A story dating back to 1925, which transformed from “doing” to “knowhow” to then become a culture by anticipating, interpreting and responding to changes in society and people’s behaviour. Competence, acquired through the specialist production of kitchens, transforms thoughts and processes into articles that already at their genesis, as if in a unicum, connect functionality and conviviality, practicality and experience. A result of close links with its local area, the concept of Made in Italy championed by Arclinea is rooted in tradition, a value that no innovation can override and an inspiration for creativity that becomes a culture of design. An ethical approach to the supply chain leads, on the one hand, to tangible sustainability in terms of product “duration” and "end-of-life" and, on the other, to attention to what is good and right for people and their environment: from tools to ingredients, starting with the kitchen.
