Japanese Aesthetics
The LEICHT KYOTO collection draws direct inspiration from traditional Japanese design principles, translating them into a modern kitchen environment. Characterised by a delicate grid structure formed through vertical wood veneers, finely aligned panels, and slim horizontal elements, KYOTO reflects the minimalist harmony seen in Japanese interiors.
Its use of natural materials such as walnut and oak, along with a matte, water based lacquer finish, supports the aesthetic of quiet refinement and authenticity. This thoughtful attention to proportion, balance, and tactile warmth speaks to the Japanese philosophy of simplicity with purpose of creating a space that is not only functional but deeply calming and architecturally composed.
Design in Perfection
KYOTO unites distinct frame like detailing, clean architectural lines, and natural wood surfaces into a cohesive, harmonious grid. Its minimalist approach is enhanced by the warmth of wood tones, striking a perfect balance between refined simplicity and contemporary comfort a perfect fusion of functionality and sensory appeal within the living space.

MATERIALS & SURFACE FINISHES
JAPANDI & NORDIC
KYOTO embodies the essence of Japandi design, blending Japanese craftsmanship with Nordic clarity and warmth. The fronts are crafted from real wood veneers in oak or walnut, showcasing a continuous vertical grain that enhances the natural rhythm and flow of the design.
These surfaces are protected with a matte, transparent water-based lacquer, preserving the authentic feel of the wood while providing durability for everyday use. The result is a refined material aesthetic that balances minimalist precision with organic texture true to both Japanese restraint and Scandinavian softness.
