With a light touch

It's all very well having an eye-catching kitchen, but good aesthetics should never be at the expense of functionality. Doors and drawers that open effortlessly are vital, and provide easy access to all those essential items in a modern kitchen.

Blum, the company responsible for many now-commonplace kitchen storage innovations, continues to develop new products designed to complement contemporary kitchens.

The new Blum Tip-On mechanical opening support system for handle-less doors and drawers is a prime example. With many modern kitchens now featuring sleek, flush cabinetry with no handles, the Blum Tip-On system ensures doors and drawers can be opened easily, with just a light touch. Doors instantly open wide enough to provide a good view of the cabinet interior.

The Tip-On system features a magnet latch that works with a catch plate to ensure secure closing even when the door is closed with force.

Blum has also released an effortless new bifold lift system for cabinet doors. The Aventos system is balanced to ensure that even heavy fronts are made to feel weightless. The system, which incorporates Blumotion technology, means doors can be opened easily, and can be positioned at the desired height. Even if the door fronts are pushed with force, the Blumotion technology ensures they close softly and quietly.

Another recent development from Blum is the sink cabinet, which does away with the awkward, often under-utilised space beneath the kitchen sink. A U-shaped drawer allows easy access to cleaning utensils and products.

Blum has also built a reputation for its novel corner drawer system. The Space Corner makes use of awkward corner cabinetry, and can be customised to suit.
