Floating worktop
The worktop extends beyond the base units, making the island feel lighter and more open than a conventional cabinet block.
What makes +MODO different
+MODO is built around offset planes. The worktop, base units, and pull-out shelves are not treated as one solid cabinet volume, but as separate elements held in balance.
Offset composition
Cabinetry, worktop, and open shelves are set against one another, so the kitchen reads as layered architecture rather than one continuous mass.
Open presentation space
Pull-out shelving brings utensils, serving pieces, food, and personal objects into view without turning the kitchen into open storage.
Space opened beneath the surface
The gap between the worktop and the base units is not treated as empty space. In +MODO, it becomes part of the composition, giving the island a lighter presence while keeping everyday objects visible and within reach.
This is where the system becomes more than a cabinet arrangement. The island reads as a layered structure, with storage, display, and working surfaces held in one architectural line.
Designed around the island
+MODO is strongest in kitchens where the island is seen from more than one direction. In an open-plan home, penthouse, custom residence, or display suite, the kitchen has to support preparation, storage, serving, and daily use while remaining composed from the surrounding room.
Private homes
A kitchen with a strong island presence, refined storage, and a clear relationship between working surfaces and visible objects.
Design-led interiors
A system that can be planned around proportion, material continuity, appliance integration, and sightlines.
Multi-family and display projects
A German kitchen system for spaces where the island needs to read clearly from adjoining rooms.
Material contrast, made visible
+MODO gives each part of the island a clear role. The worktop, base units, and pull-out shelves can be read separately, so tone, texture, edge detail, and contrast become part of the architecture of the kitchen.
Worktop. The main horizontal surface gives the island its visual weight.
Cabinetry. Base units control how grounded or light the composition feels.
Pull-out shelves. Pull-out elements introduce objects, serving pieces, and daily-use items into the design.

Planned around the full kitchen project
+MODO is shaped by more than the cabinet system itself. Proportion, material selection, appliance planning, technical drawings, delivery timing, site conditions, and installation sequencing all affect the final result.
At KI Atelier, Poggenpohl is approached through a complete project process. Our team works with homeowners, designers, architects, builders, and developers from early design direction through specification, product supply, coordination, and installation support.
Design direction
Review the space, island proportion, sightlines, storage needs, and the role +MODO should play in the room.
Specification
Coordinate worktop, cabinetry, pull-out shelves, appliances, finishes, and technical requirements.
Project coordination
Support drawings, ordering, delivery timing, site questions, and communication with the project team.
Visit KI Atelier at 101 Water Street in Vancouver to see Poggenpohl materials in person and discuss how +MODO can be planned for a residential, multi-family, or design-led kitchen project in British Columbia.
