Italian design and approach
Stosa Cucine uses design and a unique approach to production as ways to add value to customers’ homes through furniture, complements and design solutions.
Thorough analysis of the latest trends and needs, a combination of creativity and functionality, a continuous exchange of ideas and attention to technology… Stosa is home to a strong design culture based on rigorous methods and a spirit of innovation, tailored to achieve one key objective: excellence.
As Stosa has grown, the company has become a laboratory for ideas in which space is given to different interpretations to satisfy customers’ needs and desires.
Above all, through style and functionality, Stosa design adds value to the time each one of us spends in the kitchen and at home.
Kitchen, lounge and endless design flexibility: consumers can choose between 2 product lines (Modern and Classic), 3 design systems (Evolution System, Look System and Classic Glam), over 1,000 finishes, 500 door colours, and 5 opening systems in an amazing number of variants.
Stosa uses its products to create unique solutions that deliver a personalised experience in space and style.
Quality, ergonomics, innovation
The quality of Stosa kitchens is the result of a combination of smart choices: foremost among these is the selection of top-quality materials and high-performance internal accessories which, together with technological partnerships with leading white goods brands, make every product unique and long-lasting.
Attention to detail is a key feature of all Stosa products, and meticulous care is taken over every design.
Thorough and constantly updated ergonomic research allows Stosa to design well organised spaces that are easy to clean and meet customers’ need for functionality.
Everything that Stosa does is guided by a fundamental value: our intrinsic commitment to innovation.
Technical innovation above all: Stosa’s policy of targeted investment has led to the creation of one of the most modern production systems in the business, with a high level of automation, optimised production flows and logistics and, of course, an advanced product development process.
In addition to technology, Stosa is also innovative in its way of thinking: our corporate culture is constantly evolving, welcoming new ideas, striving for flexibility and accepting challenges. At Stosa, we are committed to critical self-examination in order to continue improving and achieving increasingly ambitious targets.

100% Made in Italy certification demonstrates our commitment to defending Italian culture and craftsmanship as the inspiration behind technically and stylistically superb products, and our determination to promoting the excellence for which Italian design has always been recognised on the domestic and international markets.
Stosa Cucine is among the few Italian companies certified by COSMOB, a prestigious notified body for the manufacturing and wood furniture sectors. COSMOB assesses the circularity of production processes and provides companies with an objective certification of transparency on sustainability matters.
The process covers all phases from concept and design to the selection and sourcing of materials and final production. It also evaluates eco-design, the efficient use of all resources and, finally, the recovery and/or recycling of the certified products.
COSMOB has monitored and assessed all these aspects at Stosa Cucine and has certified our company’s ability to implement an industrial process that is centred around respect for the environment and people and that extends to every stage in the furniture production chain, from the manufacturing lines all the way to customer’s homes.
It has been specifically demonstrated that here at Stosa, the percentage of material that can be re-used approaches 100%. Laminate and melamine panels, for example, are 96% circularly sourced.
