People, Paces and Plans
Arrital
listening architecture
to evolve offerings.
Over its 45 years, Arrital has come to understand the market well. Before acting, it is always best to listen and observe, finding the power and meaning even in the subtle signs of innovation, giving design a much broader role, going into the realm of relationships and service, beyond mere style. Arrital’s ability to look further ahead with fresh eyes and be on the side of people inverts the company’s paradigm, its brand experiences, and its products on the market. Arrital sees its “dynamic identity” as a path of development that involves the entire ecosystem, forming its image and store based on new meanings. “People Places and Plans” is the lens through which Arrital understands these personal, authentic design experiences. Ultimately, our homes, beyond ourselves, express our personalities everywhere in the world. Arrital is, in this sense, a “lifestyle symbol” set between the image and product, giving the chance to satisfy different target markets while firmly establishing its genetic heritage and style realm, staking out a clear, exact market position. Identity ultimately only exists when there is diversity. Being Arrital means always believing in a global approach to the market from the perspective of the products as well as that of plans.
People are those who consider Arital the right brand for their concept of design in the kitchen. Their lifestyles are made up of individual aesthetics, desires, and visual cultures, as well as specific functional and social needs. The Places are found around the world where people live who have different cultures and styles but love Italian-made design. These are places of contemporary architecture and local aesthetics. Plans are the houses and apartments that become “Arrital habitats” of excellent quality. They are flexible places for living and planning that are open to desires and preferences. Every person wants a house that makes them feel at home. Everyone wants a place that reflects their needs and style and makes room for their dreams as well as everyday lives. Kitchens and living rooms are the rooms that fulfill the dual tasks of being an intimate, protective nest as well as a stage for entertaining guests, places open to the social sphere. Their practical functions are not separate from expressing their identities through a powerful aesthetic aspect, as representations of the style and personality of those who live in a home. Every space, with the limits and opportunities part of its structural elements, needs a plan to bring out its greatest potential. And it needs a design that gives tangible form to cutting-edge ideas. What Arrital has to offer becomes a system and platform of products and plans.
Ak_Project and Feeling Home are two excellent representatives of Arrital’s strategy of observation. Nautila, Ak_04, AkB_08, and Ak_07 are also iconic Arrital collections that respond to and bolster an eclectic, daring array of personalities and sophistication. Arrital turns products into stories and invites you to cross the threshold into your own world, one that, at long last, represents you because made from carefully considered choices. There is a place, there is a plan, and there are people who wanted this space to be just as they always wished. In accord with who they are and how they live, wherever and however they imagine themselves.
Arrital’s Ak_Project system expands and evolves, conceived without design limits to accommodate every style and personality, in keeping with contemporary lifestyles.

“Living at home” is probably the most commonly shared trend in recent years. We have learned to reclaim the value, routines and experiences, both intimate and convivial, that it has to offer. The home has become a real refuge in which to return, rediscover oneself and take care of oneself, the personality of the occupier. It is this renewed identity of the domestic dimension that Arrital has made its own and then translated into a new system with endless potential and design expressions, to meet the equally infinite variety of needs, styles and individualities. Collaborating closely with the designer Franco Driusso, Arrital has updated and extended Ak_Project, the company’s best seller since its launch in 2017.
Ak_Project su basamento Alu_Up
Conceived as a complete kitchen system, Ak_ Project now opens up to even greater modularity and functionality, with the sole aim of satisfying the every wish of retailers, designers, architects and customers via a single solution with unlimited possibilities in terms of composition, design and style. Taking inspiration directly from contemporary living – fluid, dynamic, multifunctional – the Ak_Project system finds first of all a perfect extension in the living area, thanks also to the integration with the Feeling Home collections (a brand of Arrital designed for world of living). The system thus extends from the kitchen space to the living room in harmonious aesthetic continuity, through multiple storage elements and a range of architectural elements. This “ecosystem” of furniture, so varied, rich and accurate in detail, has been narrated by the company in the new catalogue through eleven settings, different in type of composition and style, but for this reason extremely representative of the system’s evolutionary capacity.
Hybrid spaces,
fluid emotions.
Limitless, organic, flexible and personalised. This is the vocabulary that gives form to the Feeling Home collection by Arrital, conceived to transform the living area into a theatre of wellbeing, emotions and style. Designed by architect Franco Driusso, Feeling Home is an extensive and articulated system for the living room that can be integrated with kitchen collections from the brand in such as way as to generate a complete furnishing solution for the living area, characterised by total aesthetic continuity and a harmony of language. The approach “by design” responds to the desires of private individuals and professionals: Feeling Home in fact demonstrates great compositional capacity in terms of solutions, modules, accessories as well as materials and finishes.
This domestic “architecture” thus enhances the space in which it is placed while at the same time accommodating the personality of the inhabitant. Spaces thus become dynamic, shared, open and filled with even more feeling because they are tailored to tastes and needs that are different and individual each time. An expressive collection that has been illustrated in the new catalogue through eight different settings. There are many new features that further extend the proposal such as a lavish range of accessories that can be added to the living elements of the Arrital kitchen.
