As living spaces grow more upscale, the functionality and detailing of unseen areas are emerging as key elements of kitchen design. In step with this trend, Sugatsune Korea Co., Ltd. proposes premium kitchen solutions that satisfy both aesthetics and practicality through function-focused 'hardware' designed around the user's workflow. The series introduced here is not a mere list of products but a set of application examples for kitchen hardware built around 'the user's movement.' By implementing opening/closing mechanisms and operational feel optimized for each area, the focus was placed on improving work efficiency and the flow of movement within the kitchen. Representative examples include: ▲The ALT-ST20 pocket door system, which allows the door to be slid to either side to fully open the storage space. In particular, because the door does not protrude forward, it does not interfere with movement, and it can make even a narrow kitchen space look neat and spacious. ▲The 'LIN-X Mono Flat Hinge' achieves smooth opening and closing without taking up space, even in narrow passageways. ▲The 'RAN-3 Upward Hinge' lets you lift the door of an upper cabinet open with a light touch; it stays put wherever you stop it and then closes slowly. ▲The '2020 Slide Rail' features a clean appearance with concealed rails and a smooth operational feel. ▲The '388-D Support Arm,' installed under the kitchen island, can normally be folded away and unfolded only when needed, making it useful for expanding the work space. Its damper function allows for safer use, and it is well suited to the recent trend of compact housing and multipurpose space design. In addition, ▲the 'Built-in Waste Bin (AD-GD),' which captures both hygiene and convenience without spoiling the appearance, is an example that reflects Sugatsune's philosophy that 'the unseen parts determine the completeness of a space.'
Some of this hardware can be viewed firsthand at Sugatsune's showroom, and certain products can be experienced in person at client sites through the mobile 'Showroom Car.'
