A piece of furniture is far more than a mundane utility item. Some pieces stay with us for a lifetime. They are part of our everyday world. A piece of furniture is an individual design object that enables us to style our homes precisely in accordance with our needs and aspirations. And there is an ever-increasing emphasis on convenience and comfort. GRASS movement systems offer all the ingredients for turning your dreams into living reality. Experience the beauty of movement as the expression of pure lifestyle.

KINVARO FLAP SYSTEMS
Comfort in four dimensions. Kinvaro provides the perfect movement solution for every application. With all the space available at the top of cabinets, the only limit is personal choice. The GRASS Kinvaro series redefines the principle of the classic wall cabinet. Wall cabinets continue to rank among the most favoured storage solutions for kitchens. And they are destined to remain so, thanks to our extremely functional and comfortable flap systems. Stable and reliable movement systems, easy and silent in application, ergonomically well designed and comfortable to operate – these are the special ingredients for modern storage concepts. Kinvaro flap systems represent the perfect synthesis of innovative design ambition and functional movement in the spirit of modern furniture culture. Whichever flap you open – the exclusive folding, parallel lift, up-and-over, and lift-up flap systems ensure perfect access and maximum freedom of movement.

KINVARO S UP-AND-OVER FLAP SYSTEM
KINVARO T LIFT-UP FLAP SYSTEMS
The two-part front folds upwards to provide optimal access to the entire storage space. The particularly smooth movement sequence is enhanced by the integrated, adjustable Soft-close damping. The system is also ideal for handle-free fronts.
The single front opens in parallel with the cabinet and remains fixed in any position. Parallel lift flap systems are very elegant in their movement, extremely stable and particularly well suited to cabinets with kitchen equipment. Ideal for large, handle-free fronts.
The single front lifts up above the cabinet at an angle and remains fixed in any position. Up-and-over flap systems are extremely stable and particularly well suited to cabinets with cornices, pelmets and attached lights. Ideal for handle-free fronts.
The single front opens up comfortably with a gentle lift movement. The particularly elegant movement sequence is enhanced by the integrated, adjustable Soft-close damping. Ideal for light to mediumweight fronts. 11
KINVARO FLAP SYSTEMS
Easy opening, effortless access to cabinet contents and gentle, silent closure – these are the special features of Kinvaro flap systems. Whether high-gloss, wood or aluminium frame – the Kinvaro flap systems not only look good, they also provide limitless design freedom for cabinets. And the inner values are irresistible too: a gentle tap or pull is all it takes to set the flaps gently in motion. They seem to glide upwards almost weightlessly. The closing operation is also particularly comfortable. With Soft-close, the integrated damping system, each movement becomes an experience. Soft-close gently slows the movement of the front and pulls it to the fully closed position. It is no surprise therefore, that Soft-close has become the benchmark.

Tiomos HINGE SYSTEM
You can’t reinvent the wheel. But the hinge is another matter. With the latest generation of hinges, a vision has been transformed into reality. Hinges were already used in ancient times. With Tiomos, GRASS is now opening a new chapter which will inspire the furniture makers of the future. The development of Tiomos has benefited from several decades of know-how and experience. Years of research have been dedicated to reconceptualising and developing every detail and function from the bottom up. The result is a very elegant movement system which already meets all the technical and functional requirements of tomorrow.

Tiomos HINGE SYSTEM
In most cases, a masterpiece is the summation of many small strokes of genius. Tiomos is the best example to prove the point.
Soft-close inside. The whole damper technology is concealed within the hinge arm. One of the outstanding characteristics of the new hinge system is the Soft-close closing damper which features stepwise adjustment and is fully concealed within the hinge arm. The complex inner workings of this high-tech hinge are hidden from view, much like a Swiss clock movement, and cannot fail to impress with their unique damping characteristics. The closing process in each movement phase is smooth and completely without transition. Irrespective of the size and weight of the door. The objective was to create a product innovation with special functions, variable operating comfort and timeless design as well as its own individual character. And the result is up to the mark. Tiomos is the perfect movement system for foreseeable trends in furniture design. 18
Another stroke of genius is the new kinematics inside Tiomos. Thanks to physically optimised lever movements, furniture doors are extremely easy to open. In addition, this unique kinematic mechanism makes unprecedented alignment possible with minimum gaps.

GRASS COMFORT SYSTEMS
TIPMATIC OPENING SYSTEMS Mechanical opening of regular and pot drawers as well as furniture doors. The striking architectural qualities of modern furniture are reflected in its large surfaces, clean lines and a refreshing purism in its formal language. Reduction and simple elegance are the trends of our time. In line with the contemporary approach, furniture design increasingly focuses on door and drawer systems without handles or recessed grips. For furniture of this kind, where the emphasis is on looks and design, Tipmatic provides optimal scope for creativity. The touch-sensitive mechanism enables large, handle-free fronts and doors to be opened with just a gentle tap. Good to know the movement is not only technically functional, but also extremely comfortable. Because that makes every opening action an experience. 40

GRASS COMFORT SYSTEMS
SENSOMATIC OPENING SYSTEM Electro-mechanical opening of regular and pot drawers for top operating comfort. Action. Reaction. Interaction. Comfort cannot be any more fascinating. Thanks to Sensomatic’s automatic touch-sensitive function, a gentle trigger is enough to start the drawer movement. The mechanical touch or pull is converted into an electrical signal which starts the movement process within a few fractions of a second. Evenly, precisely and elegantly, all at once. Sensomatic in combination with Soft-close, the mechanical damping system, guarantees top-level comfort. Because the two systems combine all the advantages of handle-free opening with the elegance of damped closing. In short: Sensomatic is an interactive movement system for top operating comfort and maximum freedom of movement. 42

GRASS COMFORT SYSTEMS

Sensotronic combines all the benefits of a mechanical drawer slide with the fascinating possibilities of electronic systems. Sensotronic sets new benchmarks in user comfort and intelligent functionality. A gentle tap or pull is all it takes. Drawers open as if by themselves. All automatically. Always at the same speed and by the same amount. Irrespective of the load they carry. Sensotronic opens, closes, accelerates, brakes and controls the movement electronically. Good to know that form and function can be combined so perfectly. 44
