A kitchen system with no limits, designed around peoples’ lifestyle, perfectly integrated with the living area. In 2024, Arrital focuses on updating and expanding its Ak_Project, a system that revolutionises the concept of the kitchen, giving architects and designers access to a versatile, smart and dynamic design platform.
Ak_Project, launched in 2017 as a complete kitchen system designed to continually evolve and cater to varying market needs, now broadens its reach even further.
Every person wants a home that reflects their needs and lifestyle, accommodating both their dreams and daily routine. The kitchen and living area are key spaces that play a twofold role: on one hand, an intimate refuge and on the other, the perfect setting for pleasant socialising. These primarily functional spaces must also convey a strong identity through aesthetic qualities that faithfully represent the style and personality of their residents.
Ak_Project, designed to have no limits and inspired by each person’s way of life, addresses new design challenges in a range of contexts differing in setting, style and size, demonstrating its versatility. Ak_Project stands out in every setting, tapping into the room’s potential and satisfying the needs of both clients and designers, becoming the leading element in the spaces.
The 2024 Concept
Ak_Project is a “project” developed by looking at things from the perspective of end users and designers. Every Ak_Project kitchen merges with the living area, expressing a range of different styles within the same room. Approaching the new Ak_Project and Feeling Home collections – two Arrital brands dedicated to home living – as a “Project”, means looking at the world through the eyes of people, understanding where and how they live, interpreting their personalities and desires.
But it also means offering retailers, designers, architects and end users a multifaceted and multi-channel range, an interpretive platform of eclectic styles, where products become notes to be interpreted in harmony with each person’s tastes and lifestyle, remaining true to the brand’s identity and Arrital’s style.
The new catalogue Ak_Project addressed the challenge of catering to a range of different tastes and styles while maintaining a distinct signature look that unmistakeably defined the brand’s identity. The system is designed to have a wide range of appeal, adapting to different personal styles, places in the world, architectural designs and living spaces.
The new Ak_Project presents a variety of sensory stimuli, featuring 11 different settings and styles in the new catalogue. Settings and styles that adapt to a range of different solutions, arousing emotions while also offering technology and design.
Arrital focuses on the proposed compositions, such as the Boiserie Planar, Divider System modules and the Pass System door (in glass). The Sipario storage unit gracefully conceals the preparation area and offers a vast selection of internal configurations. Several characteristics worth highlighting as “gems” include the Up-Down accessory (providing easy access to objects in the top part of wall units) and the pull-out deep drawer with waste bin (featuring a mechanical system with automatic lid opening).
One particularly unique element is the Divider System with Alu-Table, consisting of a sliding table that connects two otherwise distinct environments. Lastly, the temperature-controlled drawer for the optimal storage of 5 bottles.
Arrital also presents a selection of materials with a reeded effect, such as RIGA finishes, available in brushed Oak wood and Sand lacquered, or matt PET called Tecnolineo, but also the reeded version of Bronze glass called Vetro Lineo, highlighting the brand’s ongoing commitment to research and innovation. The updated Ak_Project represents a step forward in design, focusing on improving people’s comfort and well-being by carefully examining a variety of contexts.Arrital_Ak_Project
