"Natural Inclinations," Traditional Home,September 1996, p.57.〕 Lifestyle changes over the past quarter century inform his designs,〔 which are of a generation that break from the one-cook-only work triangle of the “Frankfurt Kitchen” to include multiple family cooks, as well as lingering and dining areas to encompass a new range of gatherings—from everyday casual to formal—now centered inside the family kitchen.〔 As the kitchen grew into one of the home’s more important rooms, De Giulio garnered praise for professionalizing the craft of its design.〔 Apart from his distinctive interiors, De Giulio’s legacy to industry practices are a more holistic focus on the kitchen’s diverse range of innovative products and furnishings (woodwork, sinks, appliances and lighting, for instance),〔 and the promotion of the kitchen designer as a profession beyond that of the cabinet seller.〔De Giulio, Mick and Klages Grace, Karen. Kitchen Centric, "The Kitchen Era" essay by James Bakke Balcony Press, 2010, p. 22.〕 Said Rolf Willers, former C.E.O. of SieMatic Mobelwerke USA, “DeGiulio is a major force in shaping the Kitchen Business….He put ‘Design’ into ‘Kitchen Design’.”〔Gidwani, Gita. de Giulio Celebrates 25 years, press release, July 6, 2009.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mick DeGiulio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
