Delicious Design
Plusmodo by Poggenphol.
Spanish designer Jorge Pensi melds the seemingly contradictory concepts of display and disguise in the Plusmodo counter system for Poggenpohl. Underneath solid, six-inch countertops, glass pull-out trays showcase dishes and deep drawers eliminate the need for hinged doors. Sliding doors on the overhead cabinets allow you to display what you desire—and hide what you don’t. Choose from elm-fronted cabinets, or white, blue or gray lacquer, and laminate or glass countertops.
