EXTRA-ORDINARY Materials

The following pages are ARCON’S DESIGN COMPANY treasure. It is intended as a tool not only for the consumer but also for those seeking inspiration in their own design work.

Design since the millennium has witnessed a liberating pluralism, and for the past years, the design community has been in a state of flux, with no one style or trend being dominant. There has been a slow breaking down of the barriers between disciplines, cultures, roles, and skills: this is a period in which there is a place for craft-based, low-tech, individualistic approaches, as well as for mass-produced high-tech.

The concept of ‘’design for all “ introduces trends that have grown steadily in recent years: the increased democratization of design, the rise of superficial styling, and the birth of the design personality steadily in recent years. As we often explain to our clients: materials are the character actors of the projects. In today’s globalized, rootless world, design needs history more than ever.

We can create a new design history at every point level. Remarkable new trend ideas can transform our everyday life, but we must produce only what can improve life, and what can make this world a better place. If you want information about these unique materials do not hesitate to ask.

HOW TO MAKE CHEESY BAKED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS:

Preheat the oven to 375° then lightly grease an 8 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl then add the breadcrumbs to a second shallow bowl. Cut the chicken into about 1 1/2″ size pieces and slice the mushrooms.

Dip the chicken into the eggs then roll them in the breadcrumbs to completely coat and transfer to wax paper. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of butter to a large skillet over medium heat then drop in the sliced mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the mushrooms are golden. In the same skillet over medium heat, pour in the wine and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the liquid is reduced. Be sure to scrape up any brown bits – they’re extra flavor!

Pour the liquid evenly over the cheesy chicken then bake uncovered for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on the exact size of the chicken pieces.

Optional: garnish with fresh parsley then serve right away.
