Feature: Kitchens IDEAS FROM BLUM FOR A PRACTICAL KITCHEN T he lifespan of a kitchen is about 15 years or longer and is the most used room in the modern house. It’s important that it not only looks good but is practical too. Blum’s Requirement Research has shown that practical kitchens have three essential features: Simple workflows, optimal space usage and top quality motion. In short, workflow, space and motion which are the three cornerstones of Blum’s DYNAMIC SPACE concept which delivers ideas for practical kitchens. It has many well-thoughtout products for top functionality in every kitchen; such as the SPACE TOWER larder unit and know-how that can come in very handy in the early planning phase. For years, Blum has been researching the requirements of kitchen users worldwide. Fitting systems from Blum play a hidden but important role. Our products work within the furniture interior to ensure your design ideas become a reality. Fitting solutions from Blum make furniture easier to operate and provide a higher level of practicality and comfort. Blum strives to ensure that all lift, hinge, BOX and runner systems fulfil these requirements. In order to reach this goal, Blum has developed many different motion technologies. They make furniture not only practical, but also offer a number of new design possibilities. The quality of a kitchen does not depend on surface finishes alone. High quality fittings technology; such as the award winning AVENTOS lift systems, brings ease of use and a quality of motion to kitchens. Easy opening furniture with a feather-light glide and soft close, thanks to tried and tested technology, truly inspires. Quality of motion is quality of life. Blum’s innovative products and practical solutions for cabinets make everyday kitchen use easier, more enjoyable and facilitate kitchen planning.
