The kitchen as the heart of the home, designed without compromise

There is a particular kind of pleasure in a kitchen that has been properly designed. Not just aesthetically resolved, but functionally perfect: worktops at the right height, storage that anticipates your habits, lighting that shifts from practical to atmospheric with a single gesture. This is the standard Etna Studio applies to every kitchen design project — whether a complete renovation in Barcelona’s Eixample, a new-build home in Girona or a coastal residence on the Costa Brava.

As the official Armony Cucine showroom in Barcelona, Etna Studio offers clients direct access to one of Italy’s most respected kitchen manufacturers. Armony synthesises aesthetic refinement, engineering precision and absolute customisation across nine distinct collections — from the clean geometry of contemporary lacquered compositions to warm, textured natural wood environments.

Nine collections, infinite possibilities

What distinguishes Armony Cucine from mass-market alternatives is the quality and coherence of its material palette. Lacquers in dozens of carefully curated tones are applied with the same precision used in high-end automotive finishing. Natural woods — oak, walnut, ash — are selected for grain consistency and treated to preserve their natural beauty while ensuring durability. Stainless steel and aluminium profiles add an industrial refinement, while stone surfaces and large-format porcelain worktops from Living Ceramics complete compositions with the kind of material weight that photographs cannot fully convey.

The nine Armony collections can be experienced at our showroom at Copèrnic 15. We strongly encourage clients to visit before specifying: the tactile reality of a door finish, the satisfying mechanism of a soft-close drawer — these are decisions best made in person. You can also browse our completed kitchen projects for real-world examples of each collection in a domestic setting.

Custom kitchen design for Barcelona, Girona and the Costa Brava

Etna Studio’s kitchen design process begins not with a catalogue but with a conversation. We want to understand how you cook, how many people regularly use the kitchen, whether it is primarily a private space or a social one, what relationship it has with adjacent living or dining areas. These functional parameters define the layout — and the layout is the most important decision of any kitchen project.

Once the layout is established, we move to material specification: cabinet doors, worktops, splashbacks, flooring, handles, integrated or freestanding appliances. At every stage, Armony’s engineering team works alongside our interior designers to ensure that aesthetic decisions are fully compatible with the technical requirements of the installation.

For projects in Girona and the Costa Brava, we offer the same comprehensive service as in Barcelona — including local coordination of installation teams and on-site quality supervision. Our broader interior design service can extend the kitchen project to cover all other spaces in the home, from the living room to the master suite.

Kitchen accessories and interior organisation

A well-designed kitchen is only as good as its interior organisation. Armony’s extensive accessories range — internal drawer systems, pull-out larder units, integrated waste sorting, plate racks, spice drawers, custom cutlery inserts — transforms cabinet interiors from simple storage into precisely organised, ergonomically efficient systems. Each one is selected and configured specifically for your kitchen and the way you use it.

If you are considering a kitchen renovation in Barcelona, Girona or along the Costa Brava, we invite you to contact us or visit our showroom at Copèrnic 15. You might also find inspiration in our project portfolio, where several of our most recent kitchen transformations are documented in detail. The kitchen you have been imagining is closer than you think.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose an Armony Cucine kitchen instead of other Italian brands?

Armony Cucine offers a level of customisation that most Italian kitchen brands do not match at equivalent price points. Its nine collections cover the full spectrum from minimalist contemporary to warm artisanal, and every component can be configured precisely to the project. As the official showroom in Barcelona, Etna Studio provides direct access to the full collection with expert specification support.

How much does a high-end kitchen design project cost in Barcelona or Girona?

The investment varies significantly depending on the size of the space, the chosen Armony Cucine collection, the worktop material and the complexity of the installation. An indicative range for a quality custom kitchen — including design, cabinetry, worktops and professional installation — typically starts from €15,000 and can extend well beyond €40,000 for larger, more complex compositions. We provide detailed, transparent budgets at the outset of every project.

Can Etna Studio design and install a kitchen in Girona or the Costa Brava?

Yes. While our showroom is based in Barcelona, Etna Studio regularly carries out kitchen design and renovation projects in Girona, the Costa Brava and across the broader Catalonia region. Our project management service covers local coordination of installation teams and quality supervision on site.

How long does a kitchen renovation take from design to installation?

A full custom kitchen project typically takes between three and five months. This includes the design and specification phase (two to four weeks), the Armony Cucine manufacturing lead time (approximately eight to twelve weeks), and site preparation and installation (one to three weeks depending on the complexity of the build).
