Kitchen Cabinets with Glider-style Doors

28 August 2007

With most kitchen cabinets, you grab the knob or pull and swing the door outward. Pretty standard stuff. That’s just the way things are done, right? Ah, but for those who like to buck the trends, there are other options out there…

These snazzy kitchen cabinets from Valcucine have doors that open “like the flight of a glider.”

“The door of the Ala wall unit is suspended by a mechanism which, being free of hinges, springs or pistons, makes harmonic movement possible, wrapped in silence like the flight of a glider. The door opens with a light upward touch, creating an underlying space that is ergonomic and functional.”

Aside from the nifty design, you won’t have to worry about anybody banging an arm or a head against an open door with these cabinets.
