brand ARCLINEA

Founded in 1925, Italian kitchen brand Arclinea has long redefined the kitchen not just as a place for cooking, but as the very heart of the home. A pioneer of modern Italian design, the brand’s enduring collaboration with Antonio Citterio has transformed kitchens into architectural experiences—spaces shaped by light, material, and rhythm, where function and elegance seamlessly coexist.
The brand’s ongoing series, “Extraordinary, Everyday,” embodies this vision. Through real-life stories captured across different geographies, the series reveals how kitchens bring together people, nature, and daily rituals, showing the extraordinary potential of the everyday.
Its latest chapter takes us to Portugal, to Casa No Tempo, part of Silent Living. Designed by architect Manuel Aires Mateus, this timeless estate features the handle-free Thea kitchen in white lacquer—a space conceived not just for cooking, but for sharing and connection. Surrounded by nature, the kitchen unites the purity of contemporary design with the grounded simplicity of rural life.
“The kitchen is where it all comes together: food, people, stories. With Arclinea, we created a space that feels open, generous, and full of meaning—where sharing a meal means connecting to the land, to each other, and to time. Casa No Tempo isn’t just a house (casa); it’s a way of living. It invites you to slow down, pay attention, and find the extraordinary in the everyday.” — João Rodrigues
At its core, Arclinea continues to ask the same question: What makes the everyday extraordinary? The answer lies in the table set anew each day, in stories shared, and in the way a space can root us more deeply in life itself.
