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.
OPTIMISING YOUR KITCHEN DESIGN: TIPS AND ADVICE FROM THE PRO!
Our designers accompany you from the first stage of planning by analyzing your space to determine the configuration best suited to your needs. To do this, they rely on five main kitchen configurations: the U-shaped kitchen, the L-shaped kitchen, the I-shaped (or linear) kitchen, the hallway kitchen (or laboratory) and the kitchen with a central island. This choice is essential to optimize the functionality, ergonomics and aesthetics of your future layout.
THE UNAVOIDABLE TREND OF THE "BACK KITCHEN"
The back kitchen, which is becoming increasingly popular in custom-made kitchens, consists of creating a space separate from the main kitchen to group practical tasks. This concept preserves an open and welcoming kitchen while optimizing storage, meal preparation and household chores.
