The language of the materials

Craft knowledge in kitchen design

Understanding Materials as a Foundation

In kitchen design, understanding materials is fundamental. Each material has its own character, specific properties, and unique expressiveness. The art lies in recognizing these properties and using them optimally in design.

Wood

Wood brings warmth and naturalness to every kitchen. As a living material, it responds to its environment and develops its own patina over the years. In processing, we pay particular attention to the grain and structure of the wood. The cutting direction and arrangement of the wood surfaces are done in such a way that a harmonious overall picture emerges. The selection of the appropriate wood is oriented to the specific requirements of everyday kitchen use. Oak and walnut, which are known for their robustness and characteristic appearance, have proven particularly effective. Through careful surface treatment, we protect the wood from moisture and wear.

Metal

Metals bring technical precision and timeless aesthetics to kitchen design. Steel impresses with its durability and clear form language. In processing, we use various surface techniques to achieve the desired tactile and optical effect. The combination of different metals requires special craftsmanship. Not only the technical execution plays a role, but also the knowledge of the properties of the different materials. Thermal expansion, corrosion resistance, and material thickness must be taken into account during construction.

Natural Stone

Natural stone gives every kitchen character and durability. Each slab is a unique piece with its own pattern and structure. When selecting, we pay attention to specific properties such as hardness, acid resistance, and porosity. These factors determine not only the longevity but also the maintenance and daily use. The processing of natural stone requires precise craftsmanship. Cuts and edges are executed in a way that respects the natural structure of the stone. The surface treatment is tailored to the respective stone and its purpose.

Interaction of Materials

The art of kitchen design lies in the harmonious interaction of materials. Wood, metal, and stone complement each other in their properties and effects. It is not only about the aesthetic component but also about practical aspects such as durability and maintenance. The joints of different materials require special attention. Here, craftsmanship expertise shows in precise transitions and lasting connections. Temperature differences and material movements are taken into account in the construction.

Sustainable Material Choice

In material selection, we think long-term. We rely on materials that not only convince aesthetically but also enable responsible use of resources. This also means that we pay attention to the origin and processing of our materials.

Timeless Design

The careful selection and processing of materials is the basis for durable kitchens. We understand the natural aging processes of materials and take these into account in design. Thus, kitchens are created which maintain their quality even after years of intensive use. The knowledge of materials and their properties is a continuous process. We combine traditional craftsmanship with current findings from material research. This allows us to develop innovative solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
