On the occasion of the Salone del Mobile 2012, Arclinea will be opening their Centro Cucine showroom on 17 April at 28 Corso Monforte. Set in a historic Milanese Palazzo which will boast views of both the Corso and a picturesque Italian-style garden, the Centro Cucine is a project by architect Gianluca Tronconi, designed and co-ordinated by Antonio Cittero.

The new Arclinea showroom will feature fully functional kitchen installations with the promise of "unusual finishes, innovative details and original linings expressed in a totally coherent layout". Set to attract the most attention is the "special outdoor kitchen" at the back of the showroom which overlooks and interacts with the garden of this historic palazzo.

Arclinea are looking to affirm their promise that the new 'flagship' store will be "a place for experimentation, not simply design and sales, which explains the realism of the settings and the functional kitchen. This experimentation will go beyond practice with tradition and creativity as the main players."
