A new destination dedicated to the culture of Italian kitchen design has opened in the Xintiandi district; a landmark of contemporary Shanghai where tradition and global lifestyles converge. Located in the Huangpu district and frequented by a cosmopolitan community of residents, professionals and international visitors, the new Arclinea showroom establishes itself as an environment devoted to the language of the kitchen. Here, aesthetics, innovation and conviviality are expressed through a distinctly Italian perspective, conceived to inspire.

PROXIMA

Welcoming visitors, Proxima establishes a strong architectural presence where high performance meets contemporary elegance through refined material research. Polished Arabescato Orobico marble surfaces, paired with PVD Plus Black stainless steel on the doors, Pro plinth and hood, establish a balanced interplay of depth and reflection. The operational area, developed in the same finishes and set within a slatted black ash boiserie wall, defines a space of precise composition, where every detail contributes to a coherent and disciplined design language.

CONVIVIUM

Conceived as a space for connection, Convivium interprets the kitchen as an open, convivial environment. The model on display features Convivium Elegant doors in a PVD Plus bronze finish, which, together with polished Calacatta marble, lend the setting a refined luminosity. The fumé oak table seamlessly extends the preparation area into a setting dedicated to gathering and exchange. The wet kitchen, defined by consistent finishes and a stainless steel channel system, can be concealed when required behind the Folding system in smoked oak, completing a vision of living in which the kitchen becomes the emotional centre of the home.

LIGNUM ET LAPIS

Continuing through the showroom, Lignum et Lapis articulates Arclinea’s enduring dialogue between stone and wood through a composition of inviting sophistication. Polished Versilys marble meets the natural warmth of oak, expressed in tall units with slatted doors and integrated design solutions. Vintage Plus stainless steel introduces a technical yet refined presence, while the MAC (Mini-Appliances-Container) system, integrated between the ovens, reflects a continuous pursuit of advanced, discreet functionality.

ITALIA

An iconic model within the Arclinea collection, Italia evolves while remaining true to its identity. In Shanghai, it is presented in a scenographic configuration featuring a large island in Vintage Plus stainless steel, an Era snack top in Fossil Oak and a coordinated double-shelf hood. The wall-mounted operational area integrates doors, worktop and backsplash in Vintage Plus stainless steel, with Fossil Oak accessories and Stopsol glass wall units framed in black anodised aluminium. Here, technical precision and material richness redefine the relationship between domestic space and the professional dimension.
