A beautifully planned kitchen should be as satisfying to use as it is to look at. With the new ATOLL kitchen island and ECO-DRINKING TAP WATER faucet range, CEA Design brings its approach to materials, form and everyday functionality into a broader kitchen setting.
For homeowners, architects and interior designers exploring luxury Italian kitchen design, these collections offer an opportunity to consider the island and water system together from the beginning.
Meet ATOLL by MAO Architects
Designed by MAO Architects, ATOLL is a polished steel kitchen island defined by a soft, continuous curve. Its name and shape draw on the natural boundary between land and water found in an atoll.
The design combines polished steel, wood and natural stone. Reflective metal brings light into the composition, while the other materials add warmth and visual depth. In an open kitchen, we see that balance as an appealing way to give the island a sculptural presence within the living space.
CEA’s current ATOLL offerings include modular AISI 316L stainless steel configurations. Selecting an island starts with understanding its relationship to the room: the circulation around it, the surrounding cabinetry and the activities it will support. Bring your floor plan to the conversation early so the design can develop around those practical needs.
About MAO Architects
ATOLL was designed by MAO Architects—Milanese Architects Office—the Italian architecture and interior design studio founded by Erich Milanese. Working across residential, hospitality and retail projects, the studio emphasizes the relationship between architecture, materials and the surrounding landscape. Its portfolio includes CEA’s Moscow showroom and Borgo Taurino, a historic rural property transformed into a hospitality retreat in Italy’s Valdobbiadene region. That sensitivity to setting carries into ATOLL, whose continuous curve takes inspiration from the meeting of land and water, bringing an architectural perspective to the kitchen island.
A natural setting for CEA kitchen faucets
The connection between ATOLL and CEA’s water systems is part of the design concept itself. CEA developed the island to provide a setting consistent with its kitchen tapware and the microfiltration functions introduced in its newer faucets.
That makes ATOLL and ECO-DRINKING TAP WATER a compelling shared story: the island shapes the kitchen’s central workspace, while the tap system addresses how water is used throughout the day. For a project, the exact island, faucet and equipment combination should be reviewed together.
ECO DRINKING TAP WATER adds everyday convenience
CEA ECO-DRINKING TAP WATER, also known as ETW, is a range of multifunction kitchen taps crafted from AISI 316L stainless steel. Depending on the selected faucet and compatible equipment, available functions include filtered still water, chilled sparkling water, boiling water and mixed-temperature water.
Think about the routines you want your kitchen to support. Filling a reusable bottle, preparing tea and serving sparkling water each suggest different priorities. Defining those priorities first helps guide the selection of the appropriate tap and equipment package.
CEA offers single-hole and multi-hole arrangements across the range, with satin, polished and selected special finishes. Review the specific model’s options alongside the island materials and surrounding kitchen finishes.
Plan the island and water system together
When considering ATOLL with an ETW system, review the full proposed specification before ordering. Your design and installation teams should coordinate the sink and tap positions, equipment space, electrical and plumbing connections, and access for maintenance.
Our team can help you explore the selections and review current U.S. project options. Confirming the exact package early gives everyone a clearer basis for planning the installation and discussing pricing.
