Antonio Citterio's Kora kitchen island for Arclinea

Italian architect Antonio Citterio and brand Arclinea have launched Kora, a rounded kitchen island designed to introduce a fresh design language into the kitchen. The island features fluid curves, a sculptural presence, and monolithic materiality, integrating food preparation, cooking, and storage. Citterio studied the different elements of a kitchen island and reconceived them into a continuous form available in marble, wood, stone, polished or PVD-coated steel. The design allows for more flexible placement without orthogonal constraints. Kora is designed to work with a selection of tables—Folia, Vesper, and Orbita—that extend the sinuous design language with round or leaf-shaped tabletops, allowing preparation, dining, and interaction to coexist harmoniously. The product was featured on Dezeen Showroom in April 2026.
