KN JOURNAL
KN JOURNAL is a dynamic space dedicated to exploring our projects, collaborations, and creative journeys through diverse perspectives. At the heart of the project lies the belief that objects are more than simple functional tools: they shape the way we gather, present, and enjoy food. Our products become protagonists of authentic moments at the table, encouraging interaction and elevating everyday rituals. KN Journal documents the initiatives developed alongside our collections, from artistic collaborations to spontaneous exchanges, generating meaningful dialogue and interdisciplinary inspiration. It is designed to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and share the cultural and creative ecosystem that defines our approach to design.

Evento “Shopping a lume di candela”
In the heart of Udine, the garden of Cumini Emporio was illuminated by a different kind of light, the soft glow of candles, reflections on surfaces, and conversations slowing the rhythm of the evening.
“Shopping a lume di candela” became an invitation to experience design through atmosphere, details, and conviviality.
At the center of the experience, the Magic Object candelabra reinterpreted a timeless form, transforming candlelight into a gesture of warmth, beauty, and connection.
