For years, integrating filtered water at home usually meant accepting something quite common: adding a small auxiliary tap next to the main one. It seemed like a logical solution. Until kitchens started to evolve.
Designing an outdoor kitchen goes far beyond placing a barbecue in the garden or installing a few pieces of furniture outside.
Open-plan kitchens have been a major trend for years. Spacious layouts, continuity with the living room, central islands… It is easy to understand why they work so well visually.
For years, ice has been handled in a simple way: trays in the freezer or the occasional bag of ice. In many cases, that is still enough, so integrating an ice maker is not something that everyone necessarily needs to do.
For years, recirculation was seen as a secondary alternative. The solution for homes without an external duct system or for renovations where there simply was no other option.
There are design decisions that make more sense over time. They are not only meant to stand out, but to improve the way a product is used, and Vita Nua was born from that idea.

There’s something curious about ice: you only think about it when it’s missing.
