There are innovations that you see... and others that you feel: that drawer that opens with a smooth movement, the door that slides effortlessly or the unit that adapts to your exact height... There is that invisible revolution that transforms the experience of your kitchen without you hardly noticing it.
There is no good design that leaves functionality aside and focuses solely on aesthetics. We are convinced that behind every flawless front, behind every trendy colour and perfect finish, there must be the technology to make everything work precisely and comfortably for people. If not, something very important is going wrong.
In this article we want to give a well-deserved place to those mechanisms and fittings that, although they would never collect hundreds of "likes" on social networks, are responsible for our kitchen furniture making a difference in your day-to-day life.
Today we would like to invite you to take a closer look at that hidden part of design: the mechanisms and fittings that make the difference in your day-to-day life.
Folding compasses
Folding compasses provide ease of movement with different types of compasses.
Tip On
Tip On
The Tip-On assisted opening system allows handle-less drawers and doors to be opened with light pressure. An innovation that translates into two immediate benefits: cleaner aesthetics and greater convenience.
This type of mechanism has become an essential ally for those looking for kitchens with pure lines, without sacrificing functionality. Because it's not just about design, it's about making your life easier every day.
Guías ocultas
Concealed runners and soft closing
There is something very satisfying about closing a drawer and hearing... nothing.
Soft-close systems are another of those small advances that transform the user experience. They dampen the final movement so that each door, drawer or module closes smoothly and quietly, avoiding bumps and extending the life of the furniture.
do we take it to another level? Our furniture drawers feature concealed pull-out slides for an even more refined visual experience.
Silentia *
Silentia + Hinge
Hinges are one of those elements that you hardly notice... until they fail. And as we do not compromise on the quality of our furniture, we opt for maximum precision solutions such as the Silentia hinges, designed to offer a smooth, silent and long-lasting movement in each opening.
This system allows wide openings (from 110º to 270º), adapting to different types of furniture and to the needs of each person. Its integrated deceleration technology, based on silicone oil dampers, ensures a perfect and constant closing, without knocks or noises, even after thousands of uses.
In addition, Silentia hinges have a speed selector, a small detail that makes the difference: it allows you to adjust the intensity of the closing depending on the weight and size of the door, always guaranteeing a controlled and stable movement.
Link
Folding Link
This is an opening system with a mechanism located on the sides of the wardrobe and is designed for hinged doors. It guarantees both smooth opening and closing of the door
The Link system is a mechanism located on the sides of the cabinet, designed for hinged doors. It guarantees both smooth, fluid and perfectly controlled opening and closing.
Its design is ideal for horizontal furniture, especially for those that will serve as a transition from the kitchen to the dining room or living room.
Kintai
Kintai
Kintai is a shelf support that is built into the structure of the furniture and is anti-tilt. Designed for decorative shelves (although they can also be installed inside any of our furniture), the Kintai brackets have complete stability and perfectly calculated resistance.
Its main advantage is its discretion: it is completely hidden from view, maintaining the purity of the lines of the design.
Libra
Libra
The Libra concealed hanger incorporates an anti-tilt locking system. It can support up to 75 kg in weight, offering strength, security and peace of mind.
This invisible hardware supports the weight of the suspended modules and maintains the perfect alignment of the composition. In addition, its internal adjustment system allows precise levelling of the furniture, ensuring a clean and stable installation.
Libra is proof that strength can also be invisible: behind the lightweight, floating design, there is meticulous engineering that ensures maximum strength and durability.
HKI
HKI
The HKI folding compass is fully integrated with the furniture and allows you to create new designs with high-quality aesthetics. This makes it the perfect solution for minimalist kitchens, where visual continuity and discreet fittings are essential.
Its compact structure offers total design freedom: it allows for different opening configurations, angles and resistances depending on the size or weight of the door. All this with a smooth, silent and perfectly balanced movement.
These are just some of the mechanisms and fittings that make up the soul of our furniture, but there are many more. If you want to know more about them, we recommend you to go to your nearest nearest OB Cocinas dealer.
