Alberto Colonello

Alberto Colonello

Born in Milan in 1976, Colonello is a designer who is associated to an experimental concept of design being the product of technological innovation. After graduating in Interior Design and completing his Masters, Colonello began his career in 1998 and started gaining recognition in various international competitions such as Cevisama, Young &Design and Intérieur. In 2002 and 2003 he presented his furniture collection at the Salone Satellite in Milan.
In 2006, Colonello designed the coat hook Ambrogio for Moco, a division of Minotti italia Trading and was invited to exhibit his works at the “Idee” show at East & Studios in Milan. In the same year Colonello was selected, at the Milan Triennale, as a young designer with promise to take part in the “The New Italian Design” exhibition.
In 2007 Colonello’s Single kitchen for Boffi was shown at the “Avverati” exhibition during the Milan Furniture Fair and his most recent projects include an art gallery in Milan and some residences in Como and Milan.
For Boffi, he designed in 2004 the Single kitchen (and in 2005 this mono-block kitchen had been awarded as Best Kitchen for small spaces in Wallpaper* magazine and included in the ADI Design Index 2005).; in 2008 he designed the On/Off Kitchen Block and in 2014 the On/Off ST Kitchen Block.
 
ON-OFF for Boffi
The ON-OFF kitchen is now proposed with a more flexible design.
The unique worktop area concept is always concealed by folding doors, which open upwards electronically. The design can be completed using floor-mounted tall modular units and with other standard kitchen units.

Arrital: Kitchen Culture
 

THOUGHT

The kitchen is not just a place where you eat food. It is a space where your rituals unfold. The ritual of living. It is K (itchen) Culture.
 
A project designed to welcome taste experiences as well as emotions and beauty. High class. Exclusive. The culture of a space designed to be a place of intimacy as well as a place for convivial gatherings.
The culture of humans and their needs.
Of a kitchen with outstanding functional qualities that can also express your personality and desires.
A culture of styles. Because today everyone wishes to design their own space. Re-inventing and transforming it.
In the same way that we used to transform our food millions of years ago.
By cooking,  humans transformed their world.
Cooking was growth, the culture of a better quality of living.
The Kitchen is Kitchen Culture, evolution of the same aim.

“The kitchen becomes a system”, a system that evolves around 5 different types of opening: from the elegant doors with 30° edges to the external lacquered handle featuring the exclusive patented hidden fitting.
5 different solutions which through a wide range of materials give life to various aethetics and feelings. 26 mm thick doors in a variety of finishes: 7 brushed oak veneered, 7 micro cement, 4 textured glass doors, matt and glossy finishes of the Ral scale.

6 colours are available in both finishes.

PROVENZA

Arrital traditional kitchens are first of all the very idea of the kitchen. Strength, precision, functionality and intelligent performances. It’s an idea of materials, colours, shapes and design. An idea of performance as much as style, to make everyday life easier and harmonious. The warm finishes of wooden kitchens, the care for details and the choice of materials to enhance the thicknesses, lines and volumes. Every Arrital proposal is a clear traditional statement satisfying the widest and most demanding requirements thanks to its versatile modules and impressive offer of colours, finishes and accessories. An outstanding offer to minimise the spaces usually not taken advantage of.

The External Green House

The Garden Pod has one big thing working in its favor – it utilizes the external walls of a dwelling rather than clamoring for space indoors. This modular green house is designed so that it can be fitted onto exteriors of a building and can take advantage of the natural energy sources. A handy app allows you to control the setting of the pod and also relays essential information such as which vegetable is ripe enough and how much compost is available.
The Garden Pod transforms organic garbage into compost and even calculates the percentage of nutrients each plant needs. The Pod is capable of growing nano bionic sprouts that develop into fresh vegetables in a short span of 24 hours. The over-ripe vegetables get turned into compost automatically. Interestingly, this concept is one of the short-listed Top 35 entries of the 2014 Electrolux Design Lab competition.
