Some of us are heading indoors for the coming season; others are able to entertain outside for months to come, particularly those living in southern climates. So it's no wonder that when it comes to designing outdoor kitchen components, the Italians have everyone beat. (Half of our list is Italian-made.)
We recently featured the best Modular Kitchen Workstations for indoor use on Remodelista. This week we've found our favorite kitchen workstations suited for the outdoors. A bonus: most can be rolled indoors for those in colder weather.
Above: Designed by Swedish interior architects for Röshults, the Garden Outdoor Kitchen is meant to accompany one of their outdoor grills. It's made of an anti-corrosion frame, stainless steel, and teak wood; $2,141.70 from Röshults. For more, see our post The World's Most Elegant Outdoor Grill.
