Architectural kitchen systems for modern homes.

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.

  1. 01

    Sculpted curve

    A curved profile built into the front to create softness and grip.

  2. 02

    Tactile function

    The hand naturally follows the curve when opening the door or drawer.

  3. 03

    Clean handleless look

    No applied hardware is needed in most compatible applications.

  4. 04

    Shadow and depth

    The curve creates a subtle shadow line that gives the front more dimension.

  5. 05

    Modern softness

    ARC adds a softer architectural detail without becoming ornate.

What Makes ARC Different

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.
01

Compared to PLANE

PLANE is completely flat and minimal. ARC adds sculptural depth and a tactile curved opening detail.

02

Compared to COVE

COVE is defined by a recessed integrated pull and clean architectural shadow. ARC feels softer and more curved.

03

Compared to CIRCLE

CIRCLE uses a round geometric pull as a signature mark. ARC is more continuous and less graphic.

04

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.

Explore COVE

CIRCLE

Best if you want a Danish-inspired round pull built into the door — recognizable but refined.

Personality

Soft, graphic, recognizable.

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.

Reviewed Applications

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
Upload IKEA® Plan for Review

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 Finishes

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 & Detailing

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.
ARC white oak — detailing strategy
  1. 01

    Keep the curve consistent

    The curved detail should repeat with clear logic across drawers, doors, and tall fronts.

  2. 02

    Plan front orientation

    Handle direction and curve placement should be intuitive to use and visually consistent.

  3. 03

    Respect material limits

    Not every finish or front size will support the curved detail equally. Compatibility should be reviewed before quoting.

  4. 04

    Use large surfaces carefully

    ARC can create beautiful shadow and movement on larger fronts, but proportions must be controlled.

  5. 05

    Coordinate grain direction

    For wood kitchens, drawer fronts may use horizontal grain; tall fronts may use vertical grain depending on the design.

  6. 06

    Avoid over-mixing

    ARC can pair with PLANE in selected applications, but mixing collections should be intentional and limited.

  7. 07

    Review appliance panels

    Panel-ready appliance conditions require careful review so the curve does not interfere with function, clearances, or hardware.

Best-Fit Projects

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.
01

Sculptural handleless kitchens

ARC creates a handleless look with more depth and movement.

02

Warm modern interiors

White oak, walnut, and soft matte finishes make ARC feel natural and refined.

03

Core System kitchens

ARC is strongest when paired with made-to-order cabinetry and controlled detailing.

04

Islands and feature areas

The curved detail can add softness to islands, bars, vanities, and tall storage walls.

05

Designer-led projects

ARC gives designers a refined profile that can support sophisticated interiors.

06

Distinctive but not loud

ARC creates distinction without becoming decorative or trendy.

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.
