Architectural kitchen systems for modern homes.

PLANE Collection — Minimal

Pure flat surfaces.
Minimal by design.

PLANE is ORLO.Haus’s most minimal front collection, designed around clean planes, precise reveals, curated finishes, and a calm modern expression.

Simple does not mean basic. With PLANE, the beauty comes from proportion, finish, alignment, and restraint. It is the right collection when you want the kitchen to feel quiet, clean, and architectural.

Available for selected Sektion® System and Core System projects.

Design Story

When the front disappears,
the proportions matter more.

PLANE is built around restraint. There is no profile to hide behind, no decorative frame, and no applied detail competing for attention.

That means every other decision matters more: the finish, reveal lines, panel sizes, hardware choice, appliance integration, and how the kitchen sits within the room.

PLANE is for clients who want the kitchen to feel calm, minimal, and precise.

The goal is not to make the kitchen plain. The goal is to make it quiet.

Why Simplicity Requires Discipline

Minimal fronts only work
when the details are controlled.

A flat front can look cheap if the finish is wrong, the reveals are inconsistent, the panels are poorly planned, or the hardware feels like an afterthought. PLANE works because it is treated as part of a complete kitchen system, not just a flat cabinet door.
  1. 01

    Clean reveals

    The gaps between doors and drawers must feel intentional and consistent.

  2. 02

    Strong proportions

    Large flat surfaces need good proportions to avoid looking generic or heavy.

  3. 03

    Curated finishes

    PLANE depends heavily on material quality, color, and texture.

  4. 04

    Hardware discipline

    External pulls, push-to-open systems, or edge pulls must be selected carefully.

  5. 05

    Panel alignment

    Large panels, appliance panels, and side panels must align with the overall composition.

What Makes PLANE Different

Not every flat front belongs in a premium kitchen.

PLANE is not just a blank cabinet door. It is a curated front collection designed to work inside the ORLO.Haus system. The difference is in how it is specified, finished, detailed, and paired with the right platform and hardware.
01

Curated finish pairings

PLANE is offered in finishes that support a clean modern look: matte paint, Fenix, selected veneers, wood, and technical surfaces.

02

System compatibility

PLANE can work with both Sektion® System and Core System depending on project needs.

03

Hardware flexibility

PLANE supports different opening strategies: applied pulls, edge pulls, push-to-open, or integrated hardware approaches depending on design.

04

Clean panel logic

Large flat surfaces require careful panel planning, especially around appliances, islands, and tall units.

05

Strong value path

PLANE can be the most efficient way to achieve a refined modern kitchen when the design is handled correctly.

Hardware & Opening Options

PLANE gives you several ways to open the kitchen.

Because PLANE is a flat front, the opening method becomes an important design decision. The right hardware should support the look, not interrupt it.

Push-to-open

01

Creates the cleanest handleless appearance, especially for upper cabinets, selected base cabinets, and modern minimalist kitchens.

Best for

  • · Ultra-minimal kitchens
  • · Matte finishes
  • · Clean architectural spaces

Considerations

  • · Not every client likes pressing fronts to open.
  • · High-use drawers may need careful hardware selection.

Applied pulls

02

Allows more traditional function while keeping the front flat.

Best for

  • · Practical everyday kitchens
  • · Projects where tactile hardware is preferred
  • · Designs using slim, minimal pulls

Considerations

  • · Pull choice must be restrained and consistent.
  • · Hardware can change the whole personality of the kitchen.

Edge / low-profile pulls

03

Keeps the front visually quiet while providing a physical grip.

Best for

  • · Minimal kitchens where push-to-open is not preferred
  • · Modern designs that still need tactile function
  • · Matte and wood finishes

Considerations

  • · Edge pull placement and finish should be planned carefully.

Mixed strategy

04

Some projects use push-to-open in certain areas and slim pulls or edge pulls in high-use areas.

Best for

  • · Larger kitchens
  • · Designer-led projects
  • · Projects balancing clean appearance and function

Considerations

  • · The mix should support the overall design, not feel inconsistent.

Recommended Finishes

PLANE depends on the finish.

With a flat front, the finish becomes the main visual feature. Color, texture, sheen, grain, and surface quality matter more because there is no profile or frame competing for attention.

Matte Color

Soft, architectural, and calm — PLANE’s most natural pairing.

Design Rules & Proportions

Flat fronts make
proportion visible.

With PLANE, the kitchen becomes a composition of planes, lines, and reveals. Because there is no decorative profile, the proportions of each cabinet run matter more. ORLO.Haus helps plan these details so PLANE feels refined instead of generic.

  1. 01

    Reveal consistency

    Flat fronts need clean and consistent reveal lines between doors, drawers, and panels.

  2. 02

    Large panel planning

    Tall panels, island backs, and appliance panels should be carefully sized and aligned.

  3. 03

    Hardware placement

    If using pulls, placement must feel intentional and consistent across the kitchen.

  4. 04

    Push-to-open zones

    Push-to-open hardware should be used strategically, especially in high-use areas.

  5. 05

    Grain direction

    For wood PLANE kitchens, grain direction must be planned. Horizontal grain works well on drawer banks; vertical grain may be better for tall doors and panels.

  6. 06

    Color blocking

    PLANE works well when different finish blocks are used intentionally — wood lowers with matte upper cabinets, for example.

  7. 07

    Toe kick treatment

    Toe kicks should stay quiet and support the clean plane of the cabinetry.
