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.
