NAUTILA - From place for sharing to functional and multi-tasking micro-architecture. Nautila by Arrital is the combination of performance, design and innovation.The new kitchen system, designed by the architect Franco Driusso, is inspired by a noble example of “oceanic architecture”: the shell of the Nautilus, whose internal chamber structure is recognised as one of the best-known forms of golden ratio, mathematical language of beauty. The core of the collection is the door characterized by a ribbed aluminium support (16-mm thick), a material renowned for its technical properties which adds high performance in terms of stability and lightness. Eye-catching and elegant, thanks to the geometrically perfect alternation of solid and empty spaces, the new overhead system is provided with integrated LED lighting and can store kitchen utensils and support the main service accessories, such as shelves and electrical sockets, while an integrated transparent glass element protects the cooking area.The collection is completed by the new Sipario storage system with four concealed doors, which can be configured internally in different versions, including the solution with integrated extraction.
