OverviewCarlton is Frigomeccanica’s designer bar counter collection inspired by Art Deco. Its soft curves, milled ribbed fronts and integrated lighting are conceived to transform cafés, pastry shops, gelato parlours and cocktail bars into coordinated, high-impact hospitality environments.
Versions and designCarlton is offered in two principal versions:
- Collier: anodised extruded aluminium surrounds (black or gold) with integrated LED lighting, sinuous curved shapes and a milled ribbed front panel.
- Light: a minimalist variant with a taller ribbed front panel and only two end surrounds for a cleaner aesthetic.
Customization possibilitiesExtensive customization is available to create a distinctive identity:
- Front cladding: matt or glossy lacquered finishes, natural walnut (Noce) or porcelain stoneware.
- Countertops: synthetic marble, engineered quartz or Solid Surface Corian; special/custom materials on request.
Suitable premises and modularityCarlton is a modular, configurable line suitable for bars, coffee shops, pastry shops, ice-cream parlours, delicatessens, gastronomy counters, cocktail bars and bistros. Modules can integrate pastry display cases, “pozzetti” ice-cream wells and refrigerated or heated drop-in units to combine cold, hot and neutral display within a single coordinated counter.
FinishesThe milled ribbed front panel is available in matt or glossy lacquer (Bianco Pearl, Nero Obsidian, Antracite Fumo, Rosa Sapphire, Rosa Cult, Moka, Verde Acqua, Azzurro Mare, Blu Oceano) or in natural walnut (Noce). A smooth porcelain stoneware option (except on rounded corners) is available in Extra White, Onice Pink, Blu Brasil, Onice Green and Nero Ghibli.
Countertop and bar back finishesCountertops: synthetic marble (Palladio Griso, Doge), engineered quartz (Polar White, Nero Notte Lucido, Nero Anticato, Vittoria White, Mistral, Poesia, Garbino) and Solid Surface Corian (Glacier Ice, Bisque, Nero); bespoke materials available on request. Bar back cladding is standard in laminate (Bianco, Nero, Statuario, Zebra), with ceramic stoneware optional; the ribbed front panel can be repeated in the bar back for visual continuity.
LightingIntegrated LED lighting is standard in the aluminium surrounds, creating reflected gleams and tonal variations. In the bar back, LED is provided in surrounds and optionally on shelves to enhance product presentation.
Showcases and compatibilityThe Carlton line accepts a range of showcases including Drop-in P100, Evolution and Voilà models in various lengths and in refrigerated, heated and neutral variants. The Evolution P100 family is suitable for pastries, ice-cream, chocolates and hot or neutral foods and can be fitted with display surfaces or internal inserts coordinated with the counter finishes.
Technical and environmental featuresRefrigerated showcases can use low-impact refrigerants such as R290 and CO2, complying with eco-design and eco-labelling standards; many models carry an Energy Efficiency Index (EEI). Optional FrigoConnect 4.0 provides remote connectivity, cloud data, push messaging and automatic HACCP temperature control.
