Compared to PLANE
PLANE is completely flat and minimal. ARC adds sculptural depth and a tactile curved opening detail.
ARC Collection — Sculpted Curve
A sculpted curve
for a clean handleless
kitchen.
ARC is a ORLO.Haus front collection built around a refined curved detail that creates shadow, softness, and tactile function without applied hardware.
Modern kitchens do not have to be completely flat. ARC introduces a sculpted curve into the front, giving the kitchen a softer architectural expression while keeping the lines clean and quiet.
Available for selected Core System projects and reviewed Sektion® System applications.
Design Story
A softer line inside a modern kitchen system.
Modern cabinetry is often dominated by straight lines, flat panels, and sharp edges. ARC keeps the clean architectural language but introduces a curved detail that softens the kitchen without making it decorative.
The curve gives the hand a natural place to open the front while creating a subtle shadow line and sculptural depth.
ARC is for kitchens that should feel modern, refined, and calm — but not completely flat.
The curve is not decoration. It is function shaped into the front.
Signature Detail
The curve becomes the handle.
ARC is built around a curved integrated detail. Instead of adding a separate pull, the front itself is shaped to create a tactile opening point. The result is a handleless kitchen with more warmth, depth, and movement than a completely flat surface.

What Makes ARC DifferentMore shaped than PLANE.
More shaped than PLANE.
Softer than COVE. Quieter than CIRCLE.
ARC sits in the middle of the ORLO.Haus collection family. It is not as minimal as PLANE, not as linear as COVE, and not as graphic as CIRCLE. ARC uses a curved integrated detail to create a kitchen that feels sculpted, calm, and modern.
Compared to COVE
COVE is defined by a recessed integrated pull and clean architectural shadow. ARC feels softer and more curved.
Compared to CIRCLE
CIRCLE uses a round geometric pull as a signature mark. ARC is more continuous and less graphic.
Compared to applied hardware
ARC keeps the front clean by building the handle into the geometry of the door or drawer.
Where ARC Fits
Choose the right level of detail.
ARC sits between pure minimalism and graphic detail. Use this comparison to find the front collection direction that fits your project.
COVE
Best if you want a warm integrated-handle kitchen with a softly recessed pull and strong architectural restraint.
Personality
Quiet, warm, precise.
CIRCLE
Best if you want a Danish-inspired round pull built into the door — recognizable but refined.
Personality
Soft, graphic, recognizable.
ARC
Best if you want a handleless kitchen with a sculpted curved detail and softer movement.
Personality
Fluid, architectural, tactile.
PLANE
Best if you want pure flat surfaces with the least visible front detail.
Personality
Minimal, quiet, pure.
REED
Best if you want vertical reeded texture and architectural rhythm across the front.
Personality
Textural, rhythmic, warm.
Available Systems
Best suited for Core System and selected reviewed applications.
ARC is a detail-sensitive collection. The curved profile affects construction, front proportions, material choices, and hardware planning. For the strongest result, ARC is best suited for the Core System. Selected Sektion® System applications may be possible after review.
ARC on Core System
Use ARC with ORLO.Haus's made-to-order cabinet platform for the best control over proportions, interiors, hardware, appliance panels, and curved detail alignment.
Best for
- · Full kitchen remodels
- · Designer-led projects
- · High-end residential kitchens
- · Integrated appliance projects
- · Projects where the curved detail should be consistent and carefully planned
ARC on Sektion® System
ARC may be available for selected IKEA® SEKTION® applications after review. Because IKEA® front sizes and cabinet logic can limit design control, each project should be evaluated before quoting.
Best for
- · Reviewed IKEA® SEKTION® projects
- · Selected front applications
- · Customers who want a premium handleless upgrade and understand compatibility limits
Important: ARC should not be treated as a universal replacement front for every cabinet condition. The curved detail needs proper proportions and material compatibility to look premium.
Recommended FinishesARC is strongest when the
ARC is strongest when the
finish shows the curve.
The curved detail becomes more beautiful when the finish supports shadow, texture, and touch. Wood gives ARC warmth and depth. Matte color makes it quiet and sculptural. Technical surfaces can make it feel sharper and more architectural when compatible.

Design Rules & DetailingARC works best when the curve
ARC works best when the curve
is treated as part of the architecture.
The curved detail should feel intentional across the whole kitchen. Placement, direction, repetition, reveal lines, appliance panels, and grain direction all affect whether ARC feels premium.
- 01
Keep the curve consistent
The curved detail should repeat with clear logic across drawers, doors, and tall fronts.
- 02
Plan front orientation
Handle direction and curve placement should be intuitive to use and visually consistent.
- 03
Respect material limits
Not every finish or front size will support the curved detail equally. Compatibility should be reviewed before quoting.
- 04
Use large surfaces carefully
ARC can create beautiful shadow and movement on larger fronts, but proportions must be controlled.
- 05
Coordinate grain direction
For wood kitchens, drawer fronts may use horizontal grain; tall fronts may use vertical grain depending on the design.
- 06
Avoid over-mixing
ARC can pair with PLANE in selected applications, but mixing collections should be intentional and limited.
- 07
Review appliance panels
Panel-ready appliance conditions require careful review so the curve does not interfere with function, clearances, or hardware.
Best-Fit ProjectsARC is best when the kitchen needs
ARC is best when the kitchen needs
softness without ornament.
ARC is for clients who want a modern kitchen that still has movement, touch, and sculptural detail. It is a strong choice when PLANE feels too flat, CIRCLE feels too graphic, and COVE feels too linear.
Sculptural handleless kitchens
ARC creates a handleless look with more depth and movement.
Warm modern interiors
White oak, walnut, and soft matte finishes make ARC feel natural and refined.
Core System kitchens
ARC is strongest when paired with made-to-order cabinetry and controlled detailing.
Islands and feature areas
The curved detail can add softness to islands, bars, vanities, and tall storage walls.
Designer-led projects
ARC gives designers a refined profile that can support sophisticated interiors.
Distinctive but not loud
ARC creates distinction without becoming decorative or trendy.
Project Examples
See ARC in finished and concept applications.
ARC is easiest to understand in context, where the curve, finish, panel layout, and architecture work together.

Start With Samples
The ARC curve should be seen and felt.
ARC is a tactile collection. The curve, shadow, edge quality, and finish are difficult to judge from a flat image alone. Order an ARC detail sample, finish samples, or a full sample box to compare the collection in your own space.
