Manufacturer: Fantin
Designer: Salvatore Indriolo, 2018
The Fantin Frame Outdoor Kitchen Unit (128cm, 2 Door) is a modular outdoor kitchen built entirely from AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel — the same grade used in demanding coastal and saltwater environments. Designed by Salvatore Indriolo and winner of the Archiproducts Design Awards 2018 (Kitchen category), Frame combines a rigorously minimal aesthetic with exceptional material quality and practical versatility.
Fantin has been working with metal since 1968, with the entire production cycle carried out in-house at their factory in Italy. The Frame range — covering modular kitchens, storage units, workbenches and tables — is built around a 35 × 35mm square tube frame with ultra-thin tops, available in over 60 powder-coat colours from subtle neutrals to bold, high-impact tones.
Frame: 35 × 35mm square tubes in AISI 316 stainless steel. Concealed adjustable feet.
Top: Choice of no top (select your own), or 6mm AISI 316 Barazza stainless steel filler panel in Satin or Vintage finish (with exclusive Barazza manual processing). A 3mm AISI 316 stainless steel powder-coated to match the frame (Please note that the powder coated steel top is not food safe and so should not be used for food preparation) and a 12mm porcelain stoneware top in 3 colours are also available on request.
Doors: Inset in frame, bent sheet AISI 316 stainless steel, 2mm thick. Powder-coated metal handles. Soft-close stainless steel hinges. 95° opening.
Sides & Bases: Inset in frame, bent sheet stainless steel.
Dimensions: 1275mm (L) × 670mm (D) × 890-893-896-902 mm (H) (dependent on top)
Assembly: Supplied ready assembled; tops fitted separately.
Care: Store under shelter and protect from direct exposure. A protective cover is included with kitchen configurations and available as an optional accessory for workbenches. Clean regularly with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Please note that stainless steel scratches easily and will patinate over time — scratches are initially most visible on the Satin finish. Full Barazza care instructions available here.
For stubborn marks, use a small amount of non-abrasive detergent. Avoid abrasive sponges, steel wool, acetone, ammonia, and alcohol. During winter, store in a dry, enclosed space or clean and dry regularly to prevent condensation.
Frame Kitchen won the Archiproducts Design Awards 2018 in the Kitchen category, selected by an international jury for its concept, aesthetics, functionality and operation.
