Corner Kyoto Kitchen

Corner’s new kitchen line Kyoto is inspired by Japanese aesthetics. It features a sculptural rounded island and refines minimalism with low-set wooden finger-pull handles. Rooted in Japanese aesthetics, Kyoto balances function and beauty with its curved island and dark-stained rift oak cabinets.

The Kyoto kitchen brings together the essentials of Japanese design — natural materials, minimalism and soft shapes — in a contemporary interpretation. A rounded island highlights the gentle forms, while low-set wooden finger pulls reinforce the minimalist approach, creating a simple design executed with elegance. 

The curved island matches the rounded tall cabinets that hold storage and built-in appliances, with soft shapes easing the design and adding warmth to the space. The kitchen recalls Japandi-style cabinets, with low-set wooden finger pulls replacing handleless fronts to highlight the clean lines and ensure easy opening.The pantry combines open shelving with a corner appliance garage, alongside wall-mounted ovens and a built-in coffee machine from Gaggenau. At first glance, oak fronts and the stone-like Dekton countertop seem different, yet together they create a harmonious picture of nature.

Defined by balance and proportion, the design blends function with a quiet sense of elegance. The seamless Dekton sink and countertop create a unified, minimalist look, beautifully grounded by the warmth of natural wood cabinetry. Natural textures and modern details merge seamlessly, giving the kitchen a grounded yet refined character.

A slim stone shelf runs along the wall, echoing the countertop and oak cabinets in a cohesive composition. With their stone-inspired colour and texture, the countertops contrast with the dark-stained oak fronts, evoking the serene character of Japanese interiors.
