Interior Design for the kitchen

Interior Design by SieMatic. A New Generation in Kitchen Planning.

The world is growing closer together, borders are being transcended and cultures are blending. This phenomenon is most pleasantly manifested in the kitchen. Tuscan olive oil is placed next to Thai lemongrass; the espresso machine stands next to the wok; and Central European, Mediterranean and Asian influences form exciting fusions. But not just in terms of culinary themes is the kitchen the place in which to celebrate your personal tastes to your hearts content. Also in terms of planning and design, creativity has the upper hand here. That is why SieMatic today creates innovative solutions with options which far surpass those of classic kitchen planning in terms of floor plan, ergonomics, colours or materials which were never before used in this way in kitchens. A development which advances the international trends in architecture and interior design. We call it interior design for the kitchen.

Less is more: Rigorous reduction to the essentials.

Is it the torrent of images and information flooding us from the media? Is it the diversity of offers, fashions and trends? Is it the speed at which things change? While the range of possibilities is widening, it is becoming obvious that often less can be more. It is in this spirit that new forms of living and furnishing are developed too that are more than ever characterised by a standard of individuality. They are marked by a decisive return to the essential, the resolute doing away with the superfluous, and the liberation from many conventional concepts not least that of the kitchen as a delimited functional space.

SieMatic SL Where open, cosy solutions are sought, the SieMatic SL is at home: its clear design opens up a new space for furnishing. It allows for generous plans even in small areas and makes it possible to integrate the kitchen into the living space. Furthermore, it brings out the essential the superior quality of the material and the perfection of its workmanship.

SieMatic SL The style of this kitchen programme is one of rigorously detached elegance: a striking design of clear surfaces and lines, without superficial decorative elements and ornamental frills, even entirely without handles and knobs. The handle recess sets distinctive marks: never interrupted by cupboard elements, it underscores the SieMatic SLs strict lines.

A lot looks good at first glance, but good design is more.

The world is full of products with a superficial attraction which rapidly fades. Good and valid design is not created until something is well thought-out and well made and thus looks good. Furniture with a high quality of design never goes out of fashion, but often becomes a classic. This includes not only chairs, tables or lamps, but also some of SieMatics developments: kitchen systems and elements which have carved themselves a niche in the history of product design. That is why, in terms of design at SieMatic, we not only generate many new developments, but also enhance existing ones: a whole range of SieMatic kitchens, which are today regarded as particularly attractive and modern, ushered in design epochs for the kitchen many years ago. Their proportions, colours and materials are characteristic in a new way; their other qualities are well known and well established.

SieMatic SE 7007 SR Timeless appearance and functionality; a real classic and yet brand-new: The SieMatic SE 7007, a range with a design which was regarded as a trendsetter back in the 1990s and which has now been ingeniously reinterpreted. With many innovative details, it opens up new, contemporary perspectives for interior design and yet still retains its original purpose: a kitchen for all the senses.

13

SieMatic SE 7007 SR The characteristic features of this range, such as the frame design, the clean lines and the mix of high-quality materials, are consciously retained in the new design. The modern, harmonious appearance is characterized by generously inset maple or elm, and sleeker, characteristic frames which are perfectly mitered with a classic finishing technique. The warm naturalness is accentuated by surfaces with high-quality varnish and glass.

SieMatic: Its Not Just the Prices Which Are Attractive.

This statement is backed up by the many awards which SieMatic kitchens have received. For example, the iF Award of the Industry Forum Design Hanover, the reddot Award of the North Rhine Westphalia Design Center or the Good Design Award of the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design. SieMatic has already received such awards for a wide range of kitchens and fittings: for the legendary SieMatic 6006, for the SieMatic module kitchen, for the new SieMatic onWall system for wall and niche design, for the SieMatic aluminum fittings in drawers and chests of drawers, and for MultiMatic, the flexible interior design system which is only available from SieMatic. Of course, we are very pleased about so many official accolades. Because they are confirmation for everyone who has always said: A SieMatic is worth the investment.

17

SieMatic 6006 As soon as it was premiered in 1960 it caused a sensation. The most popular kitchen of its time, the SieMatic 6006 was developed further to become the first kitchen in the world to feature integrated strip handles, and today has reasserted itself as an ultra modern contemporary the perfect example of design quality that SieMatic has practised for over forty years to make living and working in the kitchen much more enjoyable.

19

SieMatic 6006 The straight lines characterising the design of the SieMatic 6006 bear testimony to a unique precision and consistency. Distinctive design details are the integrated strip handles of matt aluminium and the gentle sweep of the door edges, which has also been adopted for the fully glazed doors in the new overhead cabinets. Moreover, the original SieMatic 6006 has today adopted a modern uniqueness provided by new colours and metal surfaces.

21

Love of Detail Never Goes out of Fashion.

If you can also detect the fine differences, you will keep on discovering things in your SieMatic that will fill you with pleasure and conviction. This quite special love for detail starts with the technical perfection behind the scenes and continues all the way to the design of the surfaces. This is particularly evident in the SieMatic kitchens of the farmhouse style: each and every design element bears testimony to the feeling for style shown by the handcrafted workmanship that has become so rare in our times and that give these kitchens their incomparable charm. The unique combination of advanced technology and cosy warmth so typical of SieMatic has never failed to fire admirers of the farmhouse style.
23

SieMatic SC 46 In the category of farmhouse kitchens SieMatic has traditionally taken the leading position with a wide range of offers that has repeatedly been expanded with charming new interpretations of this popular style. The current programmes SieMatic SC 46 and SC 47 are characterised by emphatic clarity of form and fresh, harmonious colours and materials. At the same time, it offers surprises in the form of details employed specifically as a reminder of the good old times.

SieMatic Painters Collection The name immediately tells you what makes these exclusive kitchens from the SieMatic Painters Collection so unique: the paint with the antique look is applied meticulously by hand, coat by coat, according to the paint and wipe techniques of the 19th century. This, however, does not mean that the ornate style of these furnishings cannot be used for cooking: a last coat of kitchen-proof lacquer renders the surfaces particularly insensitive and easy to clean.

27

Where only limited space is available, more ideas are needed per square centimetre.

If you think that the functionality and attractiveness of a kitchen depends on the floor space or the available budget, then a talk with your SieMatic adviser will quickly and thoroughly disabuse you of this false belief. At SieMatic you will learn that skilful planning above all is a question of intelligent ideas and the care taken in the design of elements, of which SieMatic can offer an extraordinarily wide range. You will see that even average conditions are no hindrance to the development of above-average solutions. And you will realise that even the smallest kitchen can be a SieMatic.
29

SieMatic concept10 Even our most compact planning solutions present all the quality features that are needed to make a SieMatic out of a kitchen. This is verified, for example, by the SieMatic concept10, a new planning concept that was developed specifically for the constraints of limited space ideal for all those wanting to economise on the highest level, i.e. without sacrifice to perfect workmanship, ease of use, and individual design.

31

SieMatic concept10 Intelligent concepts are becoming increasingly compact. Not just when it comes to new technologies, but also when it comes to living. For kitchen planning this means highly efficient use of areas coupled with individual design. concept10 provides you with a range of contemporary SieMatic kitchen programs with numerous planning and design options, which also lead to compact solutions in terms of budget.

Take Every Liberty when Designing Your Living Space.

Planning with SieMatic means being able to live in and furnish your environment according to your own ideas. Not everyone sees the ideal kitchen as a more or less self-contained functional room in the classical sense. More and more people are deciding for the new, generous architectural concepts that facilitate the reinterpretation of space and the creation of smooth transitions to the living quarters. And even if you want to create a completely individualised living environment completely free of conventions, youll find that SieMatic can take you that crucial step further. After all, where else will you find a greater variety of programmes and styles? And who else provides planning concepts that allow you to redefine the relationship between kitchen and living room?
35

SieMatic International Style With International Style SieMatic has developed a product programme that can be integrated consistently in contemporary indoor planning for the kitchen and beyond. Typical design elements are the horizontal play of lines, the generously dimensioned glass cabinet doors, the extreme thickness of the work surface, the range of selected colours and materials, and the Arkus system acting as a homely frame for furnishing elements.

New Scope to Develop Your Personality.

In our industrialized and highly efficient times, many things are losing their individuality. Thus it is even more conceivable that each and every one of us wants to allow scope for his or her personal lifestyle. And the kitchen is playing an increasingly significant role. Because its position has fundamentally changed in the last decades. It has long since ceased to be the non-descript setting for laborious tasks and instead become the expression of individual lifestyle. SieMatic kitchens are characterized by a particularly rich variety of designs. The selection of colours, shapes and materials means there is something for everyone and provides a one-of-a-kind spectrum of planning options. After all, everyone is unique. And thats why every SieMatic kitchen is, too.
39

SieMatic ManufakturDesign is new and represents the maximum individuality of design. Because it gives you 1950 new colours to play with: the varnish colours from the Natural Colour System NCS, an internationally renowned colour system from Scandinavia, which is highly regarded by architects and interior designers. Thanks to its finely defined palette of shades, it is excellently suited for kitchen designs with a particularly homely and elegant atmosphere. With the SieMatic systems with matt or shiny varnished surfaces, you can choose from a unique selection of shades in addition to the broad spectrum of attractive standard shades, which means that creativity knows practically no limits. Be inspired by the SieMatic kitchen systems in varnish and the sophisticated ideas of your SieMatic adviser.

A SieMatic contains more than the usual.

What happens when not only the love of your life moves in but also his or her 116-piece family silver? Or when a large bachelor pad turns into a little family household? Inevitably then, babys compact jar food will eventually give way to bumper-pack cornflakes boxes. And one day all the children will have flown the nest. Then the time has come to enjoy your collection of good wines, be it as a twosome or with good friends. Your kitchen can be prepared for all this, provided it is a SieMatic. Because it harbours one of the best ideas since the invention of storage space: MultiMatic, a new interior design system that can be put together, supplemented and modified individually. Any time, without any problems and by you.
