ilko’s vision for its products is based around what managing director Paolo Zunino calls “Te Italian design.” Tey are “very smartly designed kitchen equipment, very minimal,” he says, with the simplicity of the
design key to increasing the operational efficiency of the kitchen. For example, Silko worktops are flat so that every function can be performed on one level, meaning it’s easier to clean and to move things around from surface to grill to boiler. Tis is a huge asset when running fast-paced operations. Te Legend Hotel is the first 5-star hotel in
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia. Built over 14 floors, it has 177 hotel rooms plus a congress/ convention center for 500-600 people and boasts stunning views of the Kamchatka Peninsula’s beautiful bay on one side and mountains on the other. At the Legend, Silko products enable the hotel management to address the challenges they face across five kitchens, two restaurants and five
bars. For example, Silko's Monoblock solution, supplied by Apach Chef Line, integrating freezer and refrigeration elements, was required to provide the flexibility for rapid cuisine changes, along with stability and storage space. Silko was able to offer this client a unique L-shaped Monoblock solution combining 700- and 900-Series equipment. Te attention to detail and focus on optimizing
the functionality of the kitchen is what sets Silko apart. “Clients love to work with a partner that can take care of the design of the full kitchen, with very special attention to the design and the construction of single or multi-blocks which are capable of naturally leading the movements and work of chefs and cooks,” says Zunino. According to one executive at the Legend
Hotel, “Silko is well known for style, prevision and quality. We value the expertise and openness of the manufacturer. We like the quality of the final product and we love the design.” Te Silblock is a smart, standalone kitchen multi- block to be presented for the first time at this year's
