Why the L works

Two connected runs create a natural work triangle between sink, hob and fridge while leaving the rest of the room open. It suits corner spaces in condos and open-plan rooms in townhouses and villas.

Why the L works

Solve the corner

The corner is the hardest place to reach. Carousel units, pull-out corner systems or a simple blind-corner drawer turn dead space into usable storage for pots and small appliances.

Solve the corner

Add a breakfast ledge

Extending one leg of the L with a slim counter creates a place for coffee or homework without the footprint of an island.

Light both runs

Under-cabinet lighting on both legs prevents shadows where you work. A window on one run brings daylight to the prep area.

Efficient, flexible and easy to fit

The L-shape works in more rooms than any other layout, from compact condos to family villas.

“Good kitchens start with good corners.”
