bulthaup innovations: Consistent clarity and sharpness of detail
Good architecture is created when the eye, the mind and the body feel good within a space. This perfection in architecture means clarity and precision to details, not just within the space itself, but also in terms of how it is furnished. bulthaup therefore offers designers technologies that enable clear thoughts to be translated into superlative sharpness of detail. Thanks to the innovative laser edge technology, surfaces and edges in Alpine white and in new colors can be combined without visible joins. The new bulthaup b3 design system now completes this connection - with its pure exterior and richly-equipped interior. Living fuses with cooking and dining without openly revealing what function lies behind which piece of furniture.

bulthaup b3: The art of seamlessly concealing function
The new bulthaup b3 design system responds perfectly to its surrounding architecture and opens up storage space that can be used for absolutely any purpose - whether as a continuous functional wall or as a seamlessly-enveloped monolith. The surfaces of the units in colored matt lacquer provide a seamless projection surface for the fascinating interplay of light and shadow. The resulting architecture is the reverse of cool aesthetics. The seamless shells conceal the poetry of everyday living: Pocket doors powered by precision mechanism disappear gently to one side when opened, providing clarity without compromise. This is our way of taking simplicity to its logical conclusion.

bulthaup b3 and b2 in a dynamic interplay
The bulthaup brand represents architecture of the living space that goes beyond the kitchen - be it open living without walls or intimate, sensual living spaces. bulthaup is the perfect solution for those who accept no compromise, reinterpret conventional planning ideas and who want to redefine and redesign rooms. This year, in the Via Durini showroom, bulthaup b3 and bulthaup b2 are presented in a dynamic interplay which combines successful design, individualism and sensuality that transcends all rooms. The reinterpretation of the bulthaup b2 workbench as a long table in walnut corresponds to the interior life of the bulthaup b3 design solution. This combination follows the innovative principle of an open kitchen that can be added to and put together to suit its owner's individual preferences. The result: A new type of flexibility, mobility and spontaneity that responds to the user's individual needs.

Optimized lighting and air filtration when preparing and cooking food: These requirements are essential for ergonomic and functional kitchen design.
In the quest for an appliance that satisfies both criteria, the idea came about of a horizontal floating line of light in combination with an aerodynamic shape similar to that of wind instruments. From the side view, you can see exactly how the air is sucked in, circulated, compacted and then expelled upwards. This striking shape has been elongated along the length of the light. The body is minimal, small in size - and yet by no means an abstract box. Wing slats indicate and support the function of the air extractor, which is equipped with an energy-efficient recirculation system.
This independent bulthaup element opens up a new product category. When activated, the two slats that run along the lighting strip open to the side and expose the entire extraction surface. The aerodynamic side view lets one actually feel the movement and compaction of the rising air. The mobility of the extractor is also crucial: if the position or configuration of the kitchen workbench changes, the position of the extractor, hanging from two steel cables, can be easily changed. The extractor also looks great above bulthaup kitchen islands, responding to the individual needs of its users.
People who like to prepare food directly at the table, such as fondue, raclette or teppanyaki dishes, will find having the extractor positioned directly over the dining table a functional and attractive alternative.
Featuring the latest recirculated air technology, the bulthaup extractor complies with the technical requirements of energy-saving homes. The heated air remains in the room and is not ducted outdoors, reducing energy costs and saving resources. Further information can be found in the bulthaup press.net.
