URBAN: Design without dictates, planning without limits "THE INTERPLAY OF INTENSITY AND COMPOSURE, FAMILIARITY AND SURPRISE: THESE ARE THE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS OF URBAN LIFE". ULRICH W. SIEKMANN, SieMatic CEO In "solitaire" kitchen planning in the URBAN style collection, the unconventional juxtaposition of carefully selected, seemingly contradictory objects plays just as decisive a role as the mixture of areas with open and closed design elements. A "signature piece" in the urban world is the SieMatic 29: the exciting re-interpretation of the traditional kitchen sideboard, which is nominated for the "German Design Award" for a design that is as versatile as it is functional.

Captions to illustrations – SieMatic style collections URBAN and PURE 01 SieMatic URBAN Typical for the SieMatic style collection URBAN are the solitaire planning and the combination of open and closed pieces of furniture in high-quality materials; providing a livable atmosphere. Elements such as the herb garden of stone or laminate transform the kitchen into an oasis in the middle of the city. 02 SieMatic URBAN Its unconventional L-form, its functional equipment, and the eating bar make the kitchen island a communicative "working center" with a view that extends across the "herb garden" into the green beyond. 03 SieMatic URBAN In the kitchen planning in the SieMatic style collection URBAN, openly designed areas play a decisive role, for both esthetic and functional reasons. Facilitating an appetizing presentation of selected ingredients and utensils; everything visible and easy to reach. 04 SieMatic URBAN The unconventional juxtaposition of selected, seemingly contradictory solitaire objects is characteristic for the kitchen planning in the SieMatic style collection URBAN. One "Signature Piece" is the SieMatic 29: This re-interpretation of the traditional kitchen buffet provides for a variety of designs and functional equipment. 05 SieMatic URBAN In the urban environment of an apartment in an older building, planning with furniture solitaires in linear designs creates exciting accents. The cubic form of the voluminous sink, which is made of the same high-quality materials as the surrounding countertop, joins the small herb garden beneath the practical shelving to create a particular eye-catcher. © 2015 SieMatic | SieMatic Möbelwerke GmbH & Co.

The sensitive play with fine lines, combined with high-quality materials, marks the timelessly elegant character of this room planning. 07 SieMatic PURE The fine measure of just 6.5 mm determines not only the delicate look of the puristic SieMatic front panels, but is also repeated in the new side panels and in the look of the countertops, which can be matched perfectly to one another in selected materials and paints.
