Bruce Colucci, CKD
The inspiration behind Le Gourmet Kitchen and its design philosophy comes from Bruce Colucci’s creative nature and his pure love of cooking.  An enthusiastic cook for more than 20 years, Bruce knows firsthand what constitutes good design in the kitchen.  As he often says, “A kitchen is like a painting.  I’m the artist; the kitchen to be designed a blank canvas.  With the ideal blend of client collaboration, creative inspiration and balance of elements a functional art piece can be created.”
 
Form and function must work together like the spices in a fine pasta sauce.  Smooth and pleasing with the right hint of boldness. That’s Bruce.  Always on the run.  Always creating.  Always serving his clients with passion. 
 
Drawing from the experience and knowledge he has gained from his studies and travel across the globe, Bruce’s insights and direction are invaluable to the Le Gourmet Kitchen, Ltd. team and clients.  A Certified Kitchen Designer, Bruce studied architecture in New York, worked on design projects in Europe, spent several years at the renowned Pacific Design Center, and as the manager of the Poggenpohl Beverly Hills showroom.  He also served the National Kitchen and Bath Association as a Vice President of Programs for the Southern California Chapter.
 
When his creative talents are at rest, Bruce enjoys quality time with his wife, children and friends.  He likes to plan his next social event, sip good-tasting wine or read a book.  He also studies martial arts because its demand for mental focus and physical condition.  In short, you can sum up Bruce’s philosophy as La Dolce Vita!
