Al fresco kitchens
With the desire to blur the boundaries between external and internal spaces come new technologies and design strategies that enable traditionally indoor activities to be taken outside. The kitchen, the heart of a home, can now be open-air. And they are no longer simply limited to a grill and dining furniture; homes are benefitting from fully functional outdoor kitchens that combine beautifully considered design aesthetics with endlessly customisable capabilities. The Abimis outdoor kitchen can be tailored at every level, from accessories and finishes to worktop depth and appliances. The stainless steel composition ensures that the equipment is resistant to changing weather and atmospheric conditions, including saltand chlorine-heavy environments.
Functionality is fundamental to Kettal’s new PH1 Pavilion. The design incorporates movable panels that can be opened or closed to protect fittings, and which can also be used to create worktop areas. Water and electricity connections are installed internally, while the structure can accommodate a ceramic hob, barbecue, fridge and wine cabinet components. “The kitchen conveys a sensation of homeliness, while also being a place that combines the actions of cooking, eating and coming together. This is why we have decided to add this kitchen module to the system,” explain Rosa Aznar and Antonio Navarro.
