Stepping up: Blum’s cabinetry takes storage to the next level
Every home has that tall, inconvenient cabinet that can’t be reached. It either remains bare, or items that never get used are stored away to be forgotten for years to come. Blum has always worked towards creating clever cabinet solutions, predominantly for the kitchen but also for other areas of the home. The new SPACE STEP from Blum demonstrates just that.
The SPACE STEP is a plinth solution that consists of a plinth step and a pull-out that delivers multiple benefits to any area in the home. Designed to be integrated into cabinet kickboards, the SPACE STEP glides open with a touch to the front so that it can be used as a step, enabling the user to reach higher cabinets and creating a safe alternative to wobbly chairs and stools. The step will lower and lock securely in place when subjected to a minimum load of eight kilograms, which prevents the SPACE STEP from slipping and increasing the product’s safety. The top of the step can simply be pushed back into the cabinet to reveal a pull-out underneath and added storage that conventionally would have remained unusable.
Clever storage solutions like SPACE STEP give designers the opportunity to stand out from the rest. The SPACE STEP can be paired with Blum’s LEGRABOX, TANDEMBOX, and MOVENTO box systems. With step heights of 150 millimetres to 250 millimetres and cabinet widths of 400 millimetres to 1,200 millimetres, designers are given the freedom to create individualized designs and increase storage space for clients who are restricted by smaller kitchens and living areas.
SPACE STEP can be easily implemented with Blum’s motion technologies such as TIP-ON BLUMOTION. For designers who want their clients to experience supreme user convenience, SPACE STEP can be combined with the SERVO-DRIVE electrical opening support system. With a light touch of the front, the pull-out glides open and then close silently and effortlessly with soft-close BLUMOTION.
Blum’s products are backed by rigorous research and testing, providing architects and designers with peace of mind when specifying.
