Custom Kitchen Island
Working alongside Michelin-recommended chefs, we saw an opportunity to add personalized design to a core piece of the kitchen: the island. After years of producing and installing custom islands, we developed two distinct paths:
Path 1: Obra Signature Series (our 4 pre-designed islands)
Path 2: Fully Custom Design using a list of 30+ modules for clients who wish to build their island from scratch.
Every module is based on best practices in storage, food-prep, and hosting — fine-tuned with the help of Michelin-recommended chefs to understand their vision for designing the ultimate residential kitchen island (see our collabs below!).
We believe in applying design to your rituals by offering you the complete freedom to choose the perfect modules to elevate those unique experiences. Every Obra Island is built to order, ensuring each is a unique, handmade piece, crafted by our team with expert care. Obra delivers and installs islands throughout the USA and Mexico.
