Curved kitchens arrive: Moda Interni & Pedini at the helm

Jefferson Fernando

A bold new chapter in kitchen design has arrived—and it’s anything but straight.

Moda Interni, in collaboration with iconic Italian kitchen brand Pedini, has officially introduced the most curved, luxurious kitchen concept ever seen in the Philippine market. Debuted at Moda Interni’s showroom in Quezon City, this game-changing kitchen design merges sculptural aesthetics with ergonomic function, redefining the modern Filipino home in the most elegant of arcs.

At the heart of the launch is Pedini’s Arkè collection, headlined by a stunning C-shaped kitchen island, seamless lacquered cabinetry, and refined slatted wood detailing. The result is more than just a high-end kitchen—it’s a sensorial experience. A statement of form and flow that breaks free from convention.

“We’re pushing the boundary of what a kitchen can be,” shares Goldwin Sison, CEO of Moda Interni. “The curved kitchen offers not just aesthetic beauty but a fundamentally new way to experience cooking, entertaining, and living at home.”

Why curves now?

As Filipino homes shift from utilitarian layouts to more expressive, experience-focused environments, the kitchen is taking center stage—not just as a space to prepare meals, but as the soul of the household. Here, Pedini’s vision of a curved kitchen fits seamlessly into the Filipino lifestyle—fluid, connected, and grounded in togetherness.

Unlike the rigid lines of traditional kitchens, Pedini’s curved architecture embraces the user. It adapts to movement, encourages intuitive cooking, and facilitates human connection. Whether entertaining guests or preparing family meals, the space becomes a natural extension of the person within it.

Francesco Giuffrida, Brand Export Manager of Pedini, emphasized this vision at the launch: “We design for how people live—not just how a kitchen should look. The Arkè collection is a product of decades of Italian innovation and emotional design. It reflects a philosophy of elegance in motion.”

The Italian touch meets Filipino taste

Founded in 1957, Pedini has long been a global pioneer in modular and luxury kitchen systems. It was one of the first brands to successfully engineer curved cabinetry, starting with its trailblazing Francesca model. Today, that legacy continues—and it’s resonating deeply in the Philippines.

This new collaboration with Moda Interni is more than a partnership; it’s a statement. In a country where design consciousness is fast evolving, and homeowners are beginning to seek globally relevant, functionally sophisticated interiors, Pedini’s presence comes as a timely answer.

“Filipinos are ready,” says Sison. “We’re seeing it firsthand—clients are asking for kitchens that are not just practical but poetic. Kitchens that elevate everyday living.”

Designed around you

One of the strongest advantages of the curved kitchen is its customizability. While the flowing shape is a visual constant, every component—from stove placement to sink orientation—is tailored to match the homeowner’s rhythm.

The result? A kitchen that wraps around your lifestyle. Cooking stations are more accessible. Interactions flow naturally. And hosting becomes a delight rather than a logistical hurdle.

“Curved layouts create a sense of embrace,” explains Giuffrida. “They reflect life’s natural contours. And for cultures like the Philippines—where food, family, and celebration are deeply intertwined—it just makes sense.”

Setting a new standard

Beyond its headline-grabbing design, the curved kitchen reflects a larger movement. A pivot toward lifestyle-driven interiors. A growing appetite for international design standards made locally available. And a Filipino market increasingly aware of the power of good design to transform everyday life.

Through Moda Interni’s commitment to this vision, the Philippines now stands at the forefront of this wave. With exclusive brands like Turri, Opera Contemporary, LAGO, and Pedini under its banner, the company continues to blur the lines between furniture and fine art, luxury and utility.

“Our mission is to empower homeowners and designers with choices that reflect global sophistication but speak to local values,” Sison adds. “The launch of this curved kitchen is just the beginning.”

The heart of the home, redefined

In a world of cookie-cutter layouts and straight-edged norms, the curved kitchen dares to be different. It reclaims the kitchen not just as a place of preparation, but as a space for creativity, conversation, and community. It is a space that invites movement, sparks joy, and quietly speaks of craftsmanship and care.

And for the discerning Filipino homeowner, it signals a turning point: where luxury meets life, and design finally curves toward home.

Moda Interni is located in Quezon City and offers curated collections of luxury furniture, kitchen systems, and modular cabinetry from leading European brands.
