Once we go deep into in the project of a new kitchen, a countless doubts regarding the design, functionality, aesthetics. etc., emerge and it is this the moment of seeking for information where we all do: Google. When typing ‘modern kitchen design’ we start receiving new concepts and information we are not used to such as handleless kitchen cabinets, gola profile, integrated handles for drawers and cabinet doors, flat gola profile, C and J profiles, horizontal gola, vertical gola, profile handles and many others.

And it is true that those who just arrived in the kitchen world can feel confused and do not understand what it is about.For that reason, our goal in Rincomatic is to get that those concepts are clearly explained, and it is easy to recognize them when a professional talk about the design and budget of our kitchen and bathroom.

For a start, it is needed to know that existence of these systems goes hand in hand with the furniture hardware manufacturer and it is being updated constantly for offering products which can make life in the kitchen simpler and much more comfortable. They provide different solutions able to adapt to every design, door model and budget.

We start by presenting three systems that can be combined among them opening up a world of possibilities:

1) Drawers and cabinet doors with profile handles:

Even though it sounds paradoxical, doors with aluminum profile handles have become part of the handleless kitchen concept. They are installed along the upper edge of the cabinet door or front of the drawer, creating a single element which makes possible opening comfortably from any point. It is resistant, easy to clean and due to his variety of finishes, it is possible to combine them with the rest of the elements and accessories in the kitchen.

They can be installed in horizontal or vertical position depending on the kitchen cabinet type: upper or lower cabinets, creating the horizontal and vertical lines typical of contemporary design.

As shown in the pictures, when several drawers coincide, we try to match them to form a C-shape with the purpose of getting a comfortable opening. This is possible by placing one handle upwards and the other downwards.

2) Horizontal gola and vertical gola profile: C-shape and J-shape

Traditional Gola Profile system or also known as Continuous Handle consists of two profiles: C-shape and J-shape which are installed in the kitchen cabinets both in horizontal and vertical position. In horizontal position, the gola profile in J shape is installed in the upper part of the base cabinet and the gola profile in C between drawers so that both upper and lower drawers can be open through the same profile.

3) Characteristics of Flat Gola profile:

When using Flat Gola profile, some additional characteristics must be taken into consideration, given that being a totally flat profile will require different cabinet doors and drawer fronts options to allow a comfortable opening. Among the most popular options, we can find:

• Profile handle installed on cabinet doors and drawers cut at 45 degrees, which gives durability and resistance to the kitchen cabinet and makes simple its cleaning. The combinations with gola profiles are multiple thanks to its great variety of finishes.

• A minimalist handle installed in the top edge of the door. It can be placed in any part of the edge facilitating the door rotation in horizontal and vertical way and both in tall and base cabinets and, in addition, it allows the combination of its finishes with the flat gola profile ones.

• 45 degrees’ kitchen cabinet door.

In the end, the handless kitchens continue with the trend of creating a personalized space by means of these opening systems: gola profiles, profile handles, integrated handles, flat gola profile and its broad range of finishes.

Nowadays, kitchen is evolving towards comfort and functionality, allowing it to enjoy a pleasant space around which life revolves at home, and this is perceived in the design of contemporary furniture, in which all the elements that take part in its installation contribute to achieve a modern style, in line with the current decoration trends and new habits of life.

The kitchen has become to be the social center within the house, where the best gatherings take place and it must be taken into account in order to get a personal kitchen ready to enjoy without putting aside the use of space.

What characteristics define a contemporary design?.

Within the contemporary kitchen, kitchen cabinets are the main protagonists. The aesthetics and functionality join together following the basic principles of this style:

• Designs where the straight line marks the style, taking it into account in the distribution of the kitchen cabinets when it comes to locating the drawers and doors.
• Smooth surfaces where the design will be in the combination of materials, textures and colors, always following a professional kitchen project where this combination will be based on space, natural light and personal style.
• The absence of handles creates clean spaces free of visual obstacles, giving prominence to distribution and finishing.
• Optimal usage of space in upper and base cabinets, pantries and corner cabinets.
• Regarding the measurements of kitchen furniture, the standardized moves to a second place since we will find upper, base and column cabinets with different measures that will be adapted to a personal project, taking into account the aesthetics and ergonomics of those who live in this kitchen.

Organization, storage and lighting. Essential concepts in today’s kitchen.

•  The essence of contemporary kitchen furniture lies in the comfort of opening and closing drawer fronts and doors and easy access inside the cabinet, especially in corner cabinets where accessibility is a factor vitally important.
• The order is crucial, and within the contemporary style, there is a specific cabinet and space to store each utensil.
• The lighting in the modern kitchen practically comes as standard, with strips and LED profiles under the wall cabinets facilitating the vision of the interior with much more clarity while we work on the countertop apart from LED lighting inside the cabinets, getting visualized to the last corner or nook.
• The interior of the units is also part of the design in the kitchen and we find different accessories that, in addition to maintaining order, make it more attractive when we open a drawer or a door.
• The contemporary kitchen is personal where all the elements are chosen according to the needs of each house, so that, at the same time, we can see different decorative styles within the contemporary style.

Integrated handles, LED profiles and Gola handles. Some of the key elements in cabinetry.

In order to get a contemporary kitchen, it is necessary to count on the components of the cabinets since they contribute to make it come true, such as:

• Gola system for handleless kitchens, facilitating the opening of drawer front by means of a profile designed according to the model of door and cabinet.
• Going for the personalization of the kitchen, when a handle is more comfortable, we have an integrated profile handle on doors, following the maxim of a minimalist style that is to get clean surfaces.
• An opening system for kitchen cabinets that allows the complete visualization of the interior and facilitates its access is essential.
• An illuminated profile should not only create a pleasant atmosphere inside the kitchen, but also allow to see what is inside the cabinet and drawer.

Speaking of a contemporary kitchen cabinet is talking about innovation, comfort, extreme functionality … but, above all, it is talking about a personal kitchen where the choice of each element has a reason and nothing is left to chance because behind a modern kitchen design there is a meticulous project made with enthusiasm.

Once the distribution and equipment of the kitchen have been decided, we face a wide variety of materials and finishes that will define the aesthetics of the ensemble. Aluminum profiles handles, in addition to being functional, will act as a common thread between materials, acting as an important aesthetic component in the set.

The profile integrated handles are the ideal alternative when the time comes to choose a modern, minimalist and functional design: Integrated in the front side of the drawer or door, it draws clean lines providing an aesthetic almost without handles, combining functionality with elegance, without putting comfort in opening and easy cleaning aside.

Syma, the range of rincomatic profile handles.

On the one hand, the range of syma handles responds to this trend with four different models: from 50mm channel to the 2mm invisible handle for Flat Gola System, and on the other hand, it does it with multiple finishes: perfectly combinable with any front in melamine, wood, high gloss, acrylic, matt, etc. Without forgetting the customizable profile handle.

Each model consists of a complementary handle that once has been installed as a part of the ensemble, simulates a channel or false gola in horizontal or vertical, and installed individually is the perfect solution for opening upper cabinets. Furthermore, it has metallic end caps that provide a smoothed finish without sharp edges.

Clip-System, installation without machining.

The assembly of the profile handles is no longer a complex task: Rincomatic has developed a precise, agile and clean installation by means of Clip for the entire Syma range. Clip-System avoids machining and minimizes assembly times, becoming the perfect alternative for any type of furniture and a versatile solution for the kitchen designs that last over time.
