esigned by Italian Architect Mario Bellini, whose works are on permanent display in The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Onfalos is not only design at its best, but it’s also extremely practical. Onfalos’ incorporates a circular stainless steel shape with a unique thermostatically controlled 355 grade stainless steel hot plate coated with trivalent hard chromium. The glass-like smooth surface heats up quickly maintaining an even and consistent heat. Minimal oil is required during the cooking process and the colour and flavour of the food it produces is just superb’. Extremely versatile: the perfect compromise between productivity and handiness, the possibility of setting two different temperatures on the plate allows for the simultaneous preparation of foods which require different cooking, or the use of only one side, thereby saving gas. Onfalos is very sturdy thanks to the thickness of the steel used, it can be moved around easily thanks to three strong pirouetting wheels and a comfortable guide.
The details makes it easy and handy to move Onfalos from one place to another: on the terrace, in the garden, beside the pool, in the kitchen, in the restaurant dining room etc. Although Onfalos is very sturdy thanks to the thickness of the steel used, it can be moved around easily thanks to three strong pirouetting wheels and a comfortable guide. This detail makes it easy and handy to move Onfalos from one place to another : on the terrace, in the garden, beside the pool, in the kitchen, in the restaurant dining room. A fundamental prerequisite for its mobility is its independence. All one requires is a 5 kg gas tank which is situated in the appropriate case inside the supporting cylinder, in order to use Onfalos anywhere one wishes.
The Bellini Studio has studied a series of accessories which enrich Onfalos and help the cook : from the Tongs to the Spatula right up to the practical Cover which turns into a tray as well as the Scraper for cleaning. Finally to allow Onfalos to flourish, Petals have been crated, special modular supporting bases which add a touch of colour and practicality to the main structure of Onfalos. The only think we don’t like in Onfalos is the very high price. Too high to become a popular product. But maybe that is a question of positioning… a decision of Smartech Italia Company to work only with High-End society ? Who knows… However this product is really cool.
