THE INVISIBLE DOOR: DISCREET ELEGANCE

In a contemporary kitchen design, certain details make all the difference. The invisible door — also known as a flush door — is a good example.

It elegantly conceals a walk-in pantry, an exit to the garage, or access to a laundry room, while maintaining perfect continuity with the surrounding cabinets.

Designed to align perfectly with kitchen cabinets or fit into a paneling wall, the invisible door extends the lines of the furniture, with no visible frames, moldings, or traditional handles. When closed, it disappears completely in the overall set — a choice that is both aesthetic and subtle.

The effect is even more spectacular when the door is:

  • Full-height, up to the ceiling, enhancing verticality and architectural elegance

  • Equipped with a push-to-open system, for handle-free opening with a simple gesture

This combination creates a perfect balance between sleek design and understated functionality.

This choice is essential to optimize the functionality, ergonomics and aesthetics of your future layout.
