The design is about flat planes and clean lines that are create by the 45-degree angles side panels, those belong to the cabinetry edges, as well as the refrigerator door, the wine cooler and the upper cabinets.
The cooktops and the countertops that are made of stainless steel are build with separate swing-doors, the stainless-steel drawers have soft-closing mechanisms. From the world`s finest appliance manufacturer, Gaggenau comes the fridge, wine cooler, dishwashers, cooktops and ovens.
