Arclinea KORA Kitchen with island

In a penthouse atop a residential tower, suffused with natural light and a palette of natural, even tones, the atmosphere feels soft and enveloping.‎ Sunshine filters through a wide window overlooking the city, illuminating the sense of space and the continuity of surfaces.‎ At the centre, the Kora island emerges as a sculptural presence; a generous, uninterrupted volume in travertine marble, paired with the Folia table set alongside.‎ Behind, a wall of fitted cabinetry in tobacco oak discreetly organises the functions of the kitchen.‎ Stone, wood and stainless steel establish a clear and cohesive material language, poised between design precision and a quiet sense of domestic warmth.‎ 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.‎ Around the island, a system of complementary elements broadens its use.‎ The Folia table connects with ease, extending the working surface in a fluid, organic form, accompanied by Jens stools available in all Arclinea wood finishes.‎ Particular attention is given to the curved side panel, a synthesis of formal exploration and construction innovation.‎ Rather than being carved from a single block of marble, it is produced using a technology that reduces material waste.‎ The tapered Era-designed top defines a slender, elegant profile, enhancing the overall sense of lightness.‎ Behind the island, the fitted wall organises the space with clarity and purpose.‎ Oven columns integrate with Modus doors which, when required, open the working area to reveal a monobloc marble worktop.‎ Italia doors in NTF tobacco oak, paired with coordinated shelving and accessories, form a coherent system in which every function is precisely resolved.‎ A striking, central element of the collection, Teca is integrated into the project as both a technological and architectural presence.‎ Conceived for wine storage, it brings together advanced performance with a measured aesthetic.‎ Externally, stainless steel defines its essential character, while the interior, arranged in a walnut finish, ensures optimal conditions for wines and food.‎ Silent, connected and precise, Teca sits naturally within the kitchen, transforming storage into a convivial gesture and contributing to a refined, contemporary environment.‎ Further info from manufacturer on KORA Arclinea
