Kin & Company is a Brooklyn-based design and fabrication studio established by cousins Joseph Vidich and Kira de Paola. Grounded in precision and strong attention to detail, Kin & Company’s award winning designs embrace dramatic curvilinear silhouettes and elegant transformations of steel, stone, and glass. Their latest collection explores simple yet expressive geometric forms paired with rich surface textures. Armed with a wealth of knowledge in metal fabrication and a commitment to materiality, Kin & Company brings forward a fresh and multi-layered approach to minimalist design.
