Kin & Company Bookcases

American

Kin & Company is a collaborative studio led by cousins Joseph Vidich and Kira de Paolacreate. The firm’s contemporary metal furniture has a pronounced edgy aesthetic — for each project, there is a focus on adventurously bold forms and an integration of lavish materials. The Brooklyn, New York-based brand brings an innovative and diverse approach to its minimalist designs, with the studio's sculptural furnishings frequently doubling as provocative works of art.  

Kin & Company launched in 2012. Vidich, an architect with a deep knowledge of metalworking and fabrication, graduated from Columbia University. De Paolo is an interior designer with experience in high-end furniture fabrication. Vidich and de Paola both stress that nothing is more important than the process behind the design of each of their creations. 

Kin & Company’s Thin series comprises geometrically rich, anthropomorphic metal seats and tables made of bent steel that are inspired by the tables of Henrik Ødegaard, while their Crescent series is influenced by the overlapping circles, arcs and planes of Russian Constructivism and pushes the limits of their chosen material even further. 

Kin & Company’s Thin series was a finalist in NYCxDesign’s “Made in the Boroughs” category in 2017 and an entrant to the WantedDesign festival that year. It was also featured in the Sight Unseen OFFSITE digital fair. The brand collaborated with Wallpaper Projects on the Patina Studies wallpaper, which was showcased at the Architectural Digest Design Show in New York City. The show featured many of Kin & Company’s pieces, including one of their Cascade mobiles.

On 1stDibs, find Kin & Company tables, seating, mirrors and more.
