Stylish kitchens made to last
Arclinea – committed to producing durable kitchen products
Of all the rooms in the home, the kitchen is the most complex and fascinating, the place where cuisine and conviviality merge into one. The Arclinea response to this complexity combines precision engineering, innovative design, and efficient use of space to create the ideal kitchen environment.
Heart of the home
The Arclinea Collection offers versatile design solutions, optimizing storage while providing unique solutions for accommodating tools and functions. Equipment from the Collection adds character with selected finishes, materials and functions.
Integrated into wood panelling or walls of tall units, our division systems can conceal passageways or hide work areas, becoming elements that help to make the preparation and convivial space in the kitchen the real heart of the home.
Arclinea combines technological research with the use of materials that have always been central to its products: wood with a new-gen finish that highlights the naturalness of the material, steel and the original colouring that makes it warm and welcoming. This is also achieved through the use of laminates that are innovative, velvety and solid.
Ethical designs
Arclinea is committed to protecting the environment and limiting the use of raw materials – the new ethical design manifesto Drawing Better Connections considers our impact on the world and the people within it. Our cutting-edge coating for wood panels – g_cover – is a fine example of this commitment.
In summary, our goal is always to produce high-quality, long-lasting products that align with modern lifestyle needs.
The Spirit of Adventure
The newest addition to CL Yachts’ B Series, CLB65, is proving a huge success in the yachting community.
Classic lines, sleek profile, and resin-infused composite hull combine to offer space, comfort and performance in one package. With a near 20’ beam, her spacious and welcoming interior immediately makes an impression upon entering the main salon. A hinged door and flip-up glass separating the aft deck from the salon can be fully opened to blur the lines between indoors and outdoors. The convivial aft galley serves both indoor and outdoor areas, seamlessly connecting the two for a well-balanced layout that serves to entertain guests with ease.
Forward of the galley, plenty of seating accommodates everyone onboard, while expansive windows throughout provide uninterrupted views all around, bringing a closer connection with nature. On the foredeck, you will find plenty more seating along with a sunbathing area for relaxation, while the flybridge features a fully-equipped wet bar and barbeque grill.
Below deck, three comfortable en-suite staterooms offer a serene atmosphere for guests to relax in style. The full-beam master stateroom is located midship, with a VIP cabin forward, and a guest cabin with twin beds which can be converted to a double.
Equipped with helm stations on the main deck and the flybridge, CLB65 provides owner-operators with an option to captain from inside during inclement weather.

Opera Genre Studies
The Multiverse of Buccellati Opera High Jewellery Collections
OPERA TULLE
Opera Tulle is a collection by Buccellati that combines the tradition of ancient goldsmithing techniques with the originality and beauty of its design. The collection includes rings, sautoirs, flexible bracelets, pendant and button earrings, all featuring the radial tulle layer, a hallmark of most precious Buccellati creations. The logo element is set with semi-precious stones, coloured enamels, or left unset to exalt the transparency and lightness of the tulle workmanship.
Embellishing dates back to the goldsmithing tradition of the Greeks and Romans, but it developed significantly during Byzantine art. Buccellati revives the traditions of enamelling and uses them to create a new decorative element full of charm and elegance. Gold is covered with a homogenous layer of enamel, successively cooked and fixed to the metal surface. The tulle decoration, one of Buccellati’s signatures, enshrines coloured enamel and stones and brings an iconic touch.
Truly, it is a collection with a great personality and an unmistakable style, reflecting the prestige, elegance, and femininity typical of each Buccellati piece, making the brand synonymous with style and timeless beauty worldwide.
OPERA MAXI
Next, in keeping with the Maison’s purest style, Buccellati designed the Opera Maxi line, which is a magnified version of the logo element paired with the customary tulle workmanship.
It makes a bold statement without sacrificing discretion or elegance. A central diamond is an option, as well as borders with or without diamonds.
OPERA GALILEO
The Galileo pendant, dedicated to Galileo Galilei, is a symbol of his genius and creativity, a key figure in the scientific revolution. It creates movement like stars in the cosmos, vibrating and rotating with great plasticity. The pendant is composed of concentric logo elements in alternating gold colours, rotating along an axis to create volume. Available in two versions with or without diamonds, the pendant confirms traits of great personality and unmistakable style, typical characteristics of the Buccellati Maison.
