Milan | the Irori kitchen installation by Kengo Kuma

Irori Kitchen installation by Kengo Kuma & Associates

Energy for Creativity is a program of design exhibitions, conferences, and architectural installations running at the Milan University and organized by Interni magazine and Mondadori within the framework of the Milan Design Week 2015.

Among the many events programmed, we present here the installation IRORI, designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates, housed in the foyer of the University’s auditorium.

The installation is a micro-architecture composed of a fascinating pure-white tunnel, 13 meters long and 5 meters wide, which surface is constituted by several bent strips of a special vulcanized paper, 1 mm thick.

The tunnel encloses Irori Kitchen, a kitchen and living-room system, made of bamboo panels and steel tubes, providing great positioning flexibility as well as an extreme possibility to create different configurations.
