14/10/2020 - STEININGER‘s ambition is to constantly develop their own creations and to steadily perfect them through new technologies. SLIM has recently been revised.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Kitchen block and cupboard element are fully covered with a 3-millimetre thin anodised aluminium surface. The anodising process coats the surface with an extremely resistant protective layer, only a few nanometres thin. „Our aim was to create an even more robust and durable surface,“ designer Martin Steininger explains, who has already designed the original version of SLIM. The aluminium parts are precisely manufactured in terms of mechanical engineering. The precision of the front gaps corresponds to those used in vehicle construction. STEININGER is using a protected process for the first time to enable an even more precise design for SLIM.
THE FUNCTION
STEININGER is convinced that the kitchen is the communicative centre of a home. „This is where life happens - the family cooks together, friends meet up to have a glass of wine. It‘s a communication room.“ The demands imposed on a kitchen are as individual as this communication - that‘s why all STEININGER kitchens are made to measure and their functions are precisely tailored to customer requirements: Perhaps an illuminated glass niche with a wine shelf invites to linger with a good glass, and to taste some cheese. The gas stove slides back to make available the spice collection and cooking utensils - everything by gentle one touch pressure; the storage space is perfectly organised and used to the maximum.
THE LOOK
„The newly developed folding technology allows us to use the aluminium not only on a flat surface, but also around the corners,“ Martin Steininger explains. This makes the entire kitchen look as if it is all of a piece. Details have been worked out even more finely and let the entire kitchen appear in an even more exact shape and silkier surface. Handles are invisibly recessed, work surfaces merge seamlessly into the sink. From natural silver to champagne to matt black, SLIM is available in 7 colour shades, as well as with a sanding structure surface.
