As architect George August Escoffier once stated, “A good kitchen is the basis of happiness.” Our philosophy is that a kitchen is more than just a place to cook. So much of our time is spent in our kitchen each day. Most family discussions tend to take place there. An ergonomic kitchen is an upgrade to your quality of life. German engineers are known for creating the smartest kitchens in the world.
The Golden Rule of Functionality
The heart of a home is the kitchen- a place where we eat, entertain, and interact. The daily routine relies on the kitchen in many aspects: morning coffee, packing lunch, family meals, evening drinks. A kitchen can even serve as an extension to the office. Custom German kitchens are organized in a way that supports a peaceful environment.
Consider The Golden Rule of Kitchen Functionality: The work triangle. In this type of layout, the sink, stove and refrigerator would form a triangle if lines were drawn connecting them. No structure, such as a kitchen island, should obstruct this triangle by more than a few inches. Our German kitchen designers organize clear pathways to what you cook, clean, and store.
A Culture of Precision
German culture is very organized by nature. Their standards are extremely precise for anything manufactured in Germany. German kitchens are recognized not only for their high quality and long lasting build, but their organization that innovates the rest of the world. For example, Leicht has won the prestigious iF Product Design Award seven times during the past ten years. Most recently, the Xtend+ motorized kitchen blinds system received this high honor, along with the Plus X Award and Interior Innovation Award for the space-saving concept.
Kitchen Personalization
A kitchen should always by functional as well as beautiful. The way that drawer and cabinet interiors are organized also plays a huge part in this. Leicht drawers are fitted with custom drawer dividers, many of which are adjustable and easily removed for cleaning. There are even special options that hold wine bottles, knife blocks, and large pans. In the German tradition, our designers always work with you to spot ways that your kitchen can accommodate you.
