Proxima Kitchen
Made by Arclinea
Designed by Antonio Citterio
Antonio Citterio conceived Proxima as a reconciliation of two rarely compatible worlds: the disciplined efficiency of professional culinary environments and the sensory warmth of a home. The result reads as architecture rather than furniture, its proportions deliberate, its detailing fully resolved.
The signature oversized handle is the defining gesture of the system. Commanding in scale, it functions with equal authority across horizontal runs and vertical cabinetry, giving each configuration a consistent visual identity. It is not ornament applied to a surface but a structural idea made visible.
- Engineered cabinetry with professional-grade interior organization
- Distinctive oversized handle available in multiple finishes

What finish and material options are available for the Proxima?
Proxima is offered in a range of pale woods, lacquers, and metal surfaces, with the oversized handle available in multiple finish options. Because it is made to order, configurations can be tailored to specific spatial and material requirements.
Who is Antonio Citterio and what is his design philosophy?
Antonio Citterio is a Milan-based architect and designer whose work spans furniture, lighting, and large-scale interiors. His approach prioritizes proportion and restraint, resolving form and function through precise detailing rather than decorative gesture.
Can the Proxima kitchen be configured for an open-plan living space?
Yes. Proxima is designed to adapt to linear, island, and combined layouts, making it well suited to open-plan environments where the kitchen is visible from living and dining areas. Its architectural character holds its own as a room-defining element.
Is the Arclinea Proxima available as a custom or made-to-order product?
