SIEMATIC BEAUXARTS.02
designed by: Mick De Giulio

Chicago-based designer Mick De Giulio, with whom SieMatic collaborated with in
designing the original, revolutionary SieMatic BeauxArts collection in 2006, helped
create the new, redefined design that introduces new elements and proportions,
and incorporates new materials, colors, and door styles. Eclectic elements, the
signature of Beaux Arts design, are evident in the SieMatic BeauxArts.02 stainless
steel and glass door wall cabinets with ebonized walnut interiors. Dark ebonized
walnut flat door fronts with gloss finish provide a counterpoint and offer subtle
contrast to sterling grey, framed drawers accented with recessed, polished nickel
handles. Symmetrical, sliding steel drawer fronts in the cooking area interplay with
flat wall-panel tall cabinets with polished sterling grey glass fronts that have
reduced depth to create a three-dimensional effect, while offsetting the
framed doors.

A unique detail—mirrored toe-kick—creates the illusion that the base cabinets
are floating above the floor. Angled, faceted frame doors in stainless steel flank
the range and team with stainless steel and glass door wall cabinets on the
opposite side. Streamlined side panels and 1-cm countertops are understated
by design and complement the signature SieMatic BeauxArts ventilation hood
with its lacquered glass cover, while complementing the thicker 5-cm Stone
Design countertop with elliptical edge for additional volume and new handle
in polished nickel.

P'7340
designed by: Porsche Design

From the racetrack into the kitchen....
As the world's first kitchen manufacturer,
Poggenpohl uses carbon for styling the
fronts. Familiar from motor racing, the
ultra-light yet extremely strong and
temperature-resistant carbon fibre
composite is widely used today in
aerospace but also increasingly in
automotive engineering. Produced
in a complex process, carbon is an
exceptionally high-quality material.

For the carbon front of its Porsche
Design kitchen, the material is
laminated and applied to a glass
front. This additionally underscores
the carbon's three-dimensional
appearance. With its engineered
look, the P´7340 developed by
Porsche Design and Poggenpohl
has been seen as modern kitchen
for a primarily male audience ever
since it was launched three years
ago. Its handleless design and
combination of aluminium and
glass as materials with an industrial
feel now cut an even more exclusive
figure through the addition of carbon.

B3
designed by: Herbert H. Schultes
for bulthaup

The weightless appearance of bulthaup b3 is characterized by the lightness and clarity of its
construction and the thickness of its materials. The materials are as thin as possible and as strong
as necessary - 10 - 13 mm. The supporting idea, in the truest sense of the word, is the functional
wall. This is a wall that is placed in front of the actual wall, is made of steel carriers, can carry up
to 1 ton per meter and can be fitted with kitchen elements, built-in appliances, sideboards and
panels made from all kind of materials. The panels run horizontally, are up to 4 meters in length
and have a room-expanding, stylish effect.

The bulthaup b3 design is characterized by timelessness, functionality and a long service life. It
therefore offers the perfect basis for a calm, relaxed atmosphere. With bulthaup b3, the rooms
radiate uniformity without feeling restrictive. It creates a room-expanding, horizontal look and
is consistent right down to the last detail. www.bulthaup.com/

MARRON GLACEE
designed by: Bazzeo

Bazzeo, the environmentally conscious US manufacturer, is introducing its newest innovative
line, called “Marron Glace”. Made of reclaimed wood, cabinets are in a casing of Glass, and
are the first luxury kitchen of its kind made from recycled and recyclable materials.
Clean, Green and made in the USA.

“In designing this kitchen we were inspired by the French delicacy "Marron Glace" (glazed
chestnut). The idea was to create kitchen cabinets made of hardwood walnut floating in
glass cubes. Our goal was to bring lightness and sleekness to highly crafted wood cabinetry.
Just as any pinnacle gastronomic experience is also a visual one this kitchen celebrates
technology and functionality with exceptional elegance and grace. The result we hope
enhances the appetite and inspires culinary novelty,” says Eran Chen, Director of
ODA-Architecture, the designer of the new luxury line.

The interior casing including doors and drawer fronts, as well as paneling, are created using
a walnut reclaimed solid wood on certified MDF. Doors and drawers were finished using a
water-based, non-toxic stain. Besides the earth-friendly cabinetry, the presentation features
energy efficient appliances by Fagor and a quartz counter-top from CaesarStone.

With less waste during the manufacturing process as well as an extensive selection of eco-
sensitive materials to choose from, the Bazzèo kitchen can be designed for a green
environment without compromising on design. Bazzèo kitchens are manufactured in
Secaucus, New Jersey, using recycled and regenerated wood from certified resources
as well as the use of non-toxic laminates, aluminum, glass and technical veneers.

Kitchens by Bazzèo use only lumber, veneers and wood panels from fully managed and
sustainable forests. available at: www.bazzeo.com.

area. Our objective is to create fluidity between rooms, allowing transitions of functional
elements to achieve continuity around cooking and living, as well as technology and
aesthetics. ”The panel system, newly developed by SieMatic, is one of the central
elements of FloatingSpaces, made to seamlessly blend the kitchen and living
room into a single space.

The panel system is available in a wide selection from SieMatic’s extensive portfolio of
materials, which features natural woods and finishes that include matt and gloss lacquer,
in addition to versatile, high-quality laminate. Matching panel shelves offer numerous,
disparate possibilities for flexible wall designs with a selection of colors and materials to
create appealing accents. Functional elements are also available in different sizes,
lengths, and various materials, which are used in the same, or contrasting, tone as
the panel wall surface.. available at: www.siematic.us
