Ivan feat.KN
Hidden beneath each piece lies a “fragment” by the international renowned visual poet Ivan. KN’s objects always tell a story, but in this case, the narrative is deliberately concealed, an intimate layer meant to be discovered slowly. It invites a personal connection, a quiet dialogue between the object and its user, where meaning is not imposed but gently revealed over time.
Ivan, poet and artist from Milan, is a pioneer of Italy’s “Street Poetry.” From the Barona district to cities worldwide, he brings poetry to the streets, mixing art, social activism, and urban performance. Founder of events and collectives, he promotes creativity and solidarity across Italy and beyond. His notable projects include visual poetry readings like “Immensa Mexico” and large public art performances that have engaged thousands. Besides poetry, Ivan is also a cultural organizer and musician, actively supporting alternative creative movements and public participatory art.
Hidden within each object is a poetic fragment by Ivan, a pioneer of Street Poetry. We chose him for his ability to bring words to the streets, raw, real, and deeply human. His voice doesn’t shout, it lingers. Just like our pieces: quiet, but full of meaning.

They are an evolution of the traditional concept of the centerpiece, transforming it into a functional and decorative element that enhances the culinary and social experience. These pieces, prepared and arranged in the kitchen, are designed to remain at the center of the table throughout the entire meal, making it easier to share dishes while adding an aesthetic touch to the setting.
Each piece is conceived as a functional sculpture, enriching the kitchen or dining space with elegant and contemporary design.
To the existing versions in glass, stoneware, and steel, new additions join the Fusion collection, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni. The stone-washed aluminum base is paired with a top in Canaletto walnut or travertine, further enriching the diverse family of these objects, which define and serve as central elements on KN // Tables.
