More than a project, a true avant-garde in the field of domestic design: Aria represents the new concept resulting from the now more than twenty-year collaboration between Pininfarina and Snaidero. The result is Pure Innovation. In stylistic research, thanks to the soft and dynamic lines and in technological innovation, which has applied technologies from the nautical and automotive sectors to the kitchen. The inspiration for the new Aria kitchen comes from the observation of nature: the form that becomes perfect because it is shaped by function. Thus was born the main structure, inspired by a wing profile, with a fast, dynamic line, aimed at the future. A body that originates in the lower part of the central nucleus to support it, then pushes upwards to house the lower support surface and shelves. Finally, it develops parallel to the work surface to end in an eye of light, a real Sun that illuminates and warms Aria. The central structure therefore becomes an icon that gives a strong and unique personality to the project. It is made of carbon fiber and for this reason it is characterized by high mechanical resistance while maintaining excellent lightness. The aesthetic preciousness is the result of a special painting that uses copper in a mixture and is completed with a particular final finish made by hand to strengthen the material impact of the element. Cutting-edge technology therefore, combined with skilful craftsmanship.
High technology also present in the kitchen doors treated with a special Polysil coating based on nano-molecules which gives a cold and velvety tactile effect and, at the same time, guarantees exceptional performance: anti-scratch, anti-dirt and anti-fingerprint. This technology, applied for the first time in the kitchen world, derives from the nautical world. Aria also incorporates the Invisible Line patent, a special quartz process that allows the creation of a large top without visible joints.
Finally, light is the real protagonist of the project. The ring of the lamp that overlooks the operating area - made with an innovative 3D printing technology - incorporates a low energy consumption LED lighting system capable of regulating both the intensity of the light and its temperature according to needs operational. Thanks to the correct regulation of the light, the kitchen is transformed into a place that gives well-being and comfort.
“Aria is for me the perfect synthesis of the bond between Snaidero and Pininfarina” says Paolo Pininfarina, Chairman of the Group. “A mix of cutting-edge design and technology, aesthetics and functionality, innovation and domestic warmth. In the purest Italian style. Another surprising creation, a new icon of our collaboration.”
"For 70 years, the Product has represented our true vocation, I would say the central element of the corporate DNA" says Edi Snaidero, President of Snaidero. “The Aria project created with our historical partner Pininfarina represents for us the maximum expression of aesthetic, material and design research in the domestic field. A kitchen that speaks to the future with a positive outlook: innovative, technological and surprising.”
