Arrital Living

Furniture that connects the way you live – Arrital Living extends considered Italian design beyond the kitchen, creating storage, shelving and furniture that bring greater continuity to the home.

Designed Beyond the Kitchen

Arrital Living is a collection of architectural furniture designed for the spaces that surround the kitchen. Storage, shelving, media furniture and room-dividing elements can be combined to create a more considered relationship between cooking, dining and living areas.

The collection reflects Arrital’s approach to contemporary Italian design: precise proportions, refined materials and the flexibility to respond to different homes and ways of living.

At Hobson’s Choice, we interpret the collection as part of the wider interior rather than treating it as a set of individual products. We consider how furniture can improve the architecture of a room, create clearer connections between spaces and bring greater order to everyday life.

The result is not simply a kitchen with matching furniture. It is a home that feels more resolved.

Designed Around the Whole Room

Every home presents a different architectural challenge. Some spaces need stronger connections; others benefit from greater definition, more storage or a clearer focal point.

Coordinated Arrital cabinetry and finishes extending through the living space

Connect spaces

Use coordinated finishes, proportions and architectural lines to create continuity between the kitchen, dining room and living areas.

Create definition

Use open shelving, tall cabinetry or double-sided furniture to distinguish one area from another without enclosing the space.

Introduce order

Combine concealed storage with carefully positioned open elements so that practical items are accommodated without making the room feel overly fitted.

A Consistent Material Language

Arrital Living shares the materials, colours and detailing available across the wider Arrital collection. Timber, lacquer, glass, metal and textured finishes can be used to create close continuity with the kitchen or to introduce a deliberate contrast.

This flexibility allows each composition to respond to the character of the property. The furniture can feel understated and architectural, provide a warmer layer of texture, or become a distinctive feature within the room.

Our role is to edit these choices carefully, ensuring that the combination of materials feels appropriate to the space rather than simply coordinated.

Can Arrital Living furniture be used without an Arrital kitchen?

Yes. Arrital Living can form part of a wider kitchen project, but it can also be used independently to create furniture for dining rooms, lounges, home offices and other living areas. This makes it suitable both for open-plan spaces and for individual rooms elsewhere in the home.

What types of furniture are available within Arrital Living?

Arrital Living can include storage cabinetry, open shelving, display furniture, media units and room-dividing elements. Individual pieces can be used on their own or combined into larger arrangements designed around the way a room needs to function.

Can Arrital Living be used to divide an open-plan room?

Yes. Open shelving and other furniture elements can be used to introduce definition between different activities without necessarily creating a solid wall. This can help separate cooking, dining, working or relaxing areas while maintaining visual connection and natural light.

Can Arrital Living furniture coordinate with an Arrital kitchen?

Yes. One of the main benefits of the collection is the ability to create a consistent relationship between kitchen and living areas. Furniture, proportions and finishes can be considered together so adjoining spaces feel connected rather than designed as separate rooms.

Which rooms can Arrital Living furniture be designed for?

Arrital Living is particularly suited to lounges, dining areas and open-plan kitchen and living spaces, but its storage and shelving elements can also be used in working areas and other parts of the home. The aim is to develop furniture around the architecture and intended use of each space.

Why choose Arrital Living rather than separate pieces of freestanding furniture?

Arrital Living allows storage, display and media furniture to be considered as part of the room itself. Rather than adding unrelated pieces afterwards, the furniture can be planned around the architecture, sightlines and adjoining spaces, creating greater visual continuity and a more ordered overall interior.
