What is the Oliveri Solitaire range
Oliveri Solitaire is a stainless steel kitchen sink range from Oliveri, one of Australia's established sink manufacturers, made in Adelaide. The bare name Solitaire can be ambiguous outside of this context, but here it refers specifically to an Oliveri-made range built around a round bowl design, distinct from Oliveri's other stainless steel sink ranges. The range is compact, with two variants, giving buyers a focused choice rather than a large lineup to work through.
What is in the range
The Solitaire range centres on a single round bowl shape, offered in two configurations. One variant has no tap hole, suited to installations where the tap is mounted separately in the benchtop or wall rather than through the sink itself. The other is a topmount sink with a tap landing built in, suited to a straightforward drop-in installation where the tap sits on the sink itself. This gives buyers a clear choice depending on how their kitchen benchtop and tapware are set up.
Who this range suits
A round bowl sink like Solitaire tends to suit kitchens where a rounded profile fits the existing benchtop style or cabinetry better than a rectangular bowl, or where the household simply prefers the look of a round basin over the more common square or rectangular options. Because the range is stainless steel and Australian-manufactured, it also suits buyers prioritising local production and the durability that stainless steel offers in a high-use area like a kitchen.
Buying considerations
- Tap hole configuration: decide whether you need the no-tap-hole variant (tap mounted separately) or the topmount version with an integrated tap landing, since these are not interchangeable once installed
- Benchtop cutout: round bowl sinks require a benchtop cutout matched to the bowl's dimensions, so check measurements against your existing or planned benchtop before ordering
- Installation type: topmount sinks sit above the benchtop surface, which is a simpler installation than an undermount, and is worth confirming suits your kitchen design
- Material care: stainless steel is durable and resists staining, but benefits from regular wiping to avoid water spotting and to keep the surface looking its best over time
Why choose an Oliveri-made sink
Oliveri manufactures its stainless steel sinks in Adelaide, which is a relevant point for buyers wanting to support local manufacturing or who value the quality control that comes with a manufacturer producing close to its home market. Within Oliveri's broader catalogue, Solitaire is one of several stainless steel ranges, so if the round bowl design does not suit your kitchen, it is worth comparing it against Oliveri's other sink ranges for a different bowl shape or configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Solitaire an Oliveri product?
Yes, Solitaire is a stainless steel kitchen sink range manufactured by Oliveri in Adelaide. The name on its own does not indicate the brand, so it is worth knowing upfront that this range sits within Oliveri's broader catalogue of stainless steel sinks.
What is the difference between the two Solitaire sinks?
One is a no-tap-hole variant, meant for kitchens where the tap is mounted separately in the benchtop or wall. The other is a topmount sink with a built-in tap landing, suited to a simpler drop-in installation where the tap sits directly on the sink. Choosing between them comes down to how your tapware and benchtop are set up.
Will a round bowl sink suit my kitchen?
A round bowl is a design choice rather than a functional limitation, and suits kitchens where the profile matches existing cabinetry or benchtop style, or where you simply prefer a rounded basin over a rectangular one. It is worth checking the bowl dimensions against your benchtop cutout before deciding.
Is the Oliveri Solitaire sink made in Australia?
Yes, Oliveri manufactures its stainless steel sink ranges, including Solitaire, in Adelaide. This is relevant if local manufacturing is a priority in your kitchen renovation decisions.
How do I know which tap hole configuration I need?
This depends on where your tap is currently installed or planned to be installed. If the tap sits in the benchtop or on the wall separately from the sink, choose the no-tap-hole variant. If you want the tap mounted directly on the sink itself, the topmount version with an integrated tap landing is the better fit.
