Sesamo
The hidden kitchen becomes part of the space, merging with the architecture, and combining a modular build with a freedom to create in an infinite array of finishes and details. Sesamo offers aesthetic minimalism, with its elegant single-movement opening, while the pocket-door mechanism provides versatility, performing many functions: the hidden kitchen allows you to keep changing your interior design to suit the surroundings.
The pocket doors have an assisted insertion and extraction motion, meaning they slide smoothly, while concealing practical units behind. Oven and microwave unit shown in the image.
Pocket doors combine sleek aesthetics with a modular design. A tall unit with one or two doors can be equipped to suit your design requirements. The concealed pocket doors with soft close can be used to conceal multiple configurations, from kitchen units to laundry units. These units can be used side by side, to create the perfect composition for your space and needs.

The inspiration
Behind the scenes
Like the curtains of a theatre stage, Sesamo opens up with one smooth, fluid movement, to new designs. Behind, it hides all the practical features of a fully functional kitchen. The cover panel dresses the kitchen, giving it an elegant look both when open and closed. The freely configurable unit behind takes centre stage, with LED lighting to create atmosphere. One simple movement to part the stage curtains reveals much more than a kitchen: it unveils a new concept of living and a new way of experiencing the space.
