KORA, THE CURVE AS A NEW ACCENT FOR THE KITCHEN

KORA
Designed by Antonio Citterio for Arclinea, Kora introduces a new design language shaped by the curve. The island moves beyond rigid orthogonality, opening into rounded corners and continuous, welcoming forms. Surfaces flow with ease, offering more fluid and intuitive ways of inhabiting the space. The doors and handles define a distinctive signature, where technical precision and aesthetic clarity converge, contributing to a cohesive reading of the whole.

The project draws out the depth of each material through carefully considered pairings and finely worked surfaces. Travertine marble, used across the top, sides and doors, conveys a sense of solidity and visual continuity, while the tobacco oak of the wall introduces warmth. The Italia marble door incorporates its namesake handle, carved directly into the stone and precisely inset, an expression of artisanal skill and technical mastery. Stainless steel completes the composition, lending a subtle professional character.
