Rethinking the corner
CORNERSTONE: the innovative
corner cabinet solution from Vauth-Sagel
Appropriately and comfortably utilising existing spaces
There are corners in kitchens across the globe waiting to
be discovered. Because while many kitchens are designed
to incorporate corners, the existing space is frequently not
correctly exploited, neglected or even forgotten – in many
designs, the corners do not play a key role. Vauth-Sagel
thinks differently, Vauth-Sagel rethinks the corner: with the
CORNERSTONE corner cabinet solutions, the owner-run
family company opens up a completely new perspective
and places the corner centre-stage – storage space is efficiently used and the entire contents comfortably and clearly extended from the cabinet.
Corners make a difference: there are some that have decided
on the outcome of Football World Cups. The striking Flatiron
Building in New York is one of the most famous corner buildings
in the world. And then there are those corners just waiting to be
discovered. In kitchens, for example. Most kitchens run across

at least one corner, with two runs meeting each other. Underneath is an attractive space of around 60 by 60 centimetres,
which is frequently left unused – or used with less comfortable,
simple shelf solutions offering users only insufficient access to
stored items. For this reason, the corner cabinet offers huge potential for effectively exploiting storage space, particularly in
smaller spaces.
With the CORNERSTONE, Vauth-Sagel has now taken this
space from out of the shadows. The innovative solutions allow
the corner cabinet to glide out of corners ‒ moving previously
difficult-to-reach items into the view of the beholder in the process.
Rethinking the corner – comfortable utilizing spaces
A simple and equally brilliantly-conceived system solution
makes it possible. CORNERSTONE is a swivelling system
component for corner cabinets that automatically extends the
entire contents out of the cabinet upon opening the door. Here,
the travel path is controlled and is confined to the area of the
corner cabinet carcass. This offers the advantage that utilising
neighbouring cabinets or the dishwasher, for example, is not

impeded. The opening angle of just 85 degrees has been optimised in a way that the corner cabinet does not impact with
other front panels, handles or walls. With a flick of the wrist, the
user can access small items just as easily as larger kitchen
utensils. And closing the cabinets is also possible with a small
movement of the door ‒ with the shelf elements retreat virtually
silently back into the corner cabinet.
Two strong characters:
CORNERSTONE & CORNERSTONE MAXX
With two targeted design variants, Vauth-Sagel will be launching its new product family of corner cabinet solutions at the
interzum 2015: the CORNERSTONE and the CORNERSTONE
MAXX. The CORNERSTONE is an all-rounder, equipped with
symmetrical shelves and the corresponding mechanism, which
measures just 75 millimetres in height, among other things. It is
this that actually enables flexible utilisation; regardless of
whether the corner cabinet is installed on the right or left. It also
considerably simplifies storage. The actual installation into the
carcass is extremely simple: the support arm of the CORNERSTONE merely needs to be screwed to the central post to

which the other elements are also attached. Then just the shelf
actuator has to be screwed to the front panel. In corner cabinets
without central posts, this is carried out by means of an adapter.
The CORNERSTONE MAXX offers maximum comfort, modern design and innovative features. With their asymmetrical
shape, the two shelf surfaces offer even more storage space,
are heavy load-compatible as each is suitable for weights of up
to 25 kilogrammes, are height-adjustable and swivel out of the
carcass to an extreme extent. Once again, the travel is controlled, although the shelves extend themselves and, when required, silently and autonomously retract back into the cabinet.
The CORNERSTONE MAXX offers superlative travel comfort.
And, needless to say, this solution is also easy to install: just
five steps are required for the CORNERSTONE MAXX to be
fully-functional. The central installation of the mechanism is by
means of just a column that is centrally positioned in all cabinet
types. The low height of the mechanism, measuring in at just
58 millimetres, is clear evidence that the designers and engineers worked in close collaboration.
The CORNERSTONE will be premièring at the leading interzum world trade fair, taking place between May 5 and 8, 2015.
