Kitchen and room planning concepts

E NJ OYING CITY LIFE URBAN INSPIR ATION To those who love urban life, it’s not loud but full of life; not anonymous but social; not hectic but exciting, versatile, inspiring, and colorful. Whether London or Lisbon, Berlin or Barcelona, New York or Nuremberg: Our cities are full of contrasts that the young and young-at-heart around the world find so fascinating, appealing, and productive. Everything is in motion, not just the traffic. Street art, pop-up shops, urban gardening – it is the spontaneous creativity of its inhabitants that is constantly changing the face of an urban center and...

WELCOME TO THE “URBAN” WORLD OF SIEMATIC What makes SieMatic style collection URBAN so versatile and unique? It is the unconventional, intuitive juxtaposition of carefully selected objects and thematic contrasts: exciting and peaceful, strange and familiar, modest and ostentatious, flea market find and design classic. It is the individual aesthetics that tell a story of the experience, values and contrasts of a unique personality. It is “solitaire” planning in which each object has a relationship with its neighbor.

“THE INTERPLAY OF INTENSITY AND COMPOSURE, FAMILIARITY AND SURPRISE: THAT IS WHERE URBANITY IS BORN.” U L R I C H W. S I E K M A N N ,

THE LONGING FOR GREEN LIVING IN THE CITY Once a scene of toil; now a place for relaxation: Factory buildings are being transformed into living spaces; grey courtyards are turning into green gardens. Creative architects are discovering new habitats in our cities and making them into attractive addresses. In the middle of the city and in the midst of nature – this is no longer a contradiction. The great architecture of a former industrial hall offers plenty of room to enjoy life, bring nature into or outside of your home, and cook and celebrate with family or friends. Those who live this way...

“Together with our neighbors, we have created a little piece of paradise in our neighborhood. We love to see the plants growing, to harvest our vegetables, to invite each other over, and to try out recipes. It’s lots of fun for the children, too, and they learn a lot in the process. We find our life here much more exciting than living in the country. Because with a little creativity, initiative, and a sense of community, wonderful alternatives can be created in the city.” Paula, graphic designer in Amsterdam

A SOLITAIRE AMONG KITCHEN FURNITURE In the urban environment, history is welcome. With SieMatic 29, we have re-interpreted a piece of traditional furniture: the kitchen buffet. This new, timelessly elegant piece of furniture forms a characteristic element of the SieMatic style collection URBAN and simultaneously pays homage to our own history. The beveled, rounded side panels give the sideboard its unmistakable silhouette. It is available in all SieMatic materials and all the colors of the SieMatic ColorSystem. Depending on the selection of colors and materials, the design of the niche can...

DESIGN WITH FUNCTION SieMatic 29 is not just a visually extraordinary design object. Because the niche can be designed in a variety of colors and materials, and can also be equipped with various kitchen functions: from light and power outlets to sink, stovetop and exhaust hood. C H A R AC T E R I S T I C S I L H O U E T T E : The elegantly sweeping side panels bring to mind the traditional kitchen buffet of days of yore.

A M Y R I A D O F F U N C T I O N S I N A S M A L L S PAC E : From a little espresso to a great feast – it can all be prepared here. But even without the integrated stovetop and sink, the SieMatic 29 testifies to good taste. A B S O L U T E LY U P T O DAT E : Intelligent functions, such as the charging station for tablets and smartphones, make the sideboard a state-of-the-art piece of furniture.

Together with the young Berlin design and architecture team KINZO, SieMatic has channeled the idea of the kitchen into a piece of mobile furniture to develop the SieMatic 29.

“The dissolution of boundaries, coupled with functional and atmospheric flexibility: a holistic approach that KINZO follows consistently. This concept can also be transferred to the office, just like at home. Offices are meeting places with various atmospheres for the purpose of different work activities. Changing the context and placing the SieMatic 29 sideboard in an office, as in the KINZO office in Berlin, reveals the formal and substantive universality of this piece of furniture.” K A R I M E L - I S H M AW I , Kinzo Berlin

IT’S NOT THE SIZE THAT COUNTS, BUT THE IDEA The combination of vertical and horizontal structures, open and closed elements, and light and dark materials creates attractive artistic tension in this apartment. The ceiling-high shelf acts as a room divider, while also creating an elegant link between the kitchen and living areas. The selection of individual design elements together with the fresh green of herbs and plants forms a cozy concept; an invitation to communal cooking and delight.

Everything remains diverse NO ONE DETAIL IS THE SAME AS ANY OTHER, BUT IT ALL FITS TOGETHER. The forms, colors, materials, and sizes of the individual elements that make up this kitchen island produce a harmonious image that is simultaneously rich in contrasts. An example of the scope that opens up for your own personal ideas when you plan and design with SieMatic.

T H E S I EMAT I C AL U M INUM INTE R IOR ACCE SSOR IE S PURE HARMONY – INSIDE AND OUT The new SieMatic aluminum interior accessories create aesthetic enjoyment that is unique in its functionality and unmistakable in its graphical look. This is ensured by the innovative new material combination of aluminum, light oak or dark smoked chestnut, flock, and porcelain, as well as precise workmanship down to the smallest detail. Intelligent, contemporary ideas like the integrated USB connection offer new, valuable functions for the “living space” of the kitchen. The highly functional system makes...
