Since 1969, Cesar has built a name for itself in the realm of luxury contemporary kitchens. Now, more than half a century since its inception, the brand is zooming out of the culinary space and diving into providing architectural design for the entirety of a home.

And this extension of the Italian brand’s beloved aesthetically functional design language is translating into three new products. Each of which follows Cesar’s evolution into comprehensive interior design.

Contour Handle for Maxima 2.2

Firstly, the Contour handle for Maxima 2.2, designed in collaboration with the Italian-Spanish duo García Cumini. As part of the brand’s next step in its flagship kitchen design, it has been crafted to go beyond just configurable culinary spaces. Maxima 2.2 now stands as a framework made to evolve across new finishes, plinths, handles, and door fronts while retaining its functional and aesthetic essence.

At the heart of it is Contour. Sleek handles designed to transform mod storage into a design moment of its own. The metal base with ergonomic form is available in bespoke dimensions to fit your space, ranging from 30 mm to 2780 mm. The result is a high-quality, durable, personalised feature that elevates your interior vignette.

Boiserie Wall Systems

Next in tow are Cesar’s Boiserie Wall Systems. It transforms a monotonous walled surface into an active architectural element that offers premium storage. Leaving no aspect of the space to an afterthought, these wall systems feel like an extension of harmonious living.

And the Boiserie Wall Systems offer aesthetic versatility to be integrated into kitchens, living rooms, pantries, dining rooms, and utility spaces without skipping a beat. It hosts all the precision Cesar is known for and manifests itself as a unit that will make any living space feel considered in its organisation.

Passage Doors

And the final product in this exciting era is Cesar’s new Passage Doors. The brand recognises that thresholds are no longer succeeding characters in a space’s design story. And with its growing importance in modern homes, the Passage Doors contribute to the visual coherence of the zone.

Doubled in thickness, now at four centimetres, these doors are available to blend into any desired palette, offering greater presence and added sturdiness. Additionally, when incorporated with the chic Boiserie system and the new Contour handles, they blend naturally. They can also be personalised to suit your interior tastes, with handleless options for discreet transitions.

Cesar’s passage doors are also available in a glass finish with an aluminium frame and a slightly thinner profile.

Cesar’s expansion into whole-home interiors will allow your kitchen to feel like an extension of the rest of your space in truly chic style. The brand’s flagship store in Milan offers a tactile experience to preview the wonders that await your space.
