WWOO

Outdoor Kitchen Modular Concrete Architectural

WWOO is the Dutch reference for modular concrete outdoor kitchens. Founded by Piet-Jan van den Kommer, the brand pours concrete frames as the structural shell and integrates stainless steel cooking modules — grill, plancha, sink, refrigeration, storage — for permanent outdoor cooking installations that read as architecture rather than as bolt-on appliances. Each WWOO kitchen is configured from a modular system to fit the specific garden, courtyard or terrace. Via della Seta sources WWOO directly from the Netherlands for residential and hospitality projects across the United States, Europe and the Middle East — handling specification, freight, customs and white-glove installation under one contract.

Why specify WWOO for an outdoor kitchen project

WWOO occupies the architectural-monolith end of the outdoor kitchen market. Where Officine Gullo is hand-built brass-and-steel craft and Roshults is modular Scandinavian industrial, WWOO is concrete monolith — poured concrete frames with integrated stainless cooking modules, scaled to function as a permanent landscape feature. The brand fits architectural settings where the outdoor kitchen is meant to be part of the building rather than a furniture object: courtyard installations, walled gardens, urban roof terraces, contemporary modernist residences.

For US specifications the technical advantages are concrete: poured concrete frames are weatherproof, structurally permanent and scale to integrate gas, electrical and water without compromise; stainless steel modules are corrosion-resistant for coastal and pool environments; the modular system configures from a single grill-and-sink unit into full L- or U-shaped cooking environments with refrigeration, prep and storage. WWOO recurs in modernist residential and architectural-led hospitality projects where the design intent calls for permanence and architectural language.

Via della Seta sources WWOO directly from the Netherlands. We coordinate the specification — module configuration, finish, gas, electrical and water requirements — with the WWOO studio, manage ocean freight, US customs clearance and on-site coordination with your contractor. Concrete frames typically ship in modular sections with on-site assembly, since fully-poured monoliths exceed standard freight tolerances; we coordinate the assembly logistics and timing with your construction schedule.

Best WWOO collections by use case

Architectural courtyards & walled gardens

Modular concrete and stainless kitchens

Permanent outdoor cooking installations engineered as part of the architectural setting. Common in modernist residential courtyards, walled gardens and architect-led hospitality projects.

Urban roof terraces

Compact modular configurations

WWOO scales down to single-module grill-and-sink configurations for urban roof terraces and limited-footprint installations.

Pool-deck cooking pavilions

L-shaped and U-shaped configurations

Full outdoor kitchen pavilions with grill, plancha, refrigeration and prep modules — engineered as permanent landscape features adjacent to residential and resort pool decks.

Hospitality & restaurant outdoor kitchens

Architect-led projects

Specified across boutique resort outdoor cooking pavilions and restaurant garden kitchens where the cooking infrastructure is meant to read as part of the architecture.

Collections

Concrete

The signature poured-concrete kitchen — a monolithic frame with integrated stainless modules, built as a permanent garden feature.

Steel

Steel-framed kitchens in deep, architectural colors — a lighter, sharper-edged alternative to the concrete monolith.

Custom

Made-to-measure configurations — grill, plancha, sink, refrigeration and storage modules arranged to the specific site.

Design Your Own

The modular system configured from the ground up — from a single cooking unit to a full L- or U-shaped outdoor kitchen.

Lead times & project planning

Standard lead time

12–18 weeks ex-factory for modular concrete frames and stainless modules

Custom configurations

18–24 weeks for non-standard module integration, custom finishes or large hospitality-scale installations

Pricing tier

High-end. Modular outdoor kitchen configurations typically start in the upper four-figures for compact installations and scale into mid-five figures for full L/U-shaped pavilions.

Care & maintenance

Concrete frames

Poured concrete frames are weatherproof and structurally permanent. Surface staining can occur during the first 6–12 months of weathering as the surface stabilises. Pressure-wash periodically; sealants are optional and can be applied if a uniform finish is preferred.

Stainless steel modules

Stainless steel cooking and storage modules are corrosion-resistant in coastal and pool environments. Wipe down after use; use non-abrasive stainless cleaner periodically. Confirm marine-grade specification at order for direct salt-air installations.

Cooking surfaces & gas systems

Gas burners, grills and plancha modules follow standard outdoor cooking maintenance — clean after use, deep-clean periodically, schedule annual servicing of gas systems through a qualified technician.

Where is WWOO manufactured?

WWOO is Dutch, founded by Piet-Jan van den Kommer and produced in the Netherlands. The brand pours concrete frames in-house and integrates stainless steel cooking modules from the brand's own production.

Can I buy WWOO in the United States through Via della Seta?

Yes. Via della Seta sources WWOO directly from the Netherlands for residential and hospitality projects across the United States — including modernist residential courtyards, walled garden installations, pool-deck cooking pavilions and architect-led boutique resort projects nationwide. We handle specification, factory order, ocean freight, US customs clearance and on-site assembly coordination with your contractor.

How is the concrete frame shipped and installed?

WWOO concrete frames typically ship in modular sections rather than as fully-poured monoliths, since intact monolithic pours exceed standard ocean freight tolerances. Modular sections are assembled on-site by qualified installers, integrated with gas, electrical and water connections, and tied into the surrounding landscape or architecture. We coordinate the assembly logistics and timing with your construction schedule.

Is the concrete weatherproof in freeze-thaw climates?

Yes. WWOO uses concrete formulations engineered for outdoor weatherproof use, including freeze-thaw cycles. The brand is documented in projects across the Netherlands, Belgium, UK and northern German climates that experience full freeze-thaw seasons.

Is the stainless steel coastal-grade?

WWOO uses stainless steel construction appropriate for outdoor and coastal use. For direct salt-air environments confirm AISI 316 marine-grade specification at order; the standard grade is corrosion-resistant for inland and most coastal applications.

How does WWOO compare to Officine Gullo, Röshults and Abimis?

Officine Gullo is the bespoke Florentine choice with brass detailing and professional cooking output. Roshults is the modular Scandinavian-industrial reference with stainless and Cor-Ten finishes. Abimis is the Brianza professional-stainless choice. WWOO is the architectural-monolith reference — modular concrete frames with integrated stainless cooking modules, engineered as a permanent landscape feature. We specify across all four where the brief calls for it.

What are typical WWOO lead times for US projects?

Standard modular configurations ship 12–18 weeks ex-factory. Non-standard module integration, custom finishes or large hospitality-scale installations run 18–24 weeks. For projects with a fixed install date we recommend confirming the spec at least 6 months out so production, freight, US customs clearance and on-site assembly fit inside the schedule.
