Used alongside white or pastel shades, Pearlbeige creates an airy, light home environment. Combining this soft earth tone with dark wood or black accents, meanwhile, gives kitchens a look that is striking but still warm. Pearlbeige truly comes into its own in the ArtLine design range, whose minimalist concept is completely handleless: appliances in this style open at the touch of a sensor control on the flush-fit Touch2Open user interface. On ovens, for example, the sensor control unlocks the door using a motor, causing it to slide down smoothly.
