About Raum Stolní gril

Raum je stolní gril navržený pro venkovní vaření. Gril je vyroben z vysoce kvalitní nerezové oceli, řezané CNC laserem a tvarované ohýbáním na ohraňovacím lisu. Konstrukce s dvojitým pláštěm tvoří zakřivenou základnu, která vede vzduch bočními průduchy a chrání povrch pod grilem před teplem. Dřevěné uhlí se vkládá do vnitřní komory a teplo se rovnoměrně šíří po grilovacím roštu. Čtyřdílný modulární systém se sestavuje bez nářadí a spojovacích prvků a lze jej rozebrat pro čištění. Laserem svařované spoje a saténová povrchová úprava zajišťují dlouhou životnost.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Raum is a manifestation of structural purity, crafted from precision-cut stainless steel. It distinguishes itself through a dual-shell architecture: a curved, monolithic base that optimizes airflow while acting as a thermal shield for surfaces. Eschewing conventional fasteners, its modular components allow for tool-free assembly and effortless maintenance. Raum transforms the utilitarian grill into a sculptural centerpiece, balancing industrial durability with sophisticated elegance.
Dimensions & Packaging: Dimensions: 500 mm (W) x 270 mm (D) x 150 mm (H). Material: High-grade AISI 304 Stainless Steel (EN 1.4301). Material Gauge: 2.0 mm precision sheet metal. Architecture: Dual-shell thermal-break configuration with integrated CNC-perforated aeration geometry. Components: 4-part modular system (chassis, internal combustion chamber, and laser-cut cooking grate). Weight: Approx. 5.2 kg. Packaging: Flat-pack optimized volumetric design for logistics efficiency. Finish: Industrial satin.

Production Technology: Raum is engineered using high-grade stainless steel, utilizing CNC laser cutting for micron-level dimensional accuracy. The primary chassis is formed through cold rolling and CNC press brake bending, achieving structural rigidity and the signature "monolithic fluidity" without internal skeletons. Assembly features precision laser welding for seamless, invisible joins. The modular components are finished with a uniform grain to enhance corrosion resistance and thermal longevity.
Design Challenge: The core challenge was synthesizing sculptural "monolithic fluidity" with rigorous thermal safety. Developing a single-material chassis that maintains a cool-touch exterior required complex heat-transfer analysis. Externally, navigating the precision bending limits of 2.0mm stainless steel was a significant manufacturing hurdle. Internally, the goal was to counter the social shift toward disposable tools. The solution—a dual-shell architecture—overcame these technical constraints to deliver a permanent, high-performance design.
Research: This project utilized Experimental Design Research to optimize portable combustion. The objective was to eliminate the structural failures of traditional grills while maximizing heat efficiency. Using Airflow Dynamics Simulations (CFD) and physical metal-forming experiments, we tested various curvatures on stainless steel. Research involved user-interaction trials with outdoor enthusiasts to analyze thermal safety. Results yielded a dual-shell geometry that reduces coal consumption by 20% and ensures a stable, cool-touch base. This research advances sustainable, long-life product design, offering a durable alternative to disposable outdoor equipment while streamlining manufacturing logistics through modularity.
Inspiration: The inspiration for Raum—the German word for space—stems from a desire to harmonize minimalist aesthetics with the pragmatic demands of functional outdoor cooking. Influenced by the structural honesty of industrial architecture and the precision of machined components, the design centers on the concept of "monolithic fluidity." This approach creates a sense of structural permanence and durability while maintaining a light, clean-lined footprint ideal for contemporary urban living.
The primary motive was to simplify the grilling experience through modularity and efficiency, utilizing a form informed by rigorous research into airflow dynamics and heat distribution to ensure total visual and performance coherence. By synthesizing the raw utility of the hearth with the refined finish of high-end hardware, Raum elevates the "ritual of the flame," successfully bridging the architectural gap between rugged outdoor equipment and the refined elegance of the dining table.
Project Duration: The Raum project was conceptualized and developed in Ankara, Turkey. The design phase commenced in May 2025, followed by intensive prototyping and material testing. The project reached its final manufacturing and realization stage in July 2025. This three-month cycle encompassed everything from initial airflow simulations to the final precision-machined prototype, representing a streamlined bridge between contemporary Turkish industrial design and high-end manufacturing.
Operation Flow: Using Raum is an intuitive ritual: simply slide the modular pieces together and place charcoal in the inner chamber. The curved body is naturally designed to funnel air through side vents, keeping the heat consistent and intense without constant maintenance. Whether searing meats or vegetables, the heat radiates uniformly for superior culinary results. Once finished, the grill disassembles instantly for effortless cleaning, turning a rugged task into a smooth social experience.
