Foster

Foster is an Italian company founded in 1973 and based since 1988 in Palazzo Terranova, a restored seventeenth-century former Franciscan convent in Brescello, near Reggio Emilia. Across four specialised plants it designs and manufactures stainless steel kitchen systems – sinks in AISI 304 and AISI 316, mixers, hobs, hoods, ovens, fridges and dishwashers – sold in more than fifty countries.

The brand built its reputation on the craft of steel: deep drawn bowls, controlled thicknesses and the PVD finishes of the Aesthetica line, which extend the palette to gold, copper and gun metal. Custom worktops with integrated sink and hob belong to the catalogue since the 1986 Speciali Inox, and the Alessi by Foster project, drawn by Alessandro Mendini, brought the company into the design conversation.
