Manufacturer: Fantin
Designer: Salvatore Indriolo, 2018
The Fantin Frame Kitchen Unit (188cm, 2 Door 2 Drawer) combines the award-winning Frame aesthetic with practical, high-capacity drawer storage — making it equally at home as a kitchen base unit, utility storage, or a striking designer sideboard. The two soft-close drawers offer generous, accessible storage for kitchen essentials, cutlery or everyday items, while the two doors conceal further storage space, to which optional shelves can be added.
Designed by Salvatore Indriolo and winner of the Archiproducts Design Awards 2018 (Kitchen category), Frame is built around an ultra-thin square tube frame available in over 60 powder-coat colours — from subtle neutrals to bold, high-impact tones. Fantin has been working with metal since 1968, with the entire production cycle carried out in-house at their factory in Italy.
Frame: 35 × 35mm square tubes. Concealed adjustable feet.
Doors: Inset in frame, double layer bent sheet metal, 20mm thick. Soft-close dampening hinges. 95° opening.
Drawers: Fronts inset in frame, double layer bent sheet metal, 20mm thick. Fitted with Hettich runners with built-in stabilisation and soft-close system. Capacity: 40kg per drawer. The unit comes with x2 deep drawers, plus an additional hidden cutlery drawer.
Sides & Bases: Inset in frame, bent sheet metal with filled sides.
Inside Shelves: Bent sheet metal - not included in price. A solid back panel is available as an optional extra for use as a freestanding unit or sideboard.
Top: Choice of no top (select your own), a 4mm Barazza AISI 304 stainless steel top in Satin, Matt or Vintage finish (with exclusive Barazza manual processing), or a powder-coated metal top to match the frame (please note the powder-coated steel top is not food safe and should not be used for food preparation). A 12mm ceramic stoneware top in 3 colours is also available on request.
Dimensions: 1875mm (L) × 670mm (D) × 890-893-894-902mm (H) (dependent on top)
Assembly: Supplied ready assembled; tops fitted separately. Please ensure access to the final room of installation can accommodate the assembled unit.
Care: Clean regularly with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of non-abrasive detergent. Avoid abrasive sponges, steel wool, acetone, ammonia, and alcohol. Dry spills promptly to prevent deposits forming. Full Barazza care instructions available here.
Please note that stainless steel scratches easily and will patinate over time — scratches are initially most visible on the Satin finish.
Frame Kitchen won the Archiproducts Design Awards 2018 in the Kitchen category, selected by an international jury for its concept, aesthetics, functionality and operation.
