The appearance of a calm room is the main feature of this straight-lined simple planning which creates a special harmony with the skilful blending of wood and plain-décor fronts and the selective mix of colours and materials. Floor units and an isle from the programme PINTA atlantic grey, a new rather cool grey tone with a medium degree of lightness, form a solid base. The deliberate block appearance of the isle has been achiev-ed through a worktop which matches the colour of the kitchen fronts. The horizontal front division of the handle-less floor units is continuous around the corner providing a harmonious appearance throughout. The friendly yet cool acacia décor from the programme ORLANDO provides a particularly homely addition. The grain match is vertical and combined with the horizontal run of the floor units, creates a vision of suspense. The floor units, which cut into the tall unit run, provide a rather nice transition. Oven and dishwasher are hidden from sight; the door of the tall unit slides sideways alongside the carcase giving unhindered access to the interior during kitchen work. Tall and wall units have been designed without lining shelves, thus contributing to the overall mood of calm in the appearance of the kitchen.
This kitchen stands in the centre of the living room. A freestanding wall provides the division between kitchen and living area and sets an architectonic highlight. The fitted wall and floor units are accessible from both sides. The space between remains open, the overall view intact. The new performance-strong LED lights have been integrated into the lining shelves of the wall units across the whole cupboard width. They offer a homely yet strong light, similar to halogen spots. LED lighting saves energy and on the whole will last the lifetime of a kitchen. The wide dispersing spots are located in a sophisticated metal housing with an acrylic glass cover and are inserted into the lining shelf and therefore almost surface flush. The housing can be easily accessed to enable an exchange in the event of a possible LED defect.
The worktop has an overhang at the rear, thus providing an additional bar seat area in the living room. The isle also has a solid bar top in the front material, set on top of the worktop. The handle-less fronts of the isle extend downwards to the floor, concealing the typical kitchen plinth.
The wood tone of the interior harmonises with the light front décor. All inner pullouts have decorative glass sides and an automatic opening mechanism. There is also a new waste material system, available for all sink and waste units. The high quality plastic containers are integrated in a lacquered metal frame, seated on the cupboard frame, providing an elegant closed appearance.
