You’ve seen the hidden coffee bars all over Instagram and Pinterest; let’s take a deep dive behind the scenes and learn more about how to achieve the look.
While pocket door systems like Blum’s REVEGO have gained popularity in European kitchens and interiors, they have yet to become widespread in places like New York. This innovative product offers many benefits that can significantly enhance modern architectural designs. Let us explain why REVEGO is a game-changer and how it can be applied to your projects.
What is Blum's REVEGO?
Blum, a leader in innovative furniture solutions, has recently introduced the Revego system, a groundbreaking approach to adaptable furniture design with fully integrated technology. This system is particularly significant for architects and designers like you who are constantly seeking ways to enhance functionality and overall design quality of modern living spaces.
Revego stands out as a revolutionary product category of pocket door systems that enables a dynamic use of space, which is crucial in today’s multifunctional room layouts. It features a unique mechanism that allows door panels to slide seamlessly into a recessed compartment within the cabinetry, optimizing the use of available space.
Types of REVEGO Pocket Door Systems
REVEGO Uno
The REVEGO Uno is perfect for smaller spaces or applications where a single sliding door is sufficient. It’s ideal for closets, small rooms, or as a room divider in compact areas. It includes features like smooth sliding mechanisms and compact design.
REVEGO Duo
The REVEGO Duo features two sliding doors that can be used to close off larger spaces or create a grand entrance. This type is often used in living rooms, conference rooms, or expansive commercial areas.
Key Features of Revego: Fully Integrated Technology
Handles are unnecessary with TIP-ON motion technology. Users can open cabinet doors with a single touch and slide them entirely into the pocket. To close the space, simply press the door to release it from the pocket, then press it again to smoothly conceal the entire area.
The system offers significant design flexibility and simple planning due to its standardized pocket widths and the ability to pre-assemble the system in a workshop. This facilitates easy transport and on-site installation, ensuring quality and reducing installation complexity.
Blum’s REVEGO pocket system is built for long-lasting performance, providing complete peace of mind for users. The system undergoes rigorous testing and quality control, ensuring it can withstand 40,000 opening and closing cycles, equivalent to approximately 20 years of use.
