INCA

“let none but geometers enter here.”
기하학을 모르는 자 들어오지 말지어다.
아테네 플라톤 아카데미의 문에 새겨진 한마디는 우리에게 영감을 주었습니다.
고대 그리스에서 기하학은 철학의 수단이었습니다.
단순하고 우아하게 뻗어 올라가는 직선과 얇은 수평선의 만남.
그 안에 입체적인 공간이 숨어있습니다.

the protagonist is the verticality. “let none but geometers enter here”: this quote by the greek philosopher platone inspired us. respecting the geometric purity of essential shapes, in inca we got on the pedestal the lines that run from the bottom upwards, pushing to the extreme the principle of subtraction. we have therefore reduced the shapes, working with two materials: wood for height, stone for the horizontal planes. natural elements fit together and complement each other, and an excellent example of it is the refined, simple and elegant meeting. inca displays a vertical rhythm given by the gola profiles that mark the module of the kitchen. the thickness of the worktop melts into the thickness of the doors by drawing a single perimeter line that joins materials and finishes without any visual distraction. the 45° mitre joints between the doors and the worktop offers the kitchen a unique identity of volume. the tall units coupled to it have the same vertical profiles.
