Plywood Kitchens & cabinetry

Modern design and mid-century modern are two popular styles to plywood kitchen design. Both styles are known for their clean lines and simple aesthetic, but there are some key differences between them.
Modern plywood kitchens typically have full overlay fronts, which means that the fronts completely cover the carcass. This style is more streamlined and minimalist, and it is often used in contemporary homes. Since the cabinet interiors are hidden by the fronts, NZ-Made MDF melamine board is normally used instead of plywood, which is a cost-effective way to have plywood in modern design.
Mid-century modern (MCM) plywood kitchens, on the other hand, typically have inset fronts. This style is more visually appealing, as the exposed plywood edges give the kitchen a warm and natural look. It is also more complex to build than the overlay style, but it is often seen as more stylish.

When we look back at mid-century modern design from 1945 to 1975, we can see that furniture from this era is characterized by clean lines, simplicity, and timelessness. Our kitchen cabinets and system ensure that we have the foundation to achieve this. However, the handle profile element also plays an important role. Most cabinet makers in the market use the shortcut of cutting through the fronts, but we have innovated with our CAD-CAM to bring back the old-school handle profiles that give plywood kitchens a simple yet sophisticated look. Our handle profiles with cutouts are not cut through the birch plywood fronts, but have a 3mm back, leaving no patch at the back but a genuine full one-piece. This gives our kitchens a more authentic mid-century modern look and feel. We are proud to offer our customers a unique and stylish kitchen solution that is both functional and sustainable.
