Leicht’s “Room in Room”

The kitchen is disappearing – and being recreated – with Leicht’s “Room in Room” concept as unveiled at last month’s Eurocucina in Milan, Italy. This new idea plays with the idea of a floor plan in a contemporary interior setting taking the open-plan kitchen concept to the complete integration of the kitchen within the living area.

The “Room in Room” concept presented by Leicht is a walk-in room which fulfils a wide range of living space and kitchen functions. From the outside, the walk-in cube looks like a flat unit front from every perspective while the inside incorporates functional and storage space solutions to suit customer requirements. A homely atmosphere is created by the interchange with open spaces and the skillful combination of materials: elegant, matte lacquered surfaces contrast with finely structured genuine wood.

“This innovative planning approach goes far beyond conventional room concepts and creates an even greater degree of homeliness,“ says Leicht CEO and Chairman of the Board Stefan Waldenmaier of the striking new development.

This extremely clear kitchen architecture corresponds to the smooth front design which is characterised by elegant matte lacquer in snow white with anti-fingerprint finish. The bar and a seating alcove integrated in the cube are the homely and communicative components. The alcove is made of genuine finely structured wood and can be personalised with the homeowner’s own decoration. The kitchen is not just seamlessly integrated into the living room but is the centre of communication and living.

The “Room in Room” is entered through a discreetly integrated swing door facing the island. This means the distances between cooking and preparing as well as taking out and storing the necessary utensils are as short and convenient as possible.

“We have never before been able to integrate the complexity of the kitchen as a functional room quite so harmoniously into the living area. The interior concept developed by Leicht is architecture-shaping. It moves the kitchen into a new dimension and illustrates Leicht’s outstanding expertise in interior design,” adds Stefan Waldenmaier.
