THE INVISIBLE DOOR: DISCREET ELEGANCE

In a contemporary kitchen layout, certain details make all the difference. The invisible door—also called a flush door—is a perfect example.

It allows you to elegantly conceal a walk-in pantry, a garage exit, or access to a laundry room, while maintaining perfect continuity with the surrounding cabinetry.

Designed to align perfectly with the kitchen cabinets or blend seamlessly into a paneled wall, the invisible door extends the lines of the cabinetry without any visible frame, molding, or traditional handle. When closed, it disappears completely into the overall design—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.

Our Colour of the Year is the result of deep thought.

Eggplant was the starting point for our new showroom kitchen, around which our entire 2025 palette was built. A rich, muted hue that embodies understated luxury and enduring elegance.

In this space, the aubergine lacquer dialogues with the shade of the wood in a subtle shade, creating a warm and enveloping atmosphere. The masterful contrast between brilliance and material evokes the hushed world of a cigar lounge, with its discreet refinement, deep tones and assumed comfort. A kitchen designed as a place of life, exchange and character — where every detail counts.
