded in 1981 in the Marche region of central Italy, Aster Cucine builds every door, frame, and cabinet to order in its Pesaro factory. Cabinetry is engineered for the long life of an heirloom — solid carcass construction, FSC-certified panels, soft-close drawers and hinges throughout, and a finish program developed alongside Italy's leading lacquer, laminate, and stone houses.

The thirteen collections are not thirteen catalogs. They are thirteen design vocabularies that share an underlying grammar — the same accessory program, the same drawer mechanics, the same configurable interior fittings — so a Quintessence island can sit in the same room as an Opera hutch without feeling like two different houses.

Collections

Thirteen design languages, one Italian atelier. Each Aster Cucine collection begins with a mood — Moderno, Transitional, Tradizionale — and builds outward into a complete vocabulary of finishes, profiles, and proportions. Choose the collection that speaks your home’s voice; mix within a collection, or across them, without ever breaking the design.

Aster Cucine · Material Library · Moderno & Factory

Six finish families, one kitchen.

Every Moderno and Factory kitchen draws from the same material vocabulary — mix within a family or across them without breaking the composition. Pick a family to see what's in range. Screen swatches are approximations — the true surface needs to be touched in the showroom.

Laminate — melamine, texture decors & unicolor

The laminate programme spans three price families: melamine textures (group 0), texture decors with wood, metal, and stone effects (group 1), and unicolor laminates with matching edge bands in stone, marble, and timber reads (group 3). Click any swatch to enlarge — screen reproduction is approximate.

Price Group 0

Melamine Textures

Price Group 1

Texture Decors

Price Group 3

Unicolor Laminates — with matching edge band

Screen reproduction approximates the laminate face — the true surface texture, sheen, and edge-band relief only read in hand. Request physical samples or visit the San Jose showroom. Reference: Aster Inside Moderno & Factory PDF.

Lacquer — matt, glossy, metallic & metal effect

Five lacquer programmes across the Aster Moderno and Factory families — Vision matt/glossy and Ultramatt (base palette), Studio matt/glossy with its full colour library, and the metallised Supermatt and metal-effect lacquers used for accent pieces. Each code carries an opaco/lucido pair (e.g. S01 matt / S11 gloss).

Price Group 2/3 · Vision & Ultramatt

Vision Lacquered & Ultramatt

Price Group 5/6

Studio Lacquered — full colour palette (matt/gloss)

Price Group 7

Metallic Lacquered — opaque & glossy

Price Group 7

Metal Effect & Metallic Supermatt

Matt and glossy lacquers behave differently in kitchen light; matt reads as pure colour while glossy amplifies depth and reflection. Metallic and supermatt finishes shift with viewing angle. Request physical samples to see all sheens in hand. Reference: Aster Inside Moderno & Factory PDF.

Fenix® — nanotech matt surface

Fenix® is a thin-layer, super-matt, fingerprint-resistant surface that self-heals minor scratches with heat. Used across Moderno, Contempora, Brera, and Pure Glam — available as 2-sided (price group 5, F-series matt code) or 1-sided (price group 4) panels. Each colour carries a 1-side / 2-side code pair (e.g. F21 1-side / F01 2-side).

Price Group 4/5

Fenix — full palette

Fenix reads as an almost painterly matt — the surface visibly absorbs light and feels soft to the touch. The thermal self-healing property is dramatic in person. Request physical samples to experience the finish.

Stone — real stone, gres porcelain & oleomalta

Three families of stone-read surfaces: natural real-stone slabs (pietre), large-format Laminam gres porcelain with matt and glossy finishes, and the signature Oleomalta troweled-mortar surface used for monolithic fronts. Real stone has natural vein variability — each panel is photographed at full-slab scale so you can preview the pattern at life size.

Price Group 7

Oleomalta — troweled mortar surface

Price Group 23–25

Pietre — real stone full slab

Price Group 18–19 · Total Laminam 24–26

Gres / Laminam — large-format porcelain

Real stone has natural vein variability — full slabs need a showroom review before specification. Book a visit to see the current slab inventory, or view the Aster catalog.

Metal — stainless steel, copper, bronze & officina

Metal surfaces run the full range — satin, glossy, and hammered stainless steel; glossy, brushed, and antiqued copper; bronze variations including matt petrol bronze; and the five Officina aged-metal finishes used across Factory.

Price Group 11–13

Acciai — stainless steel

Price Group 13–16 · Factory

Copper, Bronze & Officina — aged metals

Metals develop patina over time; the Officina finishes are deliberately aged and will continue to evolve. Request physical samples to see surface behaviour in hand.

Wood — essenze, exclusive, foglia & factory solids

The wood library spans three Essenze price groups, plus Foglia metallised leaf and Factory solid woods. Standard essenze include oaks, walnuts, elms, eucalyptus, and thermo-treated species; exclusives add sycamore, ebony, rosewood Santos, teak, and olive. Each code carries an opaco/lucido pair (e.g. W55 matt / W45 gloss).

Essenze · Price Group 1 (matt/gloss)

Rovere & Canaletto — base oaks and walnuts

Essenze · Price Group 2 (matt/gloss)

Olmo, Noce, Eucalipto & thermo veneers

Essenze · Price Group 3 (matt/gloss)

Exclusive — sycamore, teak, ebony & rare species

Price Group 12

Foglia — gold, silver & rose gold leaf (matt/gloss)

Factory · Price Group 9–20

Factory — solid woods & treated surfaces

Wood is a natural material — grain, colour, and bookmatching vary tree to tree, especially for the exclusive veneers. View full Aster catalog for bookmatching examples, or request physical samples.

Kesseböhmer & Blum · Accessory Programme

Precision hardware inside the Italian kitchen.

The pantry is where Kesseböhmer began. Vibo’s Urban and Wire larder frames and pull-outs round out the tall run.
