意大利
Presented in 1988, the Italia model marked the start of collaboration with Antonio Citterio, who was then to take over as art director and designer for the entire Collection. Right from its debut, Italia embraced the aesthetics and technical solutions typical of professional kitchens, bringing their functions and typical methods into the home years before this became a widespread trend: the characteristic handle, the prevailing use of steel, deeper worktops fitted with large cast iron hobs and double sinks, suspended hoods, and the iconic double-island layout. While staying loyal to its original concept, over the years Italia has evolved with the addition of new technical details, better-performing equipment, and more sophisticated finishes, confirming its vocation for maximum functional results.
ITALIA, LIGNUM ET LAPIS, FRAME SYSTEM
A space that becomes architecture in the design of a professional kitchen connected to the living area. The work and socialising tools and functions of the two Italia islands in Vintage stainless steel dialogue with the elegant walls of tall units to the sides, with Lignum et Lapis doors in matt NTF black ash and characteristic original design. The floor-to-ceiling wood panelling houses, in the centre, the Vina refrigerated wine unit to one side and to the other an unusual built-in Frame System double door idea that opens onto the dining area, where the wood panelling continues and where the Madia unit stands out in the wall of tall units, with its coplanar opening glass door and interiors in fossil oak.

ITALIA DOUBLE ISLAND
An iconic composition from the Italia project, the double island is the perfect expression of the maximum operational functionality typical of the concept developed by Antonio Citterio since 1988. Over time, the technical ideas, accessories and materials in this solution have evolved: from steel to stone, through to quartzes and granites.
ITALIA DOUBLE ISLAND
With double island in stainless steel and functional wall of tall units, Italia kitchens are highly professional, their layouts based on the correct use of tools. The socialising island with snack bar in fossil oak protected by a glass splash guard, has an induction hob, worktop waste bin, sink, and professional New Artusi Professional hood. The food preparation and washing island has a central accessorised channel and suspended double shelf. Sliding grids in PaperStone® and wooden chopping boards provide extra work space. The wall of tall units, with Italia door in black Fenix NTM® and central worktop in Pietra Grey with accessorised back panel, is rounded out by a refrigerator, freezer and ovens. On the right, completing the layout, Vina & Tall Unit, the temperature control wine unit, combined with wood-lined dresser.
ITALIA PROFESSIONAL WORK UNIT
The Italia professional work unit is 70 cm deep and designed to house two separate sinks, one for washing and the other for preparation, so that food does not come into contact with detergents and other materials used for cleaning pots and pans. In the centre, the large five-burner hob, with cast iron pan-racks. The Italia door with recessed handle is an exclusive Arclinea patent.
ITALIA + MODUS SYSTEM
A highly professional kitchen, efficient rational design set in a space that can be shared or concealed to suit how the room is used every day. This Italia layout can be closed off or opened up to the rest of the home thanks to the Modus horizontal folding doors that are part of the warm textured fossil oak wood panelling. Entirely in stainless steel and Black PVD, the Italia kitchen has a large central work area and tall units to the sides. In the centre, the worktop with recess features a hob with cast iron pan supports, worktop waste bin, sliding grids in PaperStone® and wooden chopping board, Mensolinea shelf with LED profile and professional Artusi Gourmet Plus hood, sliding wooden wall accessories and internal teak finishes, with accessories.
