Whether with curved contours or straight lines, the shapes of kitchen islands continue to advance and diversify. Here’re three we love.

1. Curveball

Island design is taken one step further with this sculptural piece, which serves as a visual focal point and a functional unit in this otherwise bare kitchen space. The design cleverly connects an 85cm-high worktop with a 75cm-high dining table using gentle curves.

2. Industrial Design

Consider creating a multipurpose island that functions as both a workstation and a casual dining space. If you’re going with the functional factory-style trend, update it with pops of bright colour.

3.  Straighten Up

Clean- and straight-lined islands are a timeless ideal that never go out of fashion.

Get the look The Phoenix kitchen by Poliform Varenna illustrates this with the elegant design of this steel-topped option. It has been built in against one of the walls to control the flow of traffic.
