Downtown Design exhibitor launches exquisite range of kitchens inspired by motion and adaptability
The definitive German luxury kitchen company, Hacker (est 1898), launches its new concept for 2016: ‘Kitchen in Motion’, combining colour, texture, movement and with its signature sleek design.
Designer of the new kitchen concept, Jochen Flacke, has turned his idea of a modern, flexible kitchen into reality. The kitchen takes the themes of motion and adaptability to extremes, using Hacker’s patented ‘Silent Move’ technology to create a stunning moveable worktop.
‘Kitchen in Motion’ has been designed to take into account changing lifestyles, with Middle East and Asia Pacific regions specifically in mind. “Our environment is changing”, says Jochen Flacke. “Spaces are being used in a more versatile and efficient way, and the kitchen has again moved towards being the centre of life. Previously in kitchen design, this was only considered in isolated cases. It was important for us to rethink the outward appearance of the kitchen.”
Producer of the world’s only tropicalized kitchen, Hacker’s kitchens produced for the Middle East and Asia are specially sealed and treated with an anti-fungal layer during the manufacturing process, using a sealant that expands and stretches with temperature. This makes the cabinets less penetrable by moisture, therefore increasing durability.
Highlights of the new collection include:
40/30
This stunning kitchen in Pearl Grey shows two elements that use motion to enhance their ergonomics, design and functionality. The sliding-door cabinets open easily, close gently and give the architecture of the room a spacious feel. And with the individually adjustable worktop, the counter can be optimised to suit whatever kitchen task needs doing.
70/50
This kitchen in the stylish Black Star colourway is totally devoid of handles, without a single door pull or strip handle in the entire kitchen. All the pullouts and cabinets open automatically with touch sensors so a gentle press will activate a servo/motor and open doors.
