Solitaire Range

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.
