I covet the Blum Aventos system terribly
By Rain Noe - April 1
Now that many of you are trapped at home, you're undoubtedly noticing those many home improvement projects you never got around to. If you're like me and unsatisfied with your standard-swinging kitchen cabinet doors, indulge yourself in a few moments of fantasy with Blum's variety of upwards-swinging Aventos system components:

It's kind of quaint that they don't show a single man in the kitchen, no? Anyways, here are what the individual differences are within the system:
Aventos HF: Bi-Fold Lift

The Servo Drive option can be added to any of the four systems.
The engineering-minded among you are surely curious how the mechanisms work. You can get a little taste with the X-ray views shown in this video below:

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

Kitchen Cabinet Door Hinge Systems That Swing Upwards in Fancy Ways
My wife insisted we have an Aventos servo-drive for the cabinet above our refrigerator. It was super expensive, but it is very nice. Pretty easy to install. My only word of caution is that there are a lot of components and they are priced a-la-carte, so I didn't realize this single cabinet was going to cost $1000! Lucky for her by the time I realized how expensive all the components were, it was too late to switch to a more standard cabinet design.
I played with some of these Blum systems years ago. Apple like quality in execution. Incredibly complex mechanics. I don't know how anyone can be this passionate about hardware, but they manage!
