“Minimal designs with completely straight and simple lines. In the upper cabinets, large single-piece doors that can be opened and closed by electric and remote control or fully touch-operated mechanisms, handles embedded inside the door or hidden by profiles.
Although the dominance of white is accepted by everyone, surfaces in cream or ivory colors softened with natural wood; black of smoke-color masses supported with steel, aluminum and glass elements on concrete walls; contrast views created with a yellow, red or green panel or door in a kitchen dominated with cold colors such as dark gray.
Mostly glossy acrylic and lacquered surfaces. Exotic woods such as ebony and teak as well as wooden surfaces as walnut, oak and cherry with their natural colors, watering and patterns.
Large volume pantry cabinets for large storage needs, deep drawers, glass usage mainly in drawer interiors and shelves, drawer and rail systems that self-open effortlessly by a light touch, and lighting system for drawer and cabinet interiors.
For counters, steel that can be thinned up to one-two centimeters, acrylics made of quartz and hard materials, compact laminates or natural materials such as marble and granite that are used in thick masses.
Sinks level with counters. Moving faucets, steel or acrylic sinks where faucets are folded in when not in use and that have an appearance of a flat counter with the cover on the place of the faucet.
A class, saving, environment friendly built-in appliances that consume less energy and less water, refrigerators equipped with technologies that store food healthily for longer periods of time, steam ovens for healthier cooking, touch-operated glass and ceramic stoves.
