Blum kitchen inspirations

26 14.4 sqm An evening with the Schreiers Simone and Mathias Schreier have always liked to entertain guests, but even more so since they moved into their new home with a view of the mountains. Their pride and joy is their kitchen – the venue of tonight’s dinner with two other couples. Simone Schreier is an IT project manager and Mathias is a marketing expert for online services – which is reflected in their kitchen. The light oak furniture fronts conceal high technology: the SERVO-DRIVE electric motion support system. "What would you like to drink?" asks Simone. The friends opt for a non-alcoholic aperitif. The refrigerator has a capacity of 140 litres and yet Simone doesn’t even need a handle to open it. The front opens at a single touch thanks to the electric opening system. Kitchen chores are as easy as the menu itself: lemon and rosemary chicken, salad, grilled vegetables and antipasti. "Just touch the fridge and it opens by itself. Experience it once and you're hooked, you want it everywhere," says the hostess with a big grin. In the meanwhile Mathias is showing off the other functional solutions. How do you open the extra wide wall cabinets? They again open at a single touch – and close at the press of a switch! kitchen inspirations | MOTION
