SOLARIA Kitchen outdoor
Solaria expands the vision of traditional "living" by going beyond physical boundaries. Arrital's first outdoor kitchen is born. A system inspired by the desire to deliver top-tier performance in outdoor settings, combining premium technical materials with a distinctive and recognisable design.
The objective was to create a product genuinely engineered to withstand the weather conditions while ensuring maximum durability and reliability.
To certify the importance of the project both the invention patent and the registration of this new kitchen model have been filed.
The new Solaria Outdoor Kitchen stands out for its:
• Modular frame in AISI 316 steel.
• Frame with height-adjustable structure, which serves as a support for accessories such as a supplementary side table or parasol lamp.
• Integrated drainage system, with perforated steel.
• Innovative technical finishes, with steel, porcelain stoneware, heat-treated ashwood, and an exclusive UV-resistant wrapping system on the doors.
• Ergonomics and modularity.
Solaria is available in two main configurations:
• Freestanding single kitchen unit, for terraces.
• Linear wall kitchen, for compact spaces.

Bio
"Complex Simplicity" is the oxymoron that describes the stylistic figure and the creative process that guides its trait. His long creative path has been directed to transform this dualism into a harmonious balance with which to shape objects and spaces.
Architect with a master’s degree in industrial design, he is active in the Italian design scene through this peculiar vision oriented to make every product functional and immediate in use, with a clean and precise visual sign, using the highest degree of technology and innovation.
