According to the latest investigations in the world of design, coal-plastic which has been used for making “Formula I” cars and racing bicycles, is now a fashionable material. Ralf Lauren used if for a frame for an arm-chair RL-CFI, and VERTU designers used it for the back panel of a mobile phone Ascent Motorsport Limited Edition. But nobody made kitchen fronts out of coal-plastic! Italian company VALCUCINE offers to use this material for designing a front of their the most hi-tech kitchen – model Ricica.
