“Designing means stripping away the superfluous until only the essential remains. Beauty arises when form, function, and material find an authentic balance. Every object must engage in a dialogue with the space and the people who inhabit it.”
— Gherardo Zanella
Lusso Verde x Binari
A dream and a passion evolve into a project where aesthetics embrace functionality to give shape to the flame. Guided by architect Gherardo Zanella, this vision gives rise to an outdoor kitchen concept that transcends convention, transforming into a true architectural presence. Fire is no longer merely a tool but the heart of the space—an element that furnishes, welcomes, and fosters conviviality.
Each creation is conceived as both a design object and a bespoke solution, designed to engage in a dialogue with its surroundings, materials, and the people who experience it. Form, proportion, and material converge in a balanced design that renders every element unique, crafted to integrate harmoniously into diverse settings—from natural landscapes to contemporary architecture.
A striking outdoor design showpiece
Binari creations are designed to inhabit a space and become part of the everyday experience. Each installation is the result of a dialogue between design, architecture, and landscape, where form and function integrate naturally into diverse settings.
From private residences to hospitality venues, and from panoramic terraces to lush gardens, our pieces become hubs of social interaction and focal points within the environment. Each project tells a unique story of the relationship between material, light, and function, demonstrating the design's ability to adapt while maintaining a strong formal identity.

Lava Stone used on our BBQ
- BRINARI has chosen to subject the Etna lava stone used in its barbecues to in-depth chemical analyses carried out by the reputable FOOD CONTACT CENTER Institute in Pistoia.
The aim is to guarantee the highest level of food safety and peace of mind in use, ensuring that BRINARI lava stone is completely free from harmful chemical substances. - Although there are currently no specific European regulations governing the use of natural stone as a cooking surface, BRINARI has decided to go beyond the applicable standards by providing its customers with scientific certification of the quality and purity of the material.
Geological origin of Etna lava stone
Etna lava stone is an extrusive volcanic rock, formed by the cooling and solidification of lava released during eruptions of Mount Etna in Sicily.
When lava (a mixture of molten minerals, gases and crystals) reaches the Earth's surface, it comes into contact with the air and cools rapidly, solidifying into a compact and hard mass.
In the case of Etna, the chemical composition of the lava is basaltic, meaning that it is rich in:
- iron and magnesium silicates (pyroxenes and olivine),
- feldspars,
- iron and titanium oxides.
This makes the stone very dense, resistant and an excellent conductor of heat.
Its colour ranges from dark grey to black, with possible bluish or metallic shades.
Main physical characteristics
- Resistance to heat and thermal shock: it can withstand temperatures even above 600–800 °C.
- Even heat distribution: once heated, it distributes heat evenly, without creating excessively hot spots.
- Heat retention: it retains heat for a long time, even after the heat source has been switched off.
- Microporous surface: it allows food to release a small amount of moisture during cooking, helping to prevent it from sticking easily.
Culinary use of lava stone
Etna lava stone is highly appreciated as a cooking surface for barbecues, ovens and griddles.
In our case — heated by the embers of a wood fire — the stone acts as a natural cooking plate, capable of cooking food evenly and in a healthy way.
Advantages in cooking:
- Cooking without added fats (ideal for meat, fish, vegetables, bread and pizza).
- Natural flavour: the heat of the stone, combined with the smoke from the wood, gives food an authentic and slightly smoky flavour.
- Easy to clean: after use, allow the stone to cool completely, then clean it with hot water and a brush, avoiding harsh detergents.
- To remove any lingering odours from cooked food (such as fish or meat), sprinkle the surface with lemon juice and gently scrub it with an abrasive sponge.
Practical advice:
Heat the lava stone gradually, using the embers produced by burning wood in the firebox.
Gradual heating is essential to avoid thermal shock, which could compromise the integrity of the cooking plate.
When the stone reaches the ideal temperature (generally between 250 °C and 350 °C), food can be placed directly on the surface and cooked to the desired level.
