Light, Elegant, Refined : The space feels both elegant and casual, with rich ebony doors and the banquette’s tufting and nailhead detailing contrasting with more rustic touches, such as the pine table, antique chandelier with chipping paint, and backsplash of whitewashed brick.

A little earlier this year, Italian luxury kitchen maker Pedini introduced a new line of kitchen cabinets that had an interesting characteristic – a system that doesn’t include handles.

Opening is achieved by a groove on the edge of the extra thick front panel (base units) or by a vertical aluminum profile (tall units). Is this innovative? What do you think?
