white sleek Euro-style--I love it! I am so done with SS, granite, and cherry---the US is always the last to pick up on the cutting edge. I used to window shop kitchens in London in the 80s and 90s and they were so far ahead of us in design and function. And Germany--fabulous stuff.
I'm sorry but without trying to sound like a jerk, that is butt freaking ugly. In 30 years designing and installing over 6000 kitchens I have never even seen anything like that. And that includes all the KBIS shows. I have never even seen anything like that in any of my annual cerification classes in any text books. And I hope I dont.

While I agree with you that the USA is always last to pick up on design I sincerly hope we never pick that up.
You are correct. White as well as that straight boring clean line faceless cabinet is popular in Europe. I gotta tell ya Sue, those cabinets would not sell here in the USA. Which is why those web sites are from the UK. We in the USA do not like frameles and they do not like framed like we have here. If the taste of Americans ever started going toward that boring straight line faceless cabinetry look then I will close the store and throw away 30 years in the biz.
The only semi successful frameless cabinet in the USA is that ultra junk IKEA because it is so cheap. But honestly you could get better quality boxes from behind the grocery store where they throw out all the corrugated cardboard.
Well I did say they are popular in EUROPE.
I disagree that they don't sell in the US-maybe not in your store,or in your state,wherever that may be, but contemporary is contemporary,whether in Europe or USA.
Look at some contemporary US homes and they won't have framed cherry cabinets, but straight, clean, contemporary lines-just like the homes they sit in.
You gotta get with it man!
