What Xíkara does

Xíkara, operating through the legal entity ARAKIX MUEBLES SL, is a Madrid-based custom furniture manufacturer and interior design firm with operations dating to 1975. The company designs, fabricates, and installs bespoke furniture for residential clients, covering kitchens (marketed under the sub-brand Xíkara Cocinas), wardrobes and walk-in closets, bedrooms, living and dining rooms, youth/children's rooms, bathrooms, and bespoke joinery/ebanistería. Its core technology is in-house custom furniture manufacturing, distinguished by made-to-measure fabrication, integrated LED lighting, and configurable interior organization systems (pull-out shoe racks, compartmentalized drawers, adjustable shelving).

The business operates on a project-based quotation model: customers pay a €300 on-site measurement fee (credited toward the order), confirm with a 40% deposit (50% outside the Community of Madrid or Spain), and settle the balance before delivery. Free transport and assembly are included within Madrid; the firm also provides up to one month of free storage via a third-party warehouse in Pinto. Distribution is anchored by a single physical showroom in Madrid's Fuencarral-El Pardo district under an appointment-based ('cita previa') consultative sales motion, supplemented by a B2B professional partner program for interior designers, decorators, and architects. Marketing is driven by content (blog, project portfolio), organic SEO, Instagram, email newsletter, and Google reviews, with a third-party financing partner supporting consumer affordability.

Xíkara serves two primary customer segments: Madrid homeowners seeking tailored furniture for compact or renovated spaces, and interior design professionals using the firm as a custom fabrication partner. Geographic operations are concentrated in the Community of Madrid, with the company explicitly participating in the EU's Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia funding framework. The company is privately held, with no disclosed external investment, M&A activity, or senior leadership changes.
