If you build upwards you don’t need a big footprint. The same is true with larders in the kitchen. They can hold lots of food supplies. But this also means that they must cope with the weight and all of the stored items must remain visible and accessible. Kesseböhmer is one of the pioneers when it comes to food storage. The hardware systems specialist is placing the storage space and access, overview and convenience of its classic „CONVOY“, „DISPENSA“ and TANDEM“ larders in the limelight once more at Interzum 2019. At the same time, the pull-outs are getting an update with the new „eTouch+“.
Lightly pressing the front panel of a „CONVOY“, „DISPENSA“ or „TANDEM“ is all it takes – with the new „eTouch+“ the larder opens to reveal a gap (44 mm) and can be pulled open with one hand inside. The key feature: if the front is not opened wider, the unit closes automatically after about three seconds.
„eTouch+“ is easy to install. It reinforces Kesseböhmer’s expertise in equipping the entire kitchen and in particular the larders consistently for handle-free opening and closing but also creates the conditions for readying the larders for the smart home so that they can be voice-controlled as an option – a milestone along the way to the future for the „TANDEM“ and „TANDEM solo“, the only larder developed according to the refrigerator principle, for the „DISPENSA“, pioneers in larder pull-outs, and the „CONVOY“, the multiple prizewinning larder pull-out.
100 % Overview – the „TANDEM“
The „TANDEM“ in particular will be in the foreground at Cologne when comparing the benefits of various larder unit solutions on the market. As a ‘supermarket shelf at home’, the „TANDEM“ can accommodate a week’s worth of shopping for a family of four. The name refers to the intelligent division into door shelf and trays, which provides the user with not only a distinctive opening experience, but also a complete overview and convenient access to all supplies at the same time.
Kesseböhmer will demonstrate the full overview at Interzum in a direct comparison with a larder unit fitted with internal pull-outs. When a certain ingredient needs to be found quickly, the „TANDEM“ makes this possible with just one hand movement and thanks to visibility from the side.
