More kitchen in

less space

True beauty resides in simplicity, not
as a starting point but as the result of
a continuous process of thought and
refinement. Reaching this implies delving
deeply into essential aspects that are often
overlooked.
Reducing the thickness of the fronts and
sides makes it possible to create cabinets
that are more stylised, lightweight and
elegant. This makes it possible to minimise
their impact on the house’s architecture
without losing capacity or resistance.

Understanding that each element must add

without taking away, occupying just the
necessary space for it to perform its function.
Making sure that nothing is superfluous
but that nothing is missing. Accepting that
what is superficial takes away from what is
important, whereas what is necessary adds
functionality, balance and harmony.

Making the kitchen
the heart of the home
The kitchen is the meeting point in the home
par excellence. People have always gathered
in its warmth to get away from their daily
routines and share their thoughts, concerns
and experiences whilst preparing or enjoying
a meal.
Strengthening this characteristic demands
opening the kitchen up to other rooms,
getting rid of obstacles that isolate it in
order to connect it to the structure of the
house, making it the heart of the home.
In this sense, the kitchen cabinets play
a major role. The pure shapes and plain
fronts provide simplicity. The resources for
integrating appliances and storage solutions
provide discretion. The soft and pleasant
finishes provide a beauty that is not only
seen but also felt.
Together, the cabinets help transform
what is just a space into a room that is
comfortable and interactive, returning the
kitchen its pride of place in the home.

Exterior and interior
beauty

The concern for beauty is not only about
the exterior but also about the interior. The
surface creates expectations that will only
be met if what is inside works correctly.
The interior of a cabinet adds beauty when
it is coherent with the aesthetics of the
ensemble it is part of but also, and above
all, when it makes organising and finding its
contents easier.
In the kitchen, organising doesn’t only imply
that each element is kept in a determined
place but also that it is at arm’s reach when
needed. The design of our interiors, that
start with the study of work flows and times,
are an effective answer to this need.
The base units, structured in
three levels of drawers, make
organising and finding the
contents easier.
The top drawer, made in olive ash, holds the utensils that
are most frequently used in the kitchen. As it doesn’t have
duplicated sides and uses the base as the support for the
accessories, it offers more capacity and weighs less.
The interior accessories complement the
drawers, adding order and functionality.
The pull-outs make cleaning the drawers
easier, whilst others, such as the knife rack
or spice rack are interchangeable and can
be chosen to suit the users’ preferences.
The double drawers make it possible to classify food,
tableware and large items such as pots and frying pans.
Their sides are the same colour as the body of the unit,
creating an aesthetically uniform composition.
The sink unit brings together recycling bins
and an interior drawer for storing cleaning
utensils in a reduced space.
The interior drawers, found in the base
area of the tall units, also help in the
organisation and location of contents.
Light, an essential ingredient
in the kitchen
The furniture helps turn light into an
essential element for working and enjoying
the kitchen in comfort.
A good layout of the cabinets favours
the entrance of light and its diffusion all
throughout the room. The finishes boost or
tone down its influence, creating contrasts,
luminous spaces or spaces that are warm
and cosy. The integrated, discrete and
practical, lighting solutions make tasks
easier and act as ambient lighting.
The LED lighting, built into the base of the
wall units, offers light that is continuous,
uniform and doesn’t dazzle.
Santos’ exclusive LED profile, includes
sockets and a slit for accessories. It can
also be totally personalised with decorative
panels adding more chromatic uniformity to
the composition.
