Personality plus

Modern kitchen design oftenpresents a strong architectural component this is especially noticeable in high-end German kitchens, such as the one shown on these pages.

The kitchen was designed and manufactured by Leicht Kitchens of Germany, a firm that has won numerous international technical and design awards since it was established in 1928.

Marc Hochstadt, senior designer of Leicht Kitchens of Germany in Sydney, says the kitchen exemplifies the innovation, precision and high functionality that define every Leicht Kitchens project.

"The doors, for example, feature lacquered planked wood with a subtle horizontal grain, and a four-sided metal profile that is slightly chamfered on the inside. The cabinetry is teamed with 20mm Caesarstone benchtops in Shitake. In contrast, the island is defined by a 60mm-thick asymmetrical framing element in Basalt Grey acrylic lacquer.

"We also introduced a solid lacquered frame around the Sub-Zero refrigerators, to create a centrepiece."

Other key features include LED lighting above and below the cabinets, a glass-sided slide-out pantry, a tall unit for appliance storage, and Leicht's Q-Box for Drawers solid oak drawer inserts.
