ARCLINEA UNVEILS RENOVATED NYC SHOWROOM DURING NYCXDESIGN FESTIVAL
SHOWROOM, 20.05.24
Since 2012, the address on 26th Street has remained unchanged. On the facade of a Georgian-style building overlooking Madison Square Park, a new flag sign proudly announces the presence of the Arclinea New York Arclinea showroom, established in collaboration with the longstanding esteemed partner On Madison Park. The store has just undergone a complete renovation, both in its internal layout and in the compositional solutions of its kitchens, and with the grand opening coinciding with the NYCxDesign Festival. A continuous linear space spans the entire block's length, articulated into a succession of eight new environments, each presenting the Collection designed and curated by Antonio Citterio over the years.
CONVIVIUM
At the entrance, an alcove of lush vegetation echoes the park outside, setting the stage for the first kitchen, Convivium. This space showcases a wall configuration featuring white matt lacquered doors, Carrara marble worktops and a brushed stainless steel long shelf with integrated extractor hood.
Adjacent to it, the same model is presented in its iconic version. A functional island with an integrated convivial Era table displays a refined palette of materials and colors, juxtaposing the fumè oak table with bronze PVD steel bases and Calacatta marble worktops. The equipped wall unit accommodating the appliances and additional work areas together with a wet kitchen solution, is characterized by the distinctive Principia wood slat door, here with a fumè oak finish.
THEA
Continuing into the showroom, we encounter Thea, the minimal, handle-free kitchen, enhanced by its freestanding island configuration with a Jupiter black quartz worktop, perfectly coordinated with the Fenix grigio columns and units that form the working area.
ITALIA
The following space is dedicated to Italia, the Arclinea’s first model inspired by professional-grade kitchens. The configuration displays a central Vintage stainless-steel island with grey oak Era snack bar and additional wall-mounted working space, featuring matching steel doors and a contrasting Collemandina marble worktop.
LIGNUM ET LAPIS
Professionalism gives way to theatricality with Lignum et Lapis, the iconic Arclinea model designed to be both functional and convivial. The pure and sophisticated quality of the monolithic island, showcased here with a Pluto black quartz finish, is complemented by the large black ash staves wall tall units with New Pocket integrated doors concealing the supporting working area.
THEA
The final space of the showroom is once again dedicated to Thea, shown in a spectacular double island configuration with a natural oak columnated wall for appliance storage, interrupted by Vina elements for wine storage and modules with glass doors.
Thea concludes a succession of the eight most contemporary interpretations of the kitchen space, designed by Arclinea for homes in the Big Apple. This creates an unobstructed visual pathway through eight different scenarios from one shop window to the other, between 26th and 27th Street.
