Kora by Antonio Citterio for Arclinea
“Kora arose from a reflection on how the kitchen is used and how people live and move around it,” says Antonio Citterio, who designed the collection as an exploration of the curved line. This defining feature allowed sinuous lines to enhance the continuity of surfaces. Marble enriches this flow and introduces a quiet materiality to the configuration.
Physis by Vincent Van Duysen for Molteni&C
Vincent Van Duysen expresses formal harmony in the Physis kitchen through rounded edges and sides that denote an organic elegance. The attention to detail in the model is evident with a look at the curved lines of the sink and snack counter, where the thickness of the worktop is enriched by a metal insert that follows the continuity of the curved lines.
XPL by Piero Lissoni for Boffi
The idea for the XPL kitchen system was based on less-is-more structural principles: reduction of form, control of proportions, and enhancement of constructive details as a distinctive element. Piero Lissoni’s defining feature for the model is a chamfered side panel with a gentle outer curve. “XPL has a pure, rigorous volume,” says the architect. “It’s almost floating in space.”
TU by Alberto Torsello for Abimis
With the TU kitchen, Alberto Torsello set out to examine the relationship between form and function, and between the quality of materials and attention to detail. As such, TU is crafted entirely from stainless steel, and its signature features are diamond-patterned folding doors that reflect light and create dynamic, sculptural surfaces that transform the steel into a living element.
