“The home becomes a project. The project becomes an experience.” This concept underpins Arrital’s new vision, presented during Milan Design Week at its spacious showroom on Corso Europa 22. Together with architect Franco Driusso, the company develops an idea of the home as a harmonious ecosystem of materials, functions, and proportions: a space where kitchen and living areas flow seamlessly together, creating a way of living that is coherent, functional, and above all emotional. While the kitchen remains the beating heart of the domestic system and its rituals – ever more architectural in both aesthetics and meaning – the living area represents its natural extension through the Feeling Home system.
At the center of this evolution is the Ak_Project kitchen, enhanced with new modularity and functions, as well as an even more essential expression based on the principle of reduction. Handles disappear, corners are defined at 45°, while finishes in porcelain stoneware and MDi, together with integrated backlighting, enhance the depth of surfaces. The result is a system defined by pure volumes and continuous surfaces, capable of organizing space with extreme precision.

Further confirming its design-driven approach is the introduction of the Lift pull-out system, which adds an invisible functionality: it optimizes blind corners and makes otherwise hard-to-reach spaces accessible. “In this evolution, storage takes on a new role,” the company explains. “No longer just a function, but an element that helps shape space. It organizes, but above all connects environments.”
Consistent with this approach is the Planar boiserie, expanded in its compositional possibilities. The new finishes, made in porcelain stoneware and MDi Inalco, reinterpret the use of large XXL slabs through a modular, demountable, and reusable solution. This moves beyond the concept of permanent cladding, introducing flexible configurations that can adapt over time.

Surfaces are no longer just a backdrop, but an active part of the interior atmosphere. Planar takes on a central role in both kitchen and living design, integrating with the Pass System: a design threshold that defines transitions between spaces, encouraging visual and functional continuity. Beyond its role as a simple door, this element is designed to accommodate everyday objects, creating a new functional area: shelves and niches alternate in a dynamic composition, with installation options with or without an overhead extension, and doors in GEM glass or solid finishes.

In Arrital’s vision, every proposal becomes an opportunity to generate relationships: between people, spaces, and functions. An ideal fully expressed in Feeling Home, where the design language extends into the living area, shaping a new domestic architecture in which design interprets and tells the story of those who inhabit it.
