Leicht: Classic

The warm and homely radiation of natural hues form the basis for a harmonious and calm atmosphere. Kitchen planning follows this concept. Nothing extreme or flamboyant disturbs the overall appearance, everything falls easily into place. The function part of the kitchen becomes apparent only at the second glance. The rear of the isle towards the living area, arranged as a breakfast bar, looks like a sideboard through its uncluttered cupboard arrangement. The light wood décor “Tennessee walnut” is new in the “Orlando” programme and emphasises the transition to the living area in this layout. It is repeated in the table-top, the side panels and in the two tall, illuminated glass cupboards.

Highlight in the otherwise closed cupboard wall. The warm walnut colour proves to be a perfect addition to “magnolia”, a warm light off-white. This new colour tone is used here as a high gloss “Classic-FS” lacquered front as also used in several other LEICHT programmes. Visual support is given by the dark brown wall, free standing within the room. The electric appliances, integrated in this wall, are flanked by handle-less wall units in the light “magnolia” colour. The resulting horizontal line matches the cooking and rinsing isle. The lower lying “belt line” of the tall units is enhanced by new recessed griprails – a visual decentralization and alternative to the handle-less fronts. Hidden behind the large-scale cupboard doors is a well equipped storage space. The interior pullouts have decorative glass fronts.

Even the light in this kitchen has an active function: it gives the walnut elements even more warmth, spotlights bring the contents of the glass cupboards into the foreground and enliven the brown wall surface. The use of a new cupboard type creates attractive unit ends at the free-standing isle and the tall unit group. The 30 cm wide end cupboard has a mitred angled door which opens as a whole i.e. also to the side, thus giving an uninterrupted view of the elegant illuminated glass shelves. The end cupboards to the isle have plinth recesses at the sides, providing a harmonious combination across the corner. The new corner unit is flush with the plinth and end-filler of the tall units, providing a frame and thus a single, closed cupboard group.
