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.

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.

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.
