Arclinea - Artusi kitchen

Artusi is strength, rigour and design awareness. A project by Antonio Citterio that was the outcome of development and amplification of the innovative criteria of Italia, translating them into multi-purpose, independent, ergonomic steel units. Resolute and powerful yet extremely flexible, Artusi offers complete freedom for personalised home kitchen layout and design. Wood, lacquers and laminates join forces with steel to give a wide range of personal solutions. Artusi has been modernised over the years, leading it to become the highest example today of the professional kitchen specifically for the home.
Artusi Outdoor is a tangible kitchen design solution specific for outdoor areas. A project born out of the use of technological materials and details that enable excellent resistance to humidity and good heat insulation: from AISI 316 stainless steel to the 4 cm thick door with built-in insulation and magnetic seal to protect insides from infiltration and insects, to carcasses in Okoumé marine ply to the heat-insulated unit with deep internal drawers for keeping food and drinks hot or cold. The built-in BBQ/barbecue hob is connected to a dedicated gas bottle space complete with air grille.
This is the professional kitchen with the measurements, performance and widest design versatility for home use. High-content evolution that powers up the concept of domestic professionalism, the natural ‘vocation’ of Artusi. Artusi is made-to-measure, up to 3 metres. It always comes on feet and can be fitted with any of the doors from the Arclinea Collection.

Antonio Citterio

Born in Meda in 1950, he opened his own design studio in 1972 and graduated in architecture from the Milan Polytechnic in 1975. Between 1987 and 1996 he was associated with Terry Dwan; together they built buildings in Europe and Japan. In 2000, with Patricia Viel, he founded a design company, active at an international level, which develops complex design programs, at all scales and in synergy with a qualified network of specialist consultancies. The studio has now assumed the name of “Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel”. In the industrial design sector he currently collaborates with Italian and foreign companies such as Ansorg, Arclinea, Axor-Hansgrohe, B&B Italia, Flexform, Flos, Hermès, Iittala, Kartell, Maxalto, Sanitec (Geberit Group), Technogym and Vitra. Another important fact, in 1987 and 1994 Antonio Citterio was awarded the Compasso d'Oro-ADI. Since 2006 he has been teaching architectural design at the Mendrisio Academy of Architecture (Switzerland). In 2008 he received the honor "Royal Designer for Industry" from the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers & Commerce in London.

Arclinea

Since 1988 the Arclinea project has aimed to bring innovation in the space of cooking. The first product symbol of a new concept is Italy by Antonio Citterio, who incorporates materials, ways and uses of professional equipment. New is the aesthetics of unalterable and resistant to water and fire steel, technically processed with the precision necessary for the best functional performance. The floors are deeper, streamlined and organized for preparation and cooking, with a dedicated double wash-for food and crockery, with the aim of giving the right working tools for the highest quality of the result. Over the years the professional concept has been extending to new products and is enriched with other technical solutions, more performing equipment, more sophisticated finishes.
