  • Mick De Giulio (born 1953) is an American designer, author and product designer widely recognized for growing the discipline of kitchen design. His highly customized rooms and furnishings met the rising importance of the kitchen in late 20th Century interior design with a dual focus on elevating its craft and functionality. Experimenting with open plans that allow for multiple family cooks to share work within a widening range of opportunities for gathering, he promoted the kitchen as the home's versatile new locus for entertaining. His designs often reveal their full art and flexibility in use, employing movable surfaces and fine architectural detail to alternately hide or draw eyes to kitchen activities. De Giulio's legacy to industry practices includes his innovations to the kitchen's range of products and furnishings (adding new levels of customization and versatility to kitchen cabinetry, the sink, kitchen appliances, and light fixtures) for instance, and his avid promotion of the kitchen designer as a profession beyond that of the cabinet seller. He is the author of two books on kitchen design, KitchenCentric (co-author Karen Klages Grace, Balcony Press, 2010) and KITCHEN (with Candace Ord Manroe, Pointed Leaf Press, 2015). (en)
