Creating a kitchen with sleek, clear surfaces can be harder than it looks. When there is a lot of storage space, it becomes easier to minimise clutter.

He¤fele has a range of storage solutions that appear as regular cupboards, but provide plenty of extra hidden space. The Magic Corner storage solution is one example. Shelves are attached to the cupboard front, while a following mechanism draws rear shelves out from their position in the corner.

Another option is the Swing Pull-out pantry, which can hold 70kg of weight and swivels both ways for all-round access.

Designed in Germany, He¤fele uses Arenaplus easy-clean, non-slip surfacing, so items will not move around inside the cupboards.

Kitchens can be noisy places, so He¤fele has adopted SoftStopp as an industry standard. This technology dampens the final action of opening and closing cupboards.
