Colour emphasises the form. A harmonious interaction produces a comprehensive, clear and coherent room architecture. The colour choice, materials used and light arrangement create an atmosphere of homeliness. A warm mocha tone combined with magnolia coloured fronts, highlights several areas. It accentuates the interesting architectural concept with its inserted cupboard elements and repeated geometric forms.


The LEICHT kitchen CLASSIC-FS opens towards the living room. The island is positioned parallel to the wall-situated tall units. Both sides are visually connected through the use of open, matt brown shelf elements. The coloured shelf unit inserts are continued across the corner to the cupboard sides, giving the kitchen character and lightness.


New wall units, suspended from the ceiling are an innovative concept. The transition from kitchen to living area has been newly defined. The rooms are visually divided, yet maintaining open plan and transparency at the same time. The additional storage space is an extra bonus.


A ceiling blender provides the connection between wall unit and ceil-ing. Concealed behind are the technical mechanisms (i.e.ducting and light cables). The blender can be arranged to choice, either recessed or flush with the front and therefore ideally visually matches the floor units underneath. Thus floor and wall units form a single unit, the isle becoming a freestanding sculpture resting within itself. The symmetrical front arrangement of the floor and wall units emphasises the two dimensional appearance.


The island unit is a small, half-height room divider standing within the room. It has the character of a freestanding bar. It is – just as the shelf units – offset with mocha colour and therefore lightens the isle elegantly with its asymmetry. The uniform colours of fronts and finishing boards give the room divider the appearance of a closed cube. Its L-shape corresponds with the L-shaped arrangement of the magnolia coloured island wall units. This geometrical architectural solution is maintained by the shelf units in the tall unit run.


The continuous design concept creates ease and harmony. The LED-spots, integrated in the open shelf units provide a homely and decorative light. An effect that is accentuated through the warm mocha tone of the surround and the matt lacquering. The 1.7 cm thick island worktop of light sand quartz material and the lining shelves of the wall units, matching in form, provide an ideal combination.
