Swedish design studio Aarke introduces its new sparkling water maker in the form of the Carbonator 3, which is a minimally designed gadget that seamlessly fits into any kitchen. It adds fizz to still water using carbon dioxide gas canisters and the design replicates the look of a traditional espresso machine.
Overall, it has a compact look that is attached to a single column made from stainless steel materials. Additional details include its cordless design and it only needs standard CO2 gas canisters without relying on electricity to function. It can carbonate up to 60 liters of water each and can be refilled at certain specialty stores. Ljung states, "The three-dimensional stainless parts are extremely hard to produce on a bigger scale without compromising quality and precision. The shapes of the Carbonator are pushing metal craftsmanship to its limits."
