SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Arclinea San Diego, and its full-service kitchen design showroom, has won a national design award by Nielsen’s Kitchen and Bath Business (K+BB) magazine in the publication’s annual awards program. In evaluating new showrooms from around the country for design excellence, the magazine selected Arclinea San Diego as one of the nation’s best, awarding the firm its “K+BB 2007 Design Awards, Merit Award.” Arclinea San Diego’s kitchen design showroom is located in downtown San Diego and features the award-winning Arclinea Collection of contemporary, Italian cabinetry.
The award was officially announced at K/BIS, the nation’s largest kitchen and bath trade conference-April 11-13, 2008 in Chicago-with feature editorial in the current issue of K+BB magazine. Kitchen and Bath Business (K+BB) is the nation’s leading publication serving kitchen and bath professionals, including kitchen designers, interior designers, architects and manufacturers, as well as the official sponsor of K/BIS.
In its profile of Arclinea San Diego in the April 2008 issue, K+BB magazine recognized the kitchen design firm’s commitment to Green design, innovative homeowner resources, and contributions to the San Diego design community. Per the magazine: “Bold-contemporary styling gives this 1,430-sq-ft showroom eye-catching appeal, but a trove of details makes it a truly outstanding venue for promoting the myriad benefits of its products and the creativity of the design professionals who practice here.”
Award jurors add, “Arclinea San Diego’s showroom design reflects the beauty and sophistication of its sleek product. Customers entering the showroom will find a comprehensive selection to inspire and accomplish their creative vision.”
The kitchen showroom was designed by Arclinea San Diego president and owner Lisa Wilson-Wirth, ALLIED AIA / ASID INDUSTRY PARTNER, and Aaron Anderson, AIA, principal, Studio: Anderson, Inc.

Through our showroom and in each of our custom kitchen designs for clients, we strive to provide inspiration as to the role the kitchen can play in the modern home,” says Lisa Wilson-Wirth, president and owner, Arclinea San Diego. “We truly believe kitchens should be as beautiful to look at as they are to use, and that functionality and design have an equally important place at the table. Our showroom reinforces this commitment, from the functionality and breadth of our kitchen displays, to our use of the highest quality, eco-intelligent materials and most promising cooking appliances and new technologies.”
