Design Studio Aris Thinks Out of the Box for Its Kitchen Systems for Polarislife
By Interior Design Staff

Unlike standard rectilinear cabinet runs, Archetipo âis defined by an arc, one of architectureâs archetypal forms,â explains Alberto Corrado, co-principal of design studio Aris with Hani Chaouech and Francesca Zalla. The system for Polarislife has more in common with freestanding furniture than conventional kitchen built-ins. The modular storage units, which can also integrate appliances, fare just as well in the living room, bedroom, or bathroom.

âWe designed a modular interior design system inspired by cupboardsâ
Wood species on offer include oakâoiled, gray, dark, knotted, natural-sawn, or heat-treatedâplus elm or walnut. The curved systemâs natural juxtaposition is a squared-off island perched on matte-lacquered iron legs, its body fabricated from Venetian terrazzo made of Carrara marble dust.
