The exterior as a starting point for contemporary design
Aera's design stems from the inherent complexity of the external environment, where factors such as humidity, salinity, and temperature variations influence the design. The external environment shapes the design from the outset , defining construction decisions, materials, and the overall durability of the structure.
This approach allows the system to adapt to different lifestyles and locations, from urban terraces to gardens or seaside settings. This adaptability defines its character , reinforcing the idea of the kitchen as a coherent extension of the domestic space.
Construction system and material precision in the outdoor kitchen
One of Aera's most distinctive features is its double-sided system in the drawers. The floating outer panel, separated by spacers, promotes heat dissipation and the drainage of water and dust, improving the overall performance under demanding conditions. The construction system becomes the central focus of the project , seamlessly integrating technology and design.
The structure, made entirely of stainless steel and completely enclosed, reduces water and particle infiltration. The use of stainless steel guarantees resistance in demanding environments , with solutions such as AISI 316 for marine environments or lacquered finishes in AISI 304 with a micro-granulated texture.
Flexible configuration and everyday use in the outdoor kitchen
The system is complemented by a variety of finishes and combinations. Countertops in stainless steel or ceramic and fronts in steel, stoneware, lacquered finishes, or eco-resin allow the composition to be tailored to each project. The open configuration enables multiple combinations , reinforcing Aera's flexible nature.
Functionally, the modules integrate washing, preparation, and cooking areas with specific solutions for outdoor use. This integration of functions extends the use of the kitchen outdoors , incorporating equipped channels, sinks, and cooking modules such as induction, grill, or teppanyaki.
