LEICHT kitchens at the imm cologne 2017
The aesthetic architectural kitchens with the exclusive architectural colours.
In the preface of the new LEICHT brochure ‘LEICHT & Le Corbusier‘, Stefan Waldenmaier, CEO of LEICHT kitchens, states:
„ […] Le Corbusier described colour as ‘eminently architectural‘; for the architect, colour was just as powerful as the ground plan and section. In this context, LEICHT will not just be more differentiated in terms of the design possibilities of a kitchen with its use of colour in the future, but also more architecture-oriented.
A LEICHT kitchen is all about modernity, timelessness and a holisitc perception of design and architecture.
No surprise then that we decided to literally show our true colours with Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier and to stand by our design principles of the classically modern. LEICHT is the first kitchen manufacturer to have been given the exclusive privilege to choose 15 expressive and powerful nuances from Le Corbusier’s colour system: the colours correspond to the natural colour spectrum and can be combined harmoniously. The extended range of colours is a unique design aid in kitchen planning enabling experts to plan a kitchen which is completely in harmony with the personality and the individual environment of the user.“
LEICHT impressively presents this unique design tool on a 400 m2 booth at the imm cologne. The offer covers matt and high-gloss lacquer ranges as well as surrounding materials through to handels and grip rails which emphasize horizontal or vertical lines – everything in line with holistic and harmonious kitchen planning down to the very last detail.
„With their overall harmony, the exceptional architectural colours are easy to select and to combine – according to colour effect and individual sensibility”, confirms Stefan Waldenmeier and continues:
„In a first step, we have selected 3 colour shades (from dark to light) out of each of 5 colour series. These 15 colours of the architectural polychromy represent a further opportunity to individualize LEICHT kitchens: With the grey and umber nuances, kitchens and kitchen parts can be placed into shadow or designed very discreetly and elegantly; with cerulean blue, they can attract attention or appear as reflected sky.
The shades of english green remind of noble aristocracy or link retentively to the landscape. With the luminescent red ochre, furniture parts can be emphasized impressively; with the lighter red ochre tones, they appear loamy and very soft.”
LEICHT is not only closing a gap in the world of colours for the area of kitchens but also provides -in combination with other Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier partner products- the means to harmoniously connect living and kitchen spaces on the basis of the convincing Architectural Polychromy.
The visitors of LEICHT’s booth in Cologne were very enthusiastic: modern design, highest functionality, quality and individuality, and all this in connection with so far unknown and thrilling colour effects and colour harmonies – with love of detail.
